17、, but for scientists at Nasa, its also one of the greatest natural threats to human civilization as we know: a potential supervolcano.When Nasa scientists came to consider the problem, they conceived a plan to drill up to 10km down into the supervolcano, and pump down water at high pressure. The cir

But drilling into a supervolcano does not come without certain risks, namely triggering the eruption youre intending to prevent. Therefore, the idea is to drill in from t
19、he supervolcano from the lower sides, starting outside the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park, and extracting the heat from the underside of the magma chamber. “This way youre preventing the heat coming up from below from ever reaching the top of the chamber which is where the real threat arise
20、s,” Wilcox says.Such a plan could be potentially applied to every active supervolcano on the planet, and Nasas scientists are hoping that their blueprints will encourage more practical scientific discussion and debate for tackling the threat.“When people first considered the idea of defending the Ea

Well, it turns out if you engineer something which pushes very slightly for a very
22、 long time, you can make the asteroid miss the Earth. So the problem turns out to be easier than people think. In both cases it requires the scientific community to invest brain power and you have to start early. But Yellowstone explodes roughly every 600,000 years, and it is about 600,000 years sin
