Volcanic eruption in Southern Chile

Volcanic eruption in Southern Chile

Mandddaaaaa 07 Jun 2011 00:37

Been browsing ATS of course as some of you may have noticed (this article was on the front page). Anyway, disregard the fact ATS posted about it. I was just wondering if this sort of eruption could effect people globally, rather than those just in Chile?

For those of you who would like to read the article (since I didn't really provide much detail to begin with) http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/06/05/3500-evacuate-as-volcano-erupts-in-southern-chile/

Appreciate any insight :D

I really don't think an eruption like that is going to have more than regional consequences in terms of them being noticeable. Ash from any volcano can technically spread around the world, but it's so dispersed after a certain point that it can't affect anything.

Chile is very tectonically active. See Alene's post in this thread.

Awesomeee, I think that is mainly directed at you because you are so young and get scared so easy. If you were too even see a title of a thread that had something you didn't already know was false, it would scare you. That's why its advised you don't go to these sites. As far as a claim being made, I think she was just wondering if the eruption could affect us globally.
Manda- I bet it could effect us globally to a point. Doesn't a lot of our produce get exported from there? When I worked at the produce area at the local Wal-Mart, I bet 25% of the fresh fruit came from there. But, not sure if they are in off season for food production or if they produce it year long.

Awesomeee- I think my reply to you was not clear. I was trying to state that you are young and that is why you get scared so easy. I was not trying to harp on you or anything. I understand being young and scared and I also think people can be a bit hard on you. I think that you are a great kid who is easily taken in by the woo sites and that you are progressing nicely for someone your age. I have friends with kids your age and I know how hard it is too understand a lot of the more technical questions. Keep your head high and don't let anyone discourage you from getting the reassurance you need.
