The Great Volcano From Tibet - Is Our Planet Earth Heading Towards A Total Disaster

 

The Great Volcano from Tibet is going to erupt again in near future. The eruption will be so massive that it could wipe out all life on our Planet. A new concept regarding the formation of continents has been published through the previous two papers – can find it elsewhere in this forum, which is entirely different from the existing theory of Plate Tectonics. The new theory gives a real concept of Evolution of Earth and formation of continents through the Great volcanic Eruption from Tibet and the Himalayas.

The first and second paper together summarises that, formation of continents were happened through the Great Volcanic Eruption from Tibet, and now it is pointing towards another possible eruption from Tibet in near future - may be/hopefully of smaller magnitude. It concludes that as Tibet is a former crater of the great eruption that had caused the formation of continents, and a former crater is the weakest point in Earth’s crust, and pressure is now building up in the interior of Earth, and another eruption if happens will be through Tibet.

Wikipedia says “Since the end of the ice age, Tibet has risen at approximately 10 millimetres (0.39 in) per year, at the same rate as the Himalaya. While the Himalaya rise can be explained by plate tectonics, the rise of Tibet can be explained as the isostatic rebound of the crust rising after the weight of the ice was removed. The amount of isostatic rebound since the last ice age is approximately 650 metres.

 The figure of 650 m shown above has happened for the entire area of Tibet, and shall be taken seriously, because this cannot be due to Plate Tectonics or isostatic rebound.  Existence of hot springs, warm and salty lakes - most of which are endorheic basins - and shrinking or drying out so fast, disproportionate rise of temperature in the region, constant increase of height of Himalayan ranges & Tibet, etc. could be indications of a probable eruption that could happen from Tibet in near future.

Some of the soil exploration techniques which can be used in very simple ways to assess and evaluate the pattern of temperature rise towards the interior in the Tibetan region. Considering the magnitude of probable eruption, it may be given top priority to explore whether there is chance of future eruption from Tibet, and it is of utmost importance so far as the existence of life in our mother planet is concerned. The following suggestions may be considered for evaluation. (the pics and details of salt lakes, boiling hot springs, drying lakes etc... of Tibet is available in the web) 

 

1.   Detailed exploration may be conducted at some key points where there is abnormally high surface temperature or disproportionate increase in temperature considering latitude and elevation of the place and its surrounding areas.

2.   At some of the selected points, we may conduct detailed studies to measure rate of rise of underground temperature. Also we can dig a few bore holes to sufficient depth, say upto few kilometers – if it feels necessary – to study the underground rock structure and rate of rise of temperature towards interior of Earth’s crust.

3.   Details may also be collected about the presence and distribution pattern of volcanic residues over the entire area to establish the pre historic Great Volcanic Eruption that had happened from Tibet.

4.   Some bore holes of shallow depth at Lhasa measured 125 degrees C where China has installed 25 MW capacity Geo-thermal station.

5.   Also Wikipedia says the temperature at Tibet and Himalayas is increasing at 4 times faster rate than that Scientists have assessed the same for Global increase, which clearly indicates that global warming is not the reason for the Himalayan glaciers to melt, but it is due to the heat source from Himalaya and Tibet itself and it is increasing in a faster rate than that of Global increase.

6.   The entire Tibet is evenly spread with large number of salty and warm water lakes from which there is no out flow of water. Most of these lakes are shrinking at an alarming rate and many are already dried out. This can be taken as an indication of increase in underground temperature.

7.   Some studies may also be done in view that, what should have been the normal climatic conditions at an elevation of 5000m and latitude of 40-42 degrees, and how much is the deviation of actual climatic conditions that exists in Tibet, from these standardized values. Also we can evaluate in detail, the rainfall, runoff and quantity of evaporation losses, and we can compare those figures with any other normal basin having comparable values. Tibet is an area of extremely high wind velocity. We can also look into the pattern of air convection to study the dissipation of amount of heat and moisture from these areas. China is already experiencing drought in recent years, due to climate change and rise of temperature.

8.   The deepest point  in the depression formed at Turpan is about 160 m below MSL, and is dried out though there are many rivers flowing towards the depression. The portion combines a strange mix of salt lakes and sand dunes. This activity of forming a depression can be associated with the Great Volcanic Eruption as this area comes within the area marked as crater of the Great Volcanic activity.

9.   The physical climatic conditions in the southern and northern side of Himalayan ranges, ie. the side of India and side of Tibet, may be compared for better understanding of the situation. On Indian side the average elevation at planes is only 300m with no salt lakes, hot springs and endorheic basins, percolation losses from water bodies and rate of increase of underground temparature is normal.  On the other side, ie on the side of Tibet, it is plateau and elevation ranges from 4500 to 5200 m, large number of big and small salty and warm lakes, hot springs and endorheic basins are present, losses from water bodies mainly due to evaporation are very high, leading to drying out of lakes and shrinking of river size and rate of increase of underground temperature is abnormal and alarming at many places.

10.   From the real time observation of all the above, the amount of heat generated from the entire area of Tibet can be calculated and possibly we can arrive at a quick conclusion about presence of volcanic activity from Tibet, and future strategy can be planned accordingly.

11.   Though there are many places all around the world which are affected by drought due to climate change in recent years, the case of Tibet is different as the drying out of water bodies are due to increase in underground temperature and the entire region - though much isolated from the developing world - is getting warmed up at much faster rate than Global warming. The presence of emerging hot springs – that too at this elevation of 4500 to 5000 m above MSL - along with drying water bodies also strengthens the possibility of initialization of volcanic activity from the location.

12.   Remember this is the only volcano which originates from interior of Earth, all other volcanoes we see now are only superficial tiny volcanoes from the entrapped lava of formed continents. (this is explained in detail thro my previous papers)

 

Conclusion

From these we may infer that the process of cooling down of the Tibetan crater is over and now it is in the process of building up pressure and heat, and this may end up with another eruption from Tibet in near future.

There are a lot more clear evidences for a possible eruption in future from Tibet, and I humbly suggest that we may take positive steps to look into the matter, and It has became the need of the hour that we have to evaluate the matter positively without taking chance of any risk, and prepare ourselves to face the situation. Also we have the responsibility to save Earth for survival of life. It is better to form a team of scientists to evaluate the situation at the earliest, to save & protect the existence of life on Planet Earth, and to plan important strategic steps to save our planet from the oncoming disaster. The volcanic eruption might be followed by heating up of ocean water with partial drying up of Oceans, total darkness that might extend to some months, continuous and massive rain that could flood and heavily erode almost every land mass, followed by another ice age, and eventually it could wipe out all life on earth. We have to plan strategies now itself for the survival of life from all these catastrophes, and it is our responsibility too.

When I look up isostatic uplift and Tibet on Wiki I do not find the passage you quote. Where is it from, please?

 “Since the end of the ice age, Tibet has risen at approximately 10 millimetres (0.39 in) per year, at the same rate as the Himalaya. While the Himalaya rise can be explained by plate tectonics, the rise of Tibet can be explained as the isostatic rebound of the crust rising after the weight of the ice was removed. The amount of isostatic rebound since the last ice age is approximately 650 metres.

 

I have taken the lines some months back from wikipedia. now I couldn't find the exact word, Sometimes the porion might have been edited in between or I may be missing the exact location from where i have copied it earlier

The portion which I can find close to the quoted one comes under the title

Geography of Tibet

Tibet during the last glacial period

 

"…….The enormous uplift of Tibet by approx. 10 mm/y measured by triangulations since the 19th century and confirmed by glaciogemorphological findings as well as by seismological investigations equals the uplift of the Himalaya. However, these amounts of uplift are far too important as to a primarily tectonic uplift of the high plateau which only takes place epirogenetically. Actually they can be understood the better by a superimposed glacioisostatic compensation movement of Tibet about 650 m.[12]….."

The term isostatic rebound also has been replaced by Glaciostatic compensation or post glacial isostatic adjustment etc... recently.

Can you not post a link to the web page? I still can't find it - what I have found is a page on Tibet that says it is rising at half that rate (5mm/yr).

 

And what make you think a volcano is involved, when the geophysics of Tibet is attributed to underthrust of the Asian plate by the Indian plate? There is no evidence of vulcanism, so far as I am aware, and no reason, so far as I know, to think that uplift of the plateau could be caused by vulcanism. From what I read, there are bodies of granitic magma at depth, presumably due to the normal subduction processes at a convergent plate margin, and these are responsible for the hot springs and so forth. (We have hot springs in Southwest England, but no volcanoes!)

The required link is shown below, The page comes under the sub head "Tibet during the last glacial period"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Tibet#Tibet_during_the_last_glacial_period

 

Ah, thanks. So we have two different Wiki articles mentioning different rates of uplift of the Tibetan plateau: your link says 10mm/yr and the one I quoted says 5mm/yr. OK, either way it has gone up pretty fast. So what, though?

 

The explanation given on the web articles I have read says this uplift is a mixture of tectonic activity and isostatic rebound after the last ice age. You, however, say this "cannot" be true. Why not? 

 

I note that in your previous paper, in the "Strange Claims" section of the site, you dismiss plate tectonics as impossible and contrary to the laws of physics. I presume you realise that many qualified physicists work in this field and they seem to have no problem with it. (You are an engineer, I see, not a geophysicist.) So you have quite a bit of explaining to do if you want to convince people that you are right and everyone else is wrong. 

 

There is an enormous amount of evidence for plate tectonics. What weakness in plate tectonics does your theory explain better?

The weakness in Plate Tectonics may be discussed later, anyway!

The top priority now, shall be to evaluate the possibility of massive volcanic eruption that could happen from Tibet, so far the existence of life in our planet is concerned.

There are a lot of observations coming out regarding temparature rise in Tibet and Himalayas, and this must be .seriously looked into.

No. There will be no priority given to discussing your notion of a volcanic eruption, until you can make a convincing case that there might be one. And your case seems to rely on dismissing the plate tectonic/isostatic rebound explanation of what is happening in Tibet.

 

Merely asserting - as an engineer - that it is wrong, when the professionals in the geophysics community seem to think it is right, is not going to impress anybody, is it?  

 

So, again, please give your reasons for why you think the plate tectonic and isostatic rebound explanation is wrong, and why you appear to think that there must be magma approaching the surface, contrary to what everyone else believes.  

 

It would be helpful in particular if you can explain why you seem to think that the rise in elevation of the entire Tibetan plateau is an indicator of volcanism.  This behaviour does not seem to be in any of the books.
