2012 Super Volcanoes
With rumors of 2012 and the rotating axis of the world that will cause many major disasters, super volcanoes are undoubtedly one of the scariest and most fascinating.
According to the Discovery Channel there are 7 super volcanoes in the world.

Volcanoes for those of you who think they are no big deal, a bunch of lava comes out with some ash and I’m too far away to even be affected by it are WRONG.
Quote Wikipedia, “Although there are only a handful of super volcanoes, super volcanic eruptions typically cover huge areas with lava and volcanic ash and cause a long-lasting change to weather (such as the triggering of a small ice age) sufficient to threaten the extinction of species.”
Mount Tambora Indonesia 1815
One of the largest volcanic eruptions in history was in 1815. The Mount Tambora eruption ranked a 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. The effects were felt as far as North America and Europe. 1816, the year after, became known as the year without a summer. Agricultural crops failed and livestock all died. It was one of the worse years of famine in the world’s history.
Now Imagine December 2012 7 Super volcanoes going off all at the same time, that rank a 8 or higher on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. You can imagine the consequences.
