Earth's Largest Plate is Moving-Can It Trigger The World's Biggest Eruption?

Описание: The Pacific Plate, Earth’s largest tectonic plate, is on the move once again—shifting, grinding, and reshaping the planet beneath our feet. Its relentless motion fuels the Pacific Ring of Fire, the most dangerous volcanic and earthquake zone on the planet. Stretching from South America to Southeast Asia, this fiery arc is home to nearly 75% of Earth’s active volcanoes and generates around 90% of the world’s earthquakes. In recent years, massive quakes and eruptions have shaken the Pacific Rim, raising urgent questions about what else may be stirring below the surface.

Hidden deep beneath the Philippine Sea lies the Apolaki Caldera, the largest caldera ever discovered on Earth—twice the size of Yellowstone. For millions of years it has slept in silence, but as the Pacific Plate continues to strain under immense geological forces, scientists are asking: could this ancient supervolcano awaken? A single eruption from Apolaki could rival or exceed history’s greatest volcanic events, reshaping oceans, climates, and civilizations. From mega-quakes in Alaska and Chile to volcanic tremors in Kamchatka and Indonesia, the Pacific is restless.
