Traces of the devastation caused by volcanic eruptions will be found at many places on the Earth. There are many countries in the world which have been facing the havoc of volcanic eruptions for centuries. However, India has been safe in this matter for the last several decades. But will India be safe from this danger in future also?
We are saying this because there is a volcano in the country which is continuously active. Scientists are worried that if there is an explosion, then how much will India have to suffer due to it. Let us tell you in detail about the only active volcano of India.
where is this volcano
The volcano we are talking about is located in the eastern part of the Andaman-Nicobar Islands. Local people call it the sleeping devil in their language. The name of this volcano is Barren Island Volcano. You will be surprised to know that this is the only volcano not only in India but in the entire South Asia which is currently active.
Why do you feel threatened by this?
Scientists are worried about this volcano. This is because India has felt many earthquake tremors in the last few years. These earthquakes and tsunamis can cause the eruption of the Barren Island volcano. This is the reason why Indian scientists and researchers from all over the world are keeping an eye on this Barren Island volcano. The most dangerous thing about this Barren Island volcano is that this volcano is continuously active and it is estimated to remain active even further.
Which city will suffer the most loss
Now coming to the question that if this Barren Island volcano explodes, which city will be affected the most. In fact, if this happens, its impact will be visible on the entire South Asia. We are saying this because after the eruption, the ash rising from the volcano covers the entire sky. However, this will cause the most trouble to Port Blair, the capital of Andaman. This is because this city is just 150 km away from this volcano. It is said about this volcano that smoke and lava were first seen coming out of it in the year 1787.
