Apocalypse By Super Volcano (Caldera)

or log in to view this course.

It’s dirty and gruesome, and it packs a punch. More like a knock-out punch, this explosive apocalyptic event would bring the United States to its Knees and drive humanity backward indefinitely. Chemistry will keep you alive if you know how the ins and outs of how the matter from this explosive event will interact with you, the people you care about and the world around you. This is what we will be covering:

  • Volcanic gasses, physical structure, and chemical reactivity
  • Volcanic and super-volcanic processes
  • Properties of matter – melting points for rocks and minerals
  • Chemical properties of volcanic ash and it’s chemical interaction with human and animal physiology
  • Properties of water and how it interacts with volcanic ash and poisonous volcanic gasses.
