Natural Disaster

This year really means natural disasters!

1st there is cyclone Myanmar
then there is si-chuan earth quake
and now there is a typhoon in Philippine

so i was just running through the sites about natural disaster and i found this rare and interesting natural disaster.

the

Limnic eruptions

A limnic eruption, also referred to as a lake overturn or exploding lake, is a rare type of natural disaster in which CO2 suddenly erupts from deep lake water, posing the threat of suffocating wildlife, livestock and humans. Such an eruption may also cause tsunamis in the lake as the rising CO2 displaces water. Scientists believe landslides, volcanic activity, or explosions can trigger such an eruption.

Is'nt it cool!?

can you imagine you see this group of people from afar, then the next moment you see them struggling and suffocating?!

by the way tomorrow is my engineering maths paper! i hope that my hard work will payoff!
