7 Things That Could Destroy Earth

[Music] our planet has survived the billions of years of catastrophic events that made it the world we live on now but one day there will be an event so disastrous that it will destroy this floating Rock and end this experiment known as Humanity after the lengthy number of possibilities we've narrowed down our list to the top seven Earth chattering events would we be sucked into an endless void could a second star appear and Fry our planet or is death waiting just below Earth's crust whether it was the breakup of Pangia or the meteor that took

out the dinosaurs Earth has been through more than one apocalyptic event these events changed our planet's geography while ushering in new ages for the life forms that followed and that's us usually been at the expense of the creatures who were already here but somewhere in our planet's future lies an Extinction event so devastating that it might not simply take out all of humanity but the Earth as well and in a matter of time our world could return to dust so what would it take to rip apart the Earth completely stargazing can bring a sense of

wonder that calms your mind but that may be over now because that shooting star you spotted isn't here to Grant your wish you may want a duck hurricanes remain one of the most deadly natural events on our planet and they leave a trail of death and destruction wherever they land but if an asteroid hits an ocean with enough enough force and heat hurricanes would be like fluff balls compared to what would come next a big enough asteroid would superheat the oceans to over 49° and this could set off a massive storm known as a hypercane

winds would move as fast as the speed of sound and clouds would reach Heights of up to 40 km the winds would shoot water and aerosols into the stratosphere destroying the ozone layer so even if the winds didn't carry you into space you could get fried by the radiation on Earth's surface this gas giant has twice the mass of all the planets in our solar system combined and the gases swirling around inside Jupiter's atmosphere are the same material that make up the Sun but if Jupiter became 1,000 times more massive that distant yellow dot would

wreak havoc on our planet with that much mass Jupiter would turn into a star since this new star would be right in the middle of the solar system planetary bodies would change their orbits Earth could get pulled in closer to Jupiter and get scorched by the heat coming off the former planet or even worse gravitational forces could make our world a rogue planet that means we'd be sent away into space outside the solar system endlessly roaming the universe in search of a new home without the heat of the sun to keep us warm the surface

of the Earth would freeze over killing all life on our planet but maybe we shouldn't focus on a star that hasn't formed yet and concentrate on the one we have after all this ball of gas makes life possible on our planet but since it burns through 600 million tons of hydrogen every second it's only a matter of time before this power source is used up and when that occurs the sun's core will become saturated with helium and begin to shrink the increased pressure and temperature would cause the sun to spit out massive amounts of energy

the sun's outer layers would expand creating a deadly Heat Wave on Earth our oceans would evaporate into thin air and the radiation would Scorch the planet's surface finally the sun once The Giver of Life Would swallow up what's left of our molten planet and if the Sun keeps expanding our solar system would face a new threat oh man it just keeps getting worse if the sun gains even more mass before collapsing you could witness the birth of one of the most mysterious forces in the universe a black hole the product of a Dying Stone are

the gravitational pull of this void can rip apart other stars and planets right now the sun is too small to create one of these catastrophes but if a black hole appears in front of Earth the uneven gravitational pull would start deforming the planet earthquakes and volcanic eruptions would break out all over the planet and as you come closer to the black hole's Event Horizon this monster might stretch out this world like a rubber band a black hole sucks in matter by compressing it horizontally making it look like a noodle we call this spaghettification every bit

of our planet would be stretched into a string of atoms and fed into this hungry void do you think Earth's future couldn't get any worse well come on this is what if and right now 10 to 20 volcanoes are erupting across our planet spewing Ash and gas into the atmosphere but if every volcano on Earth exploded at once you couldn't escape the fumes and heat no matter where you live rocks reaching 1,000° would travel as fast as 700 kmph with such a massive amount of molten rock slamming onto the surface the planet could lose its

balance and the poles could realign a thick layer of Ash and gas would suffocate Earth and eventually block out all the sunlight and while the lava cools the temperature on Earth would drastically drop sending us into another Ice Age while this event wouldn't necessarily end our entire planet it would destroy any chance of sustaining life until those clouds clear up the earth makes one full rotation on its axis every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds and it's not moving at the same speed everywhere the rotational speed varies depending on your distance to the poles

if you're at the the equator it moves the fastest at a rate of 460 m/s at the North or South Pole it's moving the slowest technically it's not moving at all this rotation makes Earth suitable for Life the dial cycle or the shifting between day and night helps keep the planet at a habitable temperature Earth's rotation is the driving force of weather patterns even tides are affected by the Earth's spin so if we were to accelerate this rotation would we completely destabilize the climate if you increased the rotational speed by 0.45 m/s our days would

be shorter but only by a minute and a half you might not even notice the change I don't know but even with this slight increase sea levels would Rise by several CM or a few inches yeah the water around the poles would migrate toward the equator now if you increased this acceleration to 45 m/s then a single day would be about 22 hours you'd start to feel confused almost like jet lag we'd also need to add a few more days to the year but for sea levels it would be a dramatic I change the world's

oceans at the equator would rise as much as 9 to 20 M places like New York Venice and Mumbai would be submerged millions of people would be displaced now if we doubled the current rotation speed to 920 m/s disaster would strike water would cover everything except for the highest mountains like kilamanjaro or the highest Summits of the Andes satellites orbiting the planet would be out of sync as they need to orbit at a speed that matches our rotation this would disrupt Communications television broadcasting and military operations and you would notice some significant weather changes the

air would be heavy with moisture dense fog clouds and constant rain would be the norm in Regions near the equator if you keep speeding things up at some point you could fly off the planet that's because the centrifugal force of the rotation would be enough to overcome the gravity keeping you on the surface this would happen at a speed of 7,886 m/s and you would experience reverse rain yeah droplets of water would move upward in the atmosphere instead instead of falling now if you pushed the speed to 11,000 m/s the Earth's crust would begin to

flatten at the poles and bulge around the equator enormous earthquakes would rattle to Planet there would be little chance that anything on Earth could survive but if you were to crank the velocity up some more brace yourself like to the speed of light things would get wild if the Earth rotated at a speed of 299,792,458 the Earth is flant and stationary rotating at this extreme speed would distort time on Earth it would slow down so much that it would eventually stop you would freeze in time so hopefully you'd be caught in a good moment Earth

could become a tiny black hole that's because an object moving at the speed of light has an infinite Mass yeah nothing would be making it out of this situation alive a category 6 hurricane is About to Rock New York Category 5 is the highest classification a storm can get these storms have wind speeds of 252 kmph or higher and they're catastrophic homes get destroyed large areas are rendered uninhabitable and the power outages could last for weeks even months but with the warming effects of climate change on our oceans and atmosphere a whole new classification could

be added to the mix Category 6 a super storm this strong would make a category 5 storm seem like a windy walk in the park the very first seed of this tropical storm would form in October oob late into hurricane season it would start as a low pressure weather system that creates clouds and thunderstorms 10 days later this tropical wave as it's known would evolve into a tropical storm in the Caribbean but it wouldn't stop there after a few more days HS officially hurricane what if and as it passes over Jamaica and Cuba it would

continue to grow in size and force climbing from a category 1 to three and even up to five from New York you'd see the damage wha if is causing in its path but you still wouldn't worry normally these storms curve East and out to sea before they hit you this time you wouldn't be so lucky 3 weeks after it began the storm would shatter records to become the biggest strongest hurricane ever making its first landfall in New Jersey it would slam the state with wind speeds up to 300 kmph when Hurricane Sandy made landfall here

in 2012 the wind speeds were less than half of that and when all was said and done Sandy caused around 2 million people to lose power $19 billion in damages and left 43 dead when our Category 6 hurricane makes landfall in New York you should expect astronomically more damage than this the storm would be larger in size than half of the United States that's when the real chaos would begin Storm surges over 8 m would cause rapid and dangerous flooding all over the city from the beach es to the streets to the tunnels without mass

evacuations Millions would be stranded or in immediate danger of drowning water would gush into the subway stations it would sweep buses and cars down the street Wastewater plants would be impacted resulting in untreated sewage mixing with local waterways if you were caught outside you would be certainly fighting for your life powerful winds would make flying debris a constant Hazard a category 6 storm would make the smallest objects into deadly projectiles especially shards of glass from damaged skyscrapers that would Sway in the wind like trees if the wind managed to penetrate your storm-proof building all that

air would make the roof and walls cave in and that would mean even more projectile material in the Wind the power would go out too all of New York City and its nearly 9 million residents would be in total darkness vital services such as Health Care Transportation and communication would be completely cut off millions of people would be desperate for rescue before all this is over you'd find yourself briefly in the eye of the storm here everything would seem calm the pressure in the center of this storm would be so low it would be like

standing on a mountain peak 1500 m above sea level yeah you'd be gulping for air finally the storm would subside on land there would no longer be warm ocean water to fuel it but with so much infrastructure destroyed you'd have no way out except by boat as as you traveled through the flooded streets of Manhattan you'd see the whole city completely ruined the power would be out in Time Square millions could lose their homes and many would die life on Earth has ended several times before and it's safe to say it will happen again think

you're prepped for these scenarios let us know in the comments of course we based these doomsday predictions around science and observable facts but some things are beyond our understanding like what if the threat to our existence wasn't miles underground what if it was less than 2 M below what if there was a zombie apocalypse well start working on your cardio because that's a story for another what is [Music] f
