Volcanoes have caused some of the worst natural disasters the world has ever seen. 화산은세상이이제껏본가장심한자연재해들중몇가지를일으켰다. 2. But would it surprise you to know that despite their destructive power, volcanoes actually come with their share of benefits? 하지만그것들의파괴력에도불구하고화산은실제로그것들만의이점이있다는것을알게된다면당신은놀랄것인가? 3. The Young Earth Life Sparked by Volcanic Lightning 화산번개에의해유발된생명 4. A few million years after Earth s formation, its surface was dominated by volcanoes. 지구형성몇백만년후에그것의표면은화산에의해큰영향을받았다. 5. Although the sun was much weaker then than it is today, volcanoes spewed out large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, enabling the planet to trap the limited heat from the sun. 태양은오늘날보다훨씬더약했지만, 화산은다량의온실가스를대기로분출하여지구가태양에서오는얼마안되는열을가둘수있게했다. 6. Volcanoes also gave off water vapor, which helped make the oceans; these contained amino acids that may have been delivered by meteors or created during meteor strikes. 화산은또한수증기를내뿜었는데, 이는바다를만드는데도움이되었고, 이것들은혜성이가져왔거나유성충돌시에만들어졌을지도모르는아미노산을함유하고있었다. - 1 -
7. In the earliest warm water, rich with volcanic sulfur particles, more and more amino acids were generated, but this alone did not create life. 화산작용에의한유황입자로가득했던가장초기의따뜻한물에서더욱더많은아미노산이만들어졌지만, 이것혼자서생명을탄생시키지는않았다. 8. One theory holds that lightning striking the ocean caused the amino acids to combine into proteins, the foundation of cells. 한가설은바다에친번개가아미노산이결합하여세포의토대인단백질이되도록했다는것이다. 9. Life on Earth may have begun in a soup of water, sulfur, and lightning. 지구의생명은어쩌면물, 유황, 그리고번개의혼합액에서시작되었을지도모른다. 10. A Volcanic Winter Caused by Ash Cloud 화산재구름이일으킨화산겨울 11. A huge volcanic eruption in Sumatra, Indonesia, came very close to wiping out most of humanity between 69,000 and 77,000 years ago. 69,000년에서 77,000년전에인도네시아수마트라에서있었던대규모화산폭발은인류의대부분을거의파괴시킬뻔했다. 12. This supervolcano, known as Toba, erupted with such force that its caldera covered 1,158 square miles. Toba라고알려진이초화산은엄청난파괴력으로분화하여칼데라가 1,158 제곱마일에이를정도였다. 13. It spewed out 2,800 billion cubic meters of magma, 800 billion of which was ash. 그것은 2 조 8 천억세제곱미터의마그마를분출했는데, 그중 8 천억세제곱미터는화산재였다. - 2 -
14. This ash settled in a layer about six inches thick that blanketed southern Asia, and worse, became trapped in the atmosphere, blocking out the sun. 이화산재는아시아남부를뒤덮은약 6인치두께의층으로내려앉았고, 더심각하게는대기에갇혀햇볕을차단했다. 15. The resulting volcanic winter lasted 6 to 10 years and led to a cooling period for about 1,000 years. 그결과로생긴화산겨울이 6 년에서 10 년동안지속되었고대략천년의냉각기로이어졌다. 16. The Age of Civilizations Flourishing Ancient Civilizations near Volcanoes 화산근처에서번창하는고대문명 17. One of history s most successful civilizations was the Maya, which ruled Central America from around 800 BC to 1530. 역사속가장성공한문명들중하나는마야였는데, 이것은기원전 800년경부터 1530년까지중앙아메리카를지배했다. 18. Many Maya settlements were situated in mountainous regions on or near towering volcanoes that were blanketed with nutrient-rich soil. 많은마야정착지들은양분이풍부한토양으로뒤덮인높이솟은화산위나근처의산악지역에위치해있었다. 19. The soil loaded with nutrients and minerals was brought to the surface from deep under the ground during eruptions. 양분과광물질로채워진토양은화산폭발동안지하깊은곳에서지표면으로옮겨졌다. 20. This supported the agricultural foundation that helped the Maya civilization to flourish. 이것이마야문명이번창하는데도움이되었던농업의기반을떠받쳐주었다. - 3 -
21. Many other civilizations the Etruscans in northern Italy, the ancient civilizations of Greece, and the Roman Empire have also benefited from living near volcanoes. 이탈리아북부의에트루리아인들, 그리스의고대문명, 그리고로마제국과같은많은다른문명들또한화산근처에서거주함으로써혜택을입어왔다. 22. Destruction of Civilization by Volcanic Eruption 화산폭발에의한문명파괴 23. On August 24th, 79 A.D., the residents of the Roman city of Pompeii woke up to a day that seemed like any other. 서기 79년 8월 24일, 로마도시폼페이의주민들은일어나서여느날과다름없어보였던하루를맞았다. 24. Before the night was over, however, Mount Vesuvius had exploded, spewing out a cloud of volcanic material that reached some 30 miles in height more than 1.5 million tons of red-hot rock and lava per second. 하지만, 그밤이끝나기전에 Vesuvius 산이폭발하여고도약 30 마일까지이른화산물질먼지를분출했는데, 시뻘겋게달아오른암석과용암이초당 150만톤을초과했다. 25. All life was wiped out within six miles of the mountain, due in large part to the super-hot flow of gas, ash, and rock that moved into the area in a matter of moments, killing thousands of people nearly instantly. 그산의 6마일이내에있던모든생물이파멸되었는데, 대부분순식간에그지역으로흘러들어간극도로뜨거운가스, 화산재, 그리고암석때문이었고, 그것은수천명의사람들을거의곧바로죽였다. 26. Up to 80 feet of ash fell in only six hours; it hardened, covering and preserving the city, which was not rediscovered until 1738. 최대 80 피트의화산재가겨우여섯시간만에떨어졌고, 이것은굳어서그도시를덮고보존하였는데, 1738년이되어서야그것이다시발견되었다. - 4 -
27. Earth s Future The Formation of New Lands 새로운육지의형성 28. In 1963, the story of the formation of new land spread across the world. 1963 년, 새로운땅의형성에대한이야기가전세계에퍼졌다. 29. In the ocean off Reykjavik, Iceland, men had discovered that lava from an erupting volcano had formed a tiny island, which was named Surtsey. And it s not alone. 아이슬란드레이캬비크앞바다에서사람들이폭발하는화산에서나온용암이아주작은섬을형성했다는것을발견했고, 그것은 Surtsey라고이름붙여졌다. 30. In recent years, the Canary Islands are gaining a sister off the island of El Hierro, and in the Red Sea a new island appeared suddenly after an eruption in 2011. 그리고그것뿐이아니다. 최근에카나리아제도에서는 El Hierro 섬의앞바다에자매섬이생기고있고, 홍해에서는 2011년화산폭발이후에갑자기새로운섬이생겼다. 31. Off Tonga, an island called Home Reef was created in 2006 by a volcano that previously erupted in 1852, 1857, and 1984; volcanologists expect the tiny island to keep growing. 통가앞바다에서는앞서 1852년, 1857년, 그리고 1984년에폭발했던화산에의해 Home Reef라불리는섬이 2006년에만들어졌고, 화산학자들은그아주작은섬이계속커질것으로기대한다. 32. All of the Hawaiian Islands were made by volcanoes, and a new one may eventually join them. 하와이제도의모든섬들은화산에의해만들어졌는데, 새로운섬이언젠가는그것들에합류할지도모른다. 33. It s now 3,000 feet from the surface, and scientists think that it will break the waves in 50,000 years. 현재그것은수면으로부터 3천피트떨어져있지만, 과학자들은그것이 5만년안에수면위로올라올것이라생각한다. - 5 -
34. The Life-altering Supervolcano 삶을바꾸는초화산 35. The force of a supervolcano is so great that it could ultimately destroy all humankind. 초화산의힘은너무커서결국모든인류를멸망시킬수있다. 36. The first victims would be those living closest to the supervolcano, but unlike a smaller eruption, the kill zone would cover a large area. 첫희생자들은초화산에서가장가까이에살고있는사람들이겠지만, 더작은규모의화산폭발과는달리살상구역은광대한지역을포함할것이다. 37. If Yellowstone supervolcano in Northwest Wyoming blows, everyone in all of the states surrounding Wyoming could be at risk of dying. 와이오밍주북서부에있는옐로스톤초화산이폭발하면, 와이오밍주를둘러싸고있는모든주의모든사람들이사망의위험에처할수있다. 38. Volcanologists estimate that a layer of ash three feet deep would settle across fully half of the United States, with smaller amounts covering the rest of the country. 화산학자들은깊이 3 피트의화산재층이미국의절반에걸쳐서완전히내려앉고, 더적은양이미국의나머지지역을덮을것이라고추정한다. 39. Many scientists have been working out methods that can predict a supervolcanic eruption. 많은과학자들은초화산폭발을예측할수있는방법을고안해왔다. 40. They claim that there is no cause for panic, and even when the day does come, we will be given plenty of warning. 그들은공포에질릴이유가없고, 그날이정말올때에도우리는많은경고를받을것이라고주장한다. - 6 -
