But Who Could Love Me? For I Am Out Of My Mind

ANASTASIA & DIMITRI

hey, you should be glad these things are around, they’re a sign that Earth isn’t going to let cosmic radiation cook you alive anytime soon!

volcanoes erupt when plumes of liquid magma rise up through the more sluggish magma closer to Earth’s crust and melt their way up to the surface, like how the cheese bubbles up through your pot of unattended macaroni! (except WAY less delicious)

and this magma rises in the first place because it’s been superheated by Earth’s core, which is a constantly-rotating semifluid ball of supercompressed hellfire iron hotter than the surface of the sun!

the unimaginable pressure down there combined with the physical rotation turns Earth’s heart into a primitive dynamo engine that generates a powerful magnetic field, which acts like an enormous forcefield and prevents most of the cosmic radiation Earth encounters from ever reaching the surface!

which is good, because it would immediately blast the surface of the Earth clean of life if it ever did make landfall. 

so if you ever do encounter an erupting volcano, remember that all things are connected, and stop to give Mama Earth a pat of thanks for protecting you from the cosmic forces of the universe which would very much like to make you extremely dead!
