After digging out the soil layer, Wang Bo reached out to touch it.

Logically speaking, if the sand is warmed up caused by sun exposure, the soil layer exposed by digging out the sand is relatively low, because the sunlight does not have the ability to penetrate the sand layer.

But now he touched it with his hands and felt that it was warm and even a little hot.

Seeing this, he continued to dig, and dug out a small pit of about 40 cm in a few seconds.

At this time, turbid water emerged, which was easy to understand. Next to it was Haweiya Lake, with abundant groundwater around it. It was not uncommon to dig a hole and see a spring.

But the water was warm. Wang Bo changed the place and dug it again, and the water that emerged was still hot.

Seeing this, he guessed: "My God, is there really a volcano below? A hot spring? That damn it is not a surprise, it is terrifying!"

New Zealand is located in the "Pacific Ring of Fire" fault zone, which is an area called the mantle giant heat and pressure zone that submerged after the Pacific plate collided with the Indian and Australian continental plates.

This infiltration process provides sufficient energy for volcanic activities, so New Zealand has the characteristics of high-density active volcanoes and frequent eruptions.

However, there is no need to worry about the South Island in this regard. New Zealand's active volcanoes are distributed in the North Island of New Zealand.

There is a triangular Taupo volcanic area where regional surface cracks and volcanic eruptions occur in the region during the late Pleistocene and Pleistocene, almost all of which are there, such as Ruapehu, Anjou Houyi, Tonggeriva, Taravela and Baidao.

The deeper the digging, the hotter the water will emerge. Wang Bo was really worried and said distressedly: "If there is really a volcano below, my heaven, then the sunset town will be destroyed!"

The most significant role of volcanic activity in the landform is its violent eruption, and this is true for volcanoes on Earth.

Some geologists once said that New Zealand's North Island was born from volcanoes, but you should know that volcanic eruptions will not only create mountains and hills, but also destroy everything.

Like New Zealand's famous Lake Rotorua, it is located in a collapsed ancient crater, which is the result of a strong volcanic eruption destroying a hill.

There is also the world's largest volcanic lake, Lake Taupo, a tourist destination in New Zealand. It was formed by a huge volcanic eruption 20,000 years ago. In the past two thousand years, Taupo volcanic ash has been spread across thousands of square kilometers in the central part of the North Island.

Bowen was optimistic and said, "How can volcanic eruptions be so easy? I have traveled south and north, and have lived for so many years, but I have not seen a volcanic eruption yet!"

The young man also said: "Yes, even if there is a small volcano below, it may not erupt, and even if it erupts, it may not erupt magma. It may be volcanic fountains, volcanic mud ponds, geothermal steam, etc. like my hometown."

Hearing his actions, Wang Bo looked at him and asked, "You are from Rotorua, North Island?"

The young man nodded and smiled, "Yes, that is my hometown, a volcanic hometown."

Wang Bo thought to himself that no wonder this guy is so calm. It turns out that he has always lived on a volcano.

Small volcanoes are everywhere around Rotorua, but there have been no catastrophic eruptions in modern times. Volcanoes mainly show themselves through volcanic fountains, volcanic mud ponds and geothermal steam.

Volcanic fountains intermittently spray boiling water from deep underground into the air, and the height of the water column changes with the pressure on the ground.

The volcanic mud pond is like a pot of boiling porridge, full of bubbles.

After the bubbles burst, strands of geothermal steam appear, which forms geothermal steam, which will pass through various underground gaps and continuously escape into the atmosphere.

In fact, Bao Wen and the young man's attitude was not purely optimistic, and Wang Bo's panic was not because he was too pessimistic. This was the result of different education.

In the Chinese geography class, we talked about volcanoes and focused on the disasters after the volcano eruption. New Zealand is a country of volcanoes, and many volcanoes in China are more familiar with it. What students learn is that volcanoes basically won’t erupt.

Just like an earthquake, Chinese people are scared when talking about earthquakes, while New Zealanders talk about earthquakes are like talking about a pandemic, pay attention to it but not fear it.

There is no right or wrong in the two attitudes, nor is there any better or worse. It’s just that there are different understandings of these natural disasters after different education.

For example, when it comes to storms, it’s just that the Chinese shrugged. Every year, major coastal cities will be hit by hurricanes and storms. After the infrastructure is damaged, countries will carry out post-disaster reconstruction.

New Zealanders are very troublesome when talking about storms, because the damage caused by storms can only be paid by insurance companies, otherwise they will be responsible for themselves and the losses will be huge.

Moreover, volcanic activities have brought many opportunities to the New Zealand economy, especially in the tourism and souvenir industries.

For more than a century, the charming views of New Zealand's volcanoes and volcanic fountains attract thousands of tourists every year, and Auckland is a city built on a volcano.

In addition, volcanic activities in New Zealand have brought various useful minerals and products to the country of New Zealand. For example, volcanic rocks can be widely used as building materials.

In addition, underground hot water in volcanic hot springs and mud ponds contains various chemical components, which makes them a rare place for mineral springs to heal.

The underground hot water caused by geothermal activities can also be used to treat rheumatism, muscle disorders, eczema and other difficult diseases. Some other diseases can be treated in geothermal water tanks with different water temperatures and chemical composition.

Volcanic mud, as well as the chemical sulfur rich in hot springs, have a strong bactericidal effect and can be used to treat skin diseases.

Geothermal steam can be collected through pipes for heating homes and greenhouses, heating swimming pools, and industrially used for drying and shaping wood.

Even geothermal steam can also produce geothermal power. New Zealand is very effective in using geothermal power generation, and its technology has been exported to South America, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries.

Bowen thought of this: "Boss, if you are particularly afraid of a volcano underground, then develop a geothermal steam power station."

Geothermal steam power generation relies on requesting steam from the ground, which will reduce the pressure of underground heat sources and make geothermal heat lose its destructive power.

This cannot be decided now. Wang Bo plans to come and see the geology department. If there is really a volcano brewing underground, he will have to find a way to solve it.

It was so painful to say. He thought Hubin Heart really brought him some surprises, but it surprised him. There were not many things to be happy about.
