What is the worst thing that could hurt the earth?

Answer 1

The worst thing that'll hurt the Earth is getting melted by the Sun when it grows from a small yellow star into a red giant star in about seven billion years, as estimated by astrophysical calculations.

The Sun will transform all the hydrogen it has into helium by fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei. The helium will accumulate in the Sun's nucleus, and the Sun's volume will increase. Its temperature will also increase. As a consequence, In about three billion years, water in the Earth's oceans will evaporate. In about seven billion years, the Sun will ultimately swallow Mercury, and its temperature will be so high that the Earth's rocks will melt.

After that, the Sun will have burned all the helium in it and shrink into a white dwarf star, so the Solar System, including the Earth, will freeze.

That will mark the end of the Earth, and so it will be the thing that will hurt it most.

Answer 2

Earthquake is the worst thing that could hurt the earth. Because all other desastors are predictable. Scientist have not yet developed the fool proof method to predict the occurence of earthquake. Even I doubt that it may not be possible in this century. Designer of early warning system for earthquake. By A.Ganapathy..

Answer 3

For a quick destruction of earth, I would say an asteroid that manages to come through the atmosphere and hits the earth... that would do some serious damage.
For a slow, painful, agonizing destruction, that would be humans. We're slowly killing our planet. Pretty soon we're going to squeeze all the resources out of our earth, and realize we've gone to far, but it's too late.... I hope people wake up soon, and realize we're just setting ourselves up for a disaster we won't be ready for.

Answer 4

There are all so many gases and what not in the center of the earth that I believe if this EVER for any reason exploded, we would be in a world of sh*t. I mean think about this for a minute. We have active volcano's so there are gases down there. And with the latest being Tsunami's (Spelling?) It is possible. I hope not, but you never know.

Answer 5

The earth exploding from within...a massive volcano and earthquake destroying the earth....possible...don't know!!!!
The center of the earth is still a molten mass......pressure can release as it does in small vents all over the earth...maybe a gigantic weak point in the crust and layers below...something to ponder.....

Answer 6

Humans

Answer 7

Answer 8

Devastating solar flares or any destructive unusual activity on the sun could be added to the list of possible candidates for causes of mass extinctions.

Answer 9

Man

Answer 10

Young Buck has it. That's probably what wiped out the dinosaurs and all living life at the time.
