END OF THE WORLD: KILLER quakes and volcanoes to SOAR next year as Earth’s rotation slows
MASSIVE earthquakes and raging volcanoes which could kill off life on the planet are expected in 2018 as the earth’s molten core puts the brakes on the planet’s rotation.

The planet is entering a five-year period of slow-down where the movement of the molten iron core slows the Earth’s spin.
But the slowdown reduces the centrifugal force and shrinks and tightens the equator, crushing tectonic plates together with unimaginable force.
Anyone living on the planet’s major fault lines – which run though western USA, southern Europe, the Middle East, South America and the so-called Ring of Fire in the Far East – is in serious danger, experts warn.
In the ‘slow-spin’ years, like 2018, the number of major earthquakes more than doubles.
On average the planet sees about 15 major quakes per year, however next year as many as 35 quakes higher than magnitude 7 are predicted.
A magnitude 7 earthquake is formally described as “causing damage to most buildings, some to partially or completely collapse or receive severe damage. Well-designed structures are likely to receive damage. Felt across great distances with major damage mostly limited to 250 km from epicenter.”
A magnitude 9 quake would level every building for hundreds of miles.
But movement of tectonic plates also triggers volcanoes – or supervolanoes. And supervolcanoes have been known to devastate life on Earth.
