North Korea's nuclear testing isn't just a possible danger for nearby countries and the Western world — it could also trigger a volcanic eruption from nearby Mount Baekdu. At least according to South Korean seismologists.
朝鲜核试验不仅对临近国家和西方世界造成可能的危险，也可能引发附近长白山火山爆发。据韩国地震学家报道。
The scientists studied the "dynamic stress changes" caused by hypothetical underground nuclear tests. A report in Nature says, "An underground nuclear explosion test near an active volcano constitutes a direct threat to the volcano."
科学家们研究了由假设地下核试验引起的“动态应力变化”。自然杂志的一份报告称，“活跃火山附近的地下核爆炸试验对火山构成直接威胁。”
According to the research team, the volcano last erupted in 1903. A previous eruption was one of "largest explosive events in human history."
根据研究小组发现，这座火山在1903年爆发了。先前的一次喷发是“人类历史上最大的爆炸事件之一。”
North Korea refuses to stop its nuclear program and has conducted multiple underground nuclear tests in recent years, the most recent of which was in January and was immediately condemned by Western nations.
朝鲜拒绝停止其核计划，并在最近几年进行了多次地下核试验，最近的一次是在一月，立即被西方国家谴责。
But according to RT, this isn't the first warning from seismologists of volcanic fallout from North Korean nuclear testing. In 2013, a geologist said, "A nuclear test will probably exert a direct or indirect impact on volcanic activity at the mountain, and this is worrisome.”
但根据RT，这不是地震学家对朝鲜核试验的首次警告。早在2013年，一位地质学家表示，“核试验可能会直接或间接对山体火山活动造成影响，这是令人担忧的。”
