I honestly dont know
So basically there are Some super volcanoes around the world ( Yellowstone Caldera, Long Valley Caldera , Valles Caldera , Lake Toba, Taupo Caldera , And Aira Caldera. ) And that got me thinking , What would you do if One of them Erupts (BTW all these volcanoes are rankes VEI 8 = Apocalyptic so basically no matter where You are You might die due to ash or something). I would probably Go to the moon with my friends , school , WHOLE family , and animals , food , and other things , so we can start our new civilization there.

I highly doubt anywhere is stable enough to send people to the moon to live.
Were one of these to erupt I'd probably kick back with sunglasses and lemonade and watch everything burn down.
You also forgot to put meteor crashes into your apocalypse list.
 
I would accept my death and be happy (COME ALOOONG IF YOU KNOWWWW WHAT HAPPINESS IS TO YOUUUUUU)

I don't wanna die yet.
We could create a dense artificial layer of gases on the moon and import clean air into the artificial atmosphere, then dwell on the moon.
Or create a super-rocket and fly to Mars and create an artificial atmosphere there, and use them con trail planes to control the temperature but also filter what we are putting into the air because there are toxins and metals in trails.
Mars would take longer to get there, but shorter to create the atmosphere. A con would be the temperature, though the moon most likely is cold aswell.
To prevent their eruptions beforehand is impossible probably.
I'm scared now.
 
Everything's gonna get cold so im gonna go closer to the volcano


Oh wait i need to elaborate on that

Basically the ash and everything the eruption would make will cover most of the planet, blocking sunlight and having a similar effect to that whole dinosaur meteor thing. So everything is going to get significantly colder around the world and so it would probably be good to move to some place warmer. There'd also be the whole plants dying because of no sun, air being bad- im giving myself a headache

It's called a nuclear winter. xD

It'd be very unlikely to get to a safe place on the moon. For one, you need a way to get the animals to survive, as well as how to feed them and yourselves. The moon's surface is incompatible for planting any sort of food, so we would have to somehow get enough dirt to the moon to create a large amount of space for farming, as well as somehow managing with the gravity to make living there work. Then you'd still have the issue of growing the plants, as we'd have to have some sort of light to help the plants glow. The major issue, as well, would be oxygen. We cannot live without oxygen, and we cannot grow plants on the moon without oxygen either. If a super volcano suddenly erupts, and people do somehow make it to the moon, land, and try and settle, it would most likely be a failure as it wouldn't be compatible enough with the sudden colonization of the moon's surface.

If a super volcano did happen to erupt, which is, fortunately, extremely unlikely to happen, you would have to just quickly get away from the radius of the ash from the volcano (If the Yellowstone volcano erupted, your aim would be to head extremely south towards Mexico and South America, as the ash would disrupt electronics and air travel by making it impossible to see, or towards the east for a better chance of going away from the US, as the ash would essentially hit every state. The ash, however, most likely won't make its way over the entire world, so it's better to get away from the US and head towards another country.

Like Killerzombie said, the ash would most likely make things extremely cold, however going towards the volcano is not a good idea. The ash will basically be covering everything the closer you get to it, as well as the lava that the super volcano would send out and making things extremely worse.

Fortunately, the chances of a super volcano exploding is extremely, extremely rare and unlikely to happen. It's like expecting a large asteroid to come and strike the earth; it's unlikely to happen, so preparations for smaller things [in this case, smaller volcano eruptions] would be more ideal to focus on.

Absol's the name, and overthinking things is the game.
 
I would accept my death. If there was no way of getting out of there I would walk into the Ash and lava. Also I would get to see some old family members and I would get to see my lord and his son.

That's right, buddy!
jesus christ lava would be the last way i'd want to die

dont take the idea out of context
I've heard that you'd basically explode instantly if you touched lava, resulting in a relatively painless death. However, obviously, I've never experienced this.

wait what
