I suspected pressure was too high, but how exactly high? Wouldn't a nuke blast essentially shut the vent with rocks? So there must be a threshold for how heavy that concrete slab should be. Also, what is '5 mile tall mud'? A column of mud 5 mile high (how wide, how dense) equivalent of pressure?
- ars 16y ago5,000 to 7,000 psi. At about twenty feet wide. If my calculations are right, you need about 30,000 metric tons of weight to stop it. And don't forget whatever you put down there will also float because of the water. So you need even more weight.
- Keyframe 16y agoThanks! That put it into a perspective for me. According to http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=titanic+weight http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=titanic+weight Titanic weight was 53,149 tons.
