For a moment, let's think of a scale between 1-10, with liquid magma being 1, and nuclear fission being 10. I suppose an inferno would be around 8, and boiling water would be like a 3. What would you describe as number 5? a corrosive acid? and extremely hot gas? This is all hypothetical.

Consider that we are on a rock floating in space. Consider that the land beneath our very feet is composed of lava ejected from the earth's core by volcanoes all around the globe. Every rock, every pile of dirt, every canyon, every mountain.

We are so incredibly fragile. One hiccup and we all die in an instant.
