Odd question alert ❗️❗️🚨
Like the title said, this is a very odd and specific question. But I’ve no where else to turn besides Reddit. Hopefully my autism isn’t showing that badly 😭
I’m world-building with my warrior cats fanclans, but know next to nothing about geology or volcanoes in general. And all the characters are cats, so you cant exactly search google for this information.
One of my plot points features a clan getting wiped out by ash from a neighboring volcano Pompeii style.
In theory,
How big would this volcano have to be, and how far away? The volcano should be close enough to warm sunclan’s territory in the winter months, but far enough not to destroy the other clans.
From what I’ve heard, Housecats can travel 3-5 miles a day, so let’s say that is roughly the distance between Sunclan and the other clans.
Would it be possible for the winds to direct the ash and soot onto mainly Sunclan.
How would their demise play out realistically? Again, I only briefly looked into the Pompeii volcano, so I know next to nothing about volcanos.
Finally, Is this even possible? If not what can I change to make it possible?
