Another example, this time an external cause that naturally happens has to do with additional heat. Just like a natural disaster such as an earthquake, it's unavoidable to prevent a volcanic eruption. Sometimes it's even difficult for scientists to predict an occurrence such as this. If it’s not yet convincing enough, think about the sun. Have you ever visited it? No? I’m not surprised, nobody has.
