What would happen if Earth temp jumped 100 degrees?
but only for a few seconds?

answers:
ngc7331 say: all the religious nuts would start crying about how the sky was falling, and that they'd predicted it despite all of the government's attempt to keep it quiet.
-
Mike G say: Since that could never happen, what is the point of your question?
-
say: It happens with every solar flare. We don't notice much. Depends how close the actual flare happens. Few seconds don't bother humans.

Ronald 7 say: We would all get Laid

busterwasmycat say: What does that actually mean? I don't see how that could possibly happen, and thus I can't actually consider what the effects would be. Any pulse of energy that could do such a thing would most certainly kill pretty well all life. But every single thing that is and of the earth will respond differently to such an energy pulse so no such uniform change is possible.

Adullah M say: You do not feel it due the transferring of the heat in to our body is so short. Heat lost = Hear gain..
-
John P say: Even if you are talking about Fahrenheit degrees, life on Earth as we know it today would cease to exist. If you are asking about Celsius (Centigrade) degrees the change would be even quicker.

Nikki say: interesting new study of the sahara desert in north africa, says that an ice age occurs every 100,ooo-years; however, they have found a cycle of wet-&-dry season existing every 20,000-years. if we flash burn the earth for even 1-second, about 75% of all plant life will die, as will soil bacteria, insects, birds, people, and others not shielded from radiation.
the atmosphere protects us, as much solar radiation is defected by shiny surfaces like the ocean, the clouds, the pavement, snow and ice, and the magnetosphere of the earth.

Zardoz say: If you add it and subtract it from the same systems practically nothing. A tornado might form that wouldn't have otherwise and a tornado that would have formed might fail. It would knock over pencils balanced on their tips that would have fallen over any moment anyway. It's a giant butterfly in Argentina.

Acetek say: we would all die. pretty stupid question

Mr Atheist say: We all die Day After Tommrow senerio.

Brilliant "Skippy" Answer say: Great question. That's a lot of energy that you'd be adding into the system.
Consider for a moment what a single calorie is: the amount of energy it takes to raise a single mililitre of water (above 4 degrees C) by one degree.
Now to simplify it for a moment, imagine the Earth is entirely amde up of liquid water, so not iron core, continents anything like that. That would be 5.972 × 10^24 kg, so a five with 27 zeroes Kg, or 5 with 29 zeroes in mililitres of water.
Each of those 5 x 10^29 calories can be converted to Watts by adding a per second into the calculation, he amount of power equal to one joule of energy per second. Watt is the SI unit for power. 1 W = 1 J/s = 1 N*M/s = 1 kg^2 m2/s3 resulting in about 4 times as many Watts - so round numbers 20 x10^27 per second. And for a few sconds lets say 5 seconds, 1 x10^28 Watts. Each gram of water takes 2250 J of energy to vaporize
So you can see that's aHuuge amount of energy. A house uses about a 1,000 watts a month, Hoover Dam a few Gigawatts, you're talking about 2000000000000000000000000000 Gigawatts
You can fool around with the math and look up the equations and conversions on your own, But raising earth a few degrees for even a few seconds is so much energy, it would be toast.

David say: There are some places on earth where the temperature is more than 100 Degrees. And people are living there. so I think people can bear this temperature.
Here are some hottest places on Earth:
1. Death Valley, United States - 134 degrees
2. Ghadames, Libya - 131 degrees
3. Kebili, Tunisia - 131 degrees
4. Timbuktu, Mali - 130.1 degrees
5. Tirat Tsvi, Israel - 129 degrees
