Think of a volcano, and you think of a soft lava flow in Hawaii, or a giant explosion on St. Helena. Think of a super volcano and you may come up short. The human race has never commanded the eruption of a super volcano on record, but they have happened in our history.
Toba erupted about 75,000 years ago and almost sent man into the recycling bin. Anthropologists believe that the population of Toba moved into a few thousand souls, or small town, and created it. the genetic bottleneck from which we descend.
The volcano makes it big. Bad news for us, it is active in National Park. In fact, the park itself is super volcano. Caldera Yellowstone caldera Yellowstone caldera< /a> was formed large when the magma chamber beneath the garden erupted, then collapsed into the void left behind, annihilating it. everything was close and covered a hundred miles.
Yellowstone has erupted many times in ancient history, and the largest known eruption two million years ago was the size of St. Helena six thousand times.
If Yellowstone erupts again, life in the United could end.
If this happens, we will not have to worry about pollution, terrorism, or healthcare. If that happens, most people don’t have much to worry about. The death of millions of Americans will be imminent, and the hard death of tens of thousands more from the failure of the hot ashes. Like Mt St. Helens but reaching all the way to the Mississippi River!
This is really scary because we don’t know when it will happen again, but it will.
Yellowstone, located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, sits in a cavern of molten rock and suffocated by hot vapors, five miles from the hot magma waiting to erupt from the underground pressure.
The park sits in a vast valley, which at first glance appears to be a natural oasis, but in reality is a depression left behind by multiple eruptions. The beauty of the trees and the diversity of the animals as a result of the fatal destruction that they did before. And one day point-park-time will receive incredibly what he gave.
Yellow appears to erupt with a caldera explosion every 800,000 years. The first recorded eruption occurred 2.1 million years ago, 1.3 million years ago, and the last only 640,000 years ago. If there is a trend, it points to more distant and significantly debilitating eruptions. The last eruption was smaller than the second, and it devoured the oldest comparison.
But even the smallest of these caldera-forming eruptions would be enough to set humans back thousands of years. If Yellowstone went away tomorrow, the lights would fade and send man into another dark age.
Expect billions of ash shavings to fall from some super-large Flavistone eruption. A strong tremor could trigger earthquakes hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. Flaviston, and the land near it, will be immediately destroyed, as much as the land directly around Mount St. Helena is extinguished. But instead of a thousand miles it will be a hundred miles.
A breath warms the fires with heat, And many forests are not touched by the first breath. The climate will be directly affected for decades as the sun is blocked by ash and cloud. The human age will experience a sudden and sharp ice, so that it will be difficult for the seeds to grow. It is difficult to predict what the degree and severity will be, but it is clear that the disaster is much greater than we have experienced.
Even though the caldera is not forming an eruption, slow moving lava flows (much like the ones in Hawaii) have often been recorded in the past. The most recent eruption of this type took place 70,000 years ago, at about the same time Toba erupted its peak. But thirty other lava flows through the Flaviston Caldera since the last great eruption. Quiet for 70,000 years, another flood may very well threaten, and although it will not harm humans, it may cause serious damage to the park itself, and destroy America’s largest wildlife refuge.
hold on! Good news…
Scientists don’t think Yellowstone will erupt in our lifetime. There are no apparent signs that an eruption is imminent. There are no frequent earthquakes, swellings, fissures, or minor eruptions that occur in other volcanoes. But the fact remains, no one ever leaves one of these things, and it’s quite different from any other volcanic eruption we’ve seen. Let it not be warned, or we have already been warned. As far as we know, Old Faithful was not so faithful two hundred years ago.
