In America, the world’s most powerful country, a catastrophic volcano is erupting under the ground. Located in the US state of Wyoming, the name of this volcano is Yellowstone Volcano. 

Researchers say that if the Super Volcano at Yellow Stone explodes, 90 thousand people will die immediately. He said that even though this volcano looks very beautiful, but if it explodes then it can bring the most terrible destruction in the history of man. A cloud filled with such a thick ash will rise from this great explosion that the whole earth will be covered by it.

Let’s Know The Full Story Of Yellowstone Volcano, Which Brought Destruction:

• Yellowstone volcano has been sleeping for 6 million years.

It, located in the state of Wyoming, and has been quiet for the past 6 million years, but scientists are afraid that this sleeping ‘monster’ could wake up at any time and bring destruction. He said that if the Yellowstone volcano explodes, there will be chaos all over the world. 

According to the British newspaper Daily Express, scientists said that pressure has been building under the Yellowstone volcano for millions of years. He said that if the heat continues to rise under the volcano, the volcano will begin to boil and the rocks will begin to melt under the ground. 

If heat continues to rise from the Earth’s core, it will form a mixture of magma, rock, steam, carbon dioxide and other gases. After this a cloud will form inside the ground and the ground will rise, which will also be visible. It looks like it is going to explode.

• ‘Holocaust’ Will Come If Yellowstone Volcano Erupts

Scientists say that if the Yellow Stone Volcano explodes, then ‘catastrophe’ will come and 90 thousand people will be killed immediately. He said that the death of 90 thousand people would be just the beginning. Then the storm of destruction will come. 

A three-meter layer of magma will spread over the entire earth in an area of ​​1600 km from this great eruption. This would mean that the rescuers would also have to struggle to reach the site of the blast. This will put the lives of more people in danger. Not only this, the ash emanating from the volcano will block all the ways to enter from the ground. 

The entire atmosphere would be filled with ash and gas and the plane would not be able to take off. This would be similar to what happened in Iceland during a small volcanic eruption in 2010.

• ‘Nuclear Cold’ Will Come On Earth Due To Great Explosion

After the eruption of Yellowstone volcano, there will be a ‘nuclear cold’ on Earth. Nuclear freezing is the condition when a lot of ash and debris reaches the Earth’s atmosphere. This will change the climate of the Earth because the eruption of the volcano will bring sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere on a very large scale. 

This will produce a sulfur aerosol and it will reflect the sunlight and swallow it inside itself. As a result, the temperature on Earth will drop drastically. This will not increase crops and will eventually lead to mass starvation worldwide. Scientists said that the good thing is that the probability of eruption of Yellowstone volcano is very less and practically not possible.

• What happened to the Yellowstone Supervolcano?

Under northwestern Wyoming and southeastern Montana lies a powerful and violent threat that has changed the landscape several times over the past several million years. This Supervolcano at Yellowstone and the resulting geysers, bubbling mud pots, hot springs, and evidence of long-standing volcanism make Yellowstone National Park a fascinating geologic wonderland.

The region’s official name is “Yellowstone Caldera”, and it extends for about 72 kilometers (35 to 44 mi) in the Rocky Mountains. The caldera has been geologically active for 2.1 million years, periodically sending lava and clouds of gas and dust into the atmosphere, and reshaping the landscape for hundreds of kilometers.

Yellowstone Caldera is one of the largest such calderas in the world. The caldera, its Supervolcano, and underlying magma chamber help geologists understand volcanism, and are a prime location to study for the first time the effects of hot-spot geology on Earth’s surface.

• History and Migration of the Yellowstone Caldera

The Yellowstone caldera is actually a “vent” for a large plume of hot material that extends hundreds of kilometers down through the Earth’s crust. This plume has persisted for at least 18 million years and is a region where molten rock from Earth’s mantle reaches the surface. 

The plume remains relatively stable as it passes over the North American continent. Geologists track a series of calderas formed by the plume. These calderas run from east to northeast and follow the movement of the plate to the southwest. Yellowstone Park is located right in the middle of the modern caldera.

The caldera experienced a “super-eruption” between 2.1 and 1.3 million years ago, and again around 630,000 years ago. Super-eruptions are massive, spreading clouds of ash and rock across thousands of square kilometers of the landscape. Compared to those, the small eruptions and hot-spot activity Yellowstone exhibits today are relatively minor.

• Yellowstone Caldera Magma Chamber

The plume feeding the Yellowstone caldera runs through a magma chamber about 80 kilometers (47 mi) long and 20 km (12 mi) wide. It is filled with molten rock, which, at the moment, lies well below the Earth’s surface, although from time to time, the movement of lava inside the chamber triggers earthquakes.

The heat from the plume causes geysers (which shoot superheated water into the air from underground), hot springs, and mud pots scattered throughout the region. The heat and pressure from the magma chamber is gradually increasing the height of the Yellowstone Plateau, which has been increasing rapidly in recent times. So far, however, there is no indication that a volcanic eruption is about to occur.

Of greater concern to scientists studying the region is the risk of hydrothermal explosions among major super-eruptions. These outbursts occur when underground systems of superheated water are disturbed by earthquakes. Even over a great distance earthquakes can affect the magma chamber.

• Will Yellowstone Explode Again?

Sensational stories pop up every few years that Yellowstone is about to fly again. Based on detailed observations of locally occurring earthquakes, geologists are sure it will erupt again, but probably not anytime soon. 

The region has been largely dormant for the past 70,000 years and the best guess is that it will remain quiet for thousands more. But make no mistake about it, a Yellowstone super-eruption will happen again, and when it does, it will be a horrific mess.

• What Happens During A Super-Explosion?

Within the park, lava flows are expected from one or more volcanic sites, but of greater concern is the erupting of ash clouds. The wind would blow ash over a distance of 800 kilometers (497 mi), eventually blanketing the mid-section of the US with layers of ash and ravaging the country’s central breadbasket region. Other states will see a dusting of ash, depending on their proximity to the eruption.

While it is unlikely that all life on Earth will be destroyed, it will certainly be affected by ash clouds and the massive release of greenhouse gases. On a planet where the climate is already rapidly changing, an additional discharge would likely alter growing patterns, shorten growing seasons, and lead to fewer sources of food for Earth life.

The US Geological Survey keeps a close watch on the Yellowstone Caldera. Earthquakes, minor hydrothermal events, even minor changes in the eruptions of Old Faith (Yellowstone’s famous geysers) provide clues to changes deep underground. If magma begins to move in ways that indicate an eruption, Yellowstone Volcano Observatory will be the first to alert the population.
