Earth's largest super volcano, Yellowstone Park Volcano, what kind of disaster will it cause once it erupts?

Crimson magma like blood flowed out of the crater, billowing black smoke after another, rumbling loud noises, splashing large and small stones, these are all scenes of volcanic eruptions.

You may have seen such scenes in movies, but do you all know how deterrent volcanic eruptions are in reality?

We have to start with its geographical location. The geographical location of Yellowstone Volcano is located in Yellowstone Park in the United States. It is very spectacular. It is the largest super volcano in the world and was once the location of many Hollywood blockbusters.

Don't simply be attracted by its appearance and ignore its deterrent power.

In this way, you may not be able to imagine how terrifying the Yellowstone volcano is. Some scientists once called it the largest powder keg on the earth. When watching sci-fi movies before, you will know that a powder keg can bring great harm. huge, even destructive.

Many people may say how could there be any devastating harm? Isn't everyone a little worried, this looks like a place with beautiful scenery, where is the active volcano erupting? Where does the fear come from?

Besides, there have been countless cases of volcanic eruptions, large and small, so far, and everyone has not been devastated, has it?

But it has to be said that the volcanoes in this area are really different from ordinary volcanoes. First of all, the Yellowstone super volcano does not have a significant mountain body like ordinary volcanoes.

This supervolcano is like a smooth great plain.

The answer that scientists have explored is that the formation of this situation is caused by the huge power of this one volcano, causing the ridges and intact craters to be shattered in previous volcanic eruptions.

It just left a large indentation on the surface, which is called a caldera, so when we stand next to this volcano, we can't see the protruding mountains on the ground, we can only see A vast expanse of endless plains.

Who would have thought that there is a magma reservoir with a diameter of about 70 kilometers and a thickness of 10 kilometers under this crater!

This huge magma is the key material for the hidden danger of flint. The closest distance between this huge magma reservoir and the surface is only eight kilometers. Eight kilometers is not a long distance, but at the same time, it has always been in in the process of continuous expansion.

In this way, some scientists have such an inference that once it breaks through the crust and erupts in the distant future, the harm is unimaginable, and human civilization may completely disappear.

Everyone will definitely question "how is it possible, don't alarmist here?" In fact, this is really not to scare the public. We can imagine the vast expanse of the earth, which may be just a thin outer layer of the earth.

Using an example in life to give you an analogy, if we compare the earth to an egg, the crust can only be counted as the egg shell of an egg.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand how big a hidden danger we are facing. The crust of the earth is very fragile. Under the thin crust, there is a large sea of ​​scalding molten lava, which is on standby anytime and anywhere, and is constantly expanding.

If the conditions are ripe, the lava will immediately burst out of the crust, spewing out from the weakest part of the crust. This is what everyone calls a volcanic eruption.

After several studies, some scientists have found that if the Yellowstone volcano erupts again, a lot of material will spew out at that time. To what extent can it be achieved?

In order to let everyone understand more intuitively, we are going to talk about the most terrifying volcanic eruption that has ever happened in history - Mount Patara, the site of this volcanic eruption is located in Mount Patara, Indonesia. Fifty thousand people lost their lives as a result of this disaster.

Around the beginning of the nineteenth century, there was one of the most terrifying volcanic eruptions ever recorded in human history.

Relevant results show that it erupted in 1815. It released a great amount of terrible energy. The volcanic ash it ejected accompanied the flow of the atmosphere all over the world, and many places ushered in a small ice age. , even resulting in a whole year without summer in the following year.

Look how bad it can be, but even a volcanic eruption as powerful as this can't put out anything comparable to the Yellowstone supervolcano.

In such a comparison, how terrible is the Yellowstone super volcano, and its harm will be a destruction that we can't imagine. Although it is the same volcanic eruption, the Yellowstone supervolcano is different. Its eruption has a devastating impact on the world.

Scientists have also deduced its eruption, and it is conceivable that once it erupts, it will shroud some people in the deadly threat of volcanic ash.

Not only that, he will also have an impact on the global temperature, after which the average temperature of the entire earth will drop by ten degrees Celsius, and the duration may be six to ten years, and it will continue in this state.

It can be said that the earth has entered a volcanic winter. It is also said that after the eruption of the volcano in Yellowstone Park in the United States, because it is located in the United States, it will do the most damage to the United States, and will cause a devastating blow to more than 70% of the population on this land of the United States.

Next, the dramatic drop in temperature caused by the influence of volcanoes on a global scale will also lead to the complete extinction of some species on Earth.

Needless to say, after the eruption of this super volcano in Yellowstone Park, it can destroy half of the United States. Not surprisingly, this will also be a disaster for all mankind.

You must be terrified when you hear this. What should you do? It's so terrifying? Don't worry, it is very fortunate that it is still the largest extinct volcano in the world so far, and the hanging heart is a little comforted.

You must be worried or even curious, will this Yellowstone volcano in the United States really erupt? It has to be said that the potential threat of the supervolcano in Yellowstone Park in the United States is indeed great.

Scientists have experienced that in 2014, the threat reached its peak. At that time, the largest extinct volcano in the world had been emitting heat continuously, and this discovery caused panic among the American people.

At that time, everyone believed that the supervolcano eruption could not be prevented by human efforts alone, so it was always just fear and worry.

And now, in 2022, due to the advancement of science and technology, people have found that this statement is wrong. But the threat of this extinct volcano has not disappeared.

Because in the past few years, the Yellowstone volcano has not been safe, and the area where the Yellowstone super volcano is located will erupt a small volcanic activity every once in a while, large and small volcanic activities terrify people every day.

Based on this law, people are very afraid that one day there will be a huge explosion. So it is really a very lucky thing that this super volcano did not erupt.

But that's not to say it never erupts and is forever an extinct volcano. But there is no need to panic too much?

Today, our science and technology in all aspects have been greatly improved, and scientists have not stopped observing and testing it. They have been looking for the best solution when it is ready to go.

If the Yellowstone supervolcano does erupt, it will find special signs of its eruption in the decades when it is ready to explode, so as to find a symptomatic response.
