The Yellowstone supervolcano, known as a "natural nuclear bomb", has entered an active period, and the magma under the crust is putting huge pressure on the surface. After research by the US Geological Service, a set of data was given. The data shows that: from 2021 to the present, The number of earthquakes around the Yellowstone supervolcano is as high as 2,773, compared with 1,722 in 2020, which is more than 1,000 more.

In addition, the number of volcanic activities monitored has also increased by 30% compared with previous years. The surface around the Yellowstone Volcano is undergoing various degrees of "catastrophes". These signals are all warning humans that the world's most terrifying volcano is about to erupt. However, the Yellowstone super volcano is completely What are the consequences of an eruption? Should China accept American refugees?

Yellowstone volcano eruption, the first time the United States "destroyed the country"

Before talking about these issues, let's first understand the lower Yellowstone super volcano. Yellowstone volcano is located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. It is famous for its violent geological activities. In Yellowstone Volcano Park, almost any volcanic landform can be seen. Therefore, except for In addition to tourism, Yellowstone Volcanic Park is also a designated research area of ​​the US Geological Research Center.

The magma data collected in the Yellowstone Volcanic Park can provide important volcanic eruption warnings for countries around the world. Of course, all of this must be shared by Laomei. It is understood that the underground of Yellowstone Volcanic Park contains a large amount of silica, which can solidify a large amount of explosive gas inside the magma. In other words, Yellowstone volcanic eruption is different from ordinary volcanic eruptions. Ordinary volcanic eruptions are magma. , while the Yellowstone volcano erupted with explosives.

Yellowstone volcano erupted with 'dynamite'

It can be said that the Yellowstone Volcano is the most destructive "super volcano" growing in the heart of the United States. The question of when it will erupt haunts the United States like a nightmare. After all, in the face of such a large-scale super volcano, no matter how advanced the United States' technology is, All will be completely erased by this super volcano, so the question is, has the Yellowstone volcano ever erupted? How did people do it at the time?

Geologists estimate that in the past few hundred years, there have been hundreds of eruptions of different scales in the Yellowstone Volcano, the earliest one was 1650 years ago, and the last one was 630,000 years ago. In January, scientists predicted that the Yellowstone volcano would re-enter the active period, because the solar activity has become more and more intense in recent years, and the magma has become more active due to the influence of temperature. This statement is not empty.

historical eruption time

Since 1923, the elevation of some areas around Yellowstone Park has risen by 70 cm, which shows that there is huge pressure under the surface, and the Yellowstone Volcano is the release point of the pressure. The simulation data shows that the power of a complete eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano is the highest in the United States. It is 1,000 to 3,000 times larger than the Hailun Volcano. It is worth mentioning that the Yellowstone Volcano erupted once 2 million years ago, and the volcanic material from that eruption even fell in Fujian Province, China.

For this reason, experts even gave an interesting example. If the volcanic material erupted from Mount Fuji in Japan is a bean, then the material erupted from the Yellowstone volcano is three football fields. The two are not on the same order of magnitude, and the geological Experts believe that a complete eruption of the Yellowstone volcano is powerful enough to wipe out 90% of life on Earth. In contrast, do you suddenly feel that the eruption of Mount Fuji in Japan is pediatric? So the question is, what are the consequences of the Yellowstone volcanic eruption? And should China accept American refugees?

What happens when a Yellowstone volcano erupts?

After the on-site survey, geologists believed that if the Yellowstone volcano erupted, more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of magma would be released in an instant. Maybe the officers in front of the screen have no idea about this value. In other words, 1,000 cubic kilometers Meters of magma are seven times the volume of the largest volcanic eruption in human history. You must know that 150 cubic kilometers of magma can engulf several cities. The consequences of 1,000 cubic kilometers of magma are unimaginable.

If all this really happens, the entire North America will be ignited by the super-high temperature magma and turned into a sea of ​​fire, the high-rise buildings in the city will be engulfed and collapsed by the magma, the rivers will be evaporated, the birds in the sky will be burned to death by the high temperature and fall down, a hellish scene Doomsday, and seriously, the ensuing volcanic ash will completely change the Earth's climate, as a large amount of volcanic ash and toxic substances enter the atmosphere, the sun's exposure will gradually decrease, causing the Earth's temperature to plummet, and may even lead to a new The arrival of the "Ice Age".

Humanity may be completely extinct

But we humans may not need to worry so much, because before the arrival of the "Ice Age", the toxic substances carried by volcanic ash have polluted the air, and crops have also been destroyed by acid rain. As for whether China should accept American refugees, it is even more so. No way to start.

Because within a few months of Yellowstone's eruption, there were very few humans left. And due to the particularity of the Yellowstone supervolcano, once it erupts, it will be a disaster for all mankind. In the face of a natural disaster that is enough to wipe out human beings, all we can do is to go hand in hand to overcome the difficulties.
