Will the 'Yellowstone Volcano' come back to life? The whole world is worried, if there is an outbreak, can humans survive?

In the Yellowstone Park in the United States, there is the largest active volcano in the world, and there are many small volcanoes here. Under this seemingly beautiful park, it is composed of countless volcanoes and volcanic lakes.

According to official data from the U.S. Geological Survey, since February 8, more than 200 detectable earthquakes have hit Yellowstone. During the supervolcano period, there were countless weak tremors that could not be recorded by detectors. The shallow magma chamber is even more chilling. Its volume is equivalent to 1150 times that of the Three Gorges, and it is known as the "largest gunpowder barrel".

Near the Yellowstone crater, about 1,500 to 2,000 earthquakes occur every year, and more than half of them erupt at high frequency in the form of earthquake swarms. The largest record of the ground battle group monitored this time was 2.9 on the Richter scale. Last June, the Yellowstone super volcano experienced an epic battle group. In just 90 days, 2,357 earthquakes were detected, and the highest magnitude was 2.9 on the Richter scale. Level 4.4, breaking the previous highest record.

The Yellowstone volcano has been active for millions of years. The third super eruption was 620,000 years ago. The three super eruptions had a huge impact on the landform here, and of course formed a very beautiful spectacle. .

Under the surface of the Yellowstone volcano, there are tens of thousands of cubic kilometers of magma reserves, which are about hundreds of millions of trillion tons of magma. This is simply an astronomical figure. Once the hot temperature erupts and the speed is fast, it may quickly destroy half of the United States. Devour them all.

The largest volcanic eruption recorded by humans was in 1815 at Mount Tambora. At that time, there was only 150 cubic kilometers of magma, but it caused more than 90,000 direct or indirect deaths. The most serious and most terrifying thing was the volcanic ash. The local summer is absent.

Compared with the Yellowstone volcano, the magma of the Tambora volcano is simply a drop in the bucket. If the Yellowstone volcano really erupts, the consequences will be disastrous.

According to NASA speculation, the consequences of the Yellowstone volcanic eruption are more serious than the devastating asteroid hitting the earth, especially after the eruption, the powerful volcanic ash is very likely to suffocate the earth, causing the earth to enter a new round of ice age.

In fact, volcanic eruptions are not only caused by the hot temperature of volcanic magma. The most serious and destructive thing is volcanic ash. The huge volcanic ash will cover the entire sky of America.

The volcanic ash shrouded in space will block the sunlight, which will cause the temperature of the earth to drop, the vegetation on the earth will die due to lack of sunlight, and the reduction of a large number of crops may also lead to ecosystem disorders.

Yellowstone Park was formed during volcanic eruptions. Since 2.1 million years ago, there have been many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the Yellowstone area, with periodic eruptions about every 600,000 years, and now it has entered an eruption cycle.

According to geologists' calculations, the Yellowstone super volcano has been issued in history, the earliest was 16.5 million years ago, and the last was 630,000 years ago. British experts predict that the solar activity has become more and more intense in recent years, and the Yellowstone super volcano seems to be coming soon. erupted.

Of course, we don’t have to worry too much. After all, the current technology is completely different from before. We can make budgets and plans early.

If humans migrated earlier before the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, it may be possible to reduce casualties and property losses to a greater extent. Of course, we do not know the impact on the environment after the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, but the so-called natural selection, Survival of the fittest, I believe that human beings will definitely change with the environment.
