Will 'Yellowstone Volcano' Come Back to Life? The whole world is worried, can humans survive if there is an outbreak?

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

According to official data from the U.S. Geological Survey, more than 200 detectable earthquakes have hit Yellowstone since February 8. During the supervolcano, there were countless weak tremors that could not be recorded by detectors. There are giant tremors hidden under Yellowstone Park. The shallow magma reservoir is even more chilling, with a volume equivalent to 1,150 times that of the Three Gorges, known as the "largest powder keg".

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

The Yellowstone Volcano has been active millions of years ago. The third super-explosion was 620,000 years ago. The three super-explosions had a huge impact on the landscape here, and of course formed a very beautiful spectacle. .

There are tens of thousands of cubic kilometers of magma reserves under the surface of the Yellowstone Volcano, which is about hundreds of millions of trillion tons of magma. This is simply an astronomical figure. Once the hot temperature and rapidity erupt, it may quickly cover half of the United States. All swallowed.

The largest volcanic eruption recorded by humans was in 1815, which occurred at Mount Tambora. At that time, there was only 150 cubic kilometers of magma, but it caused more than 90,000 people to die directly or indirectly. The most serious and 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, the consequences of the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano are more serious than that of a devastating asteroid hitting the earth. Especially after the eruption, the powerful volcanic ash is very likely to suffocate the earth and cause the earth to enter a new round of ice age.

In fact, volcanic eruptions are not only the hot temperature of volcanic magma, but the most destructive and most destructive thing is volcanic ash. The huge volcanic ash will cover the whole America.

The volcanic ash enveloped in space will block the sunlight, which will cause the temperature of the earth to drop, the vegetation on the earth will die because it is not exposed to sunlight, and the reduction of a large number of crops may also lead to ecosystem disorders.

Yellowstone National Park was formed in volcanic eruptions. Since 2.1 million years, there have been many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the Yellowstone area. Periodic eruptions occur about every 600,000 years, and now they have entered the eruption cycle.

According to geologists' calculations, the Yellowstone supervolcano 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 supervolcano seems to be coming soon. erupted.

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

If human beings 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, the impact on the environment after the eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano is unknown to us, but the so-called natural selection, Survival of the fittest, I believe that human beings will definitely change with the environment.
