The whole world is worried about the resurrection of the 'Yellowstone Volcano'. If it really erupts, can humans survive?

Over time, in order to better adapt to the development of society, people have invented many machines that can benefit mankind. Among them, the volcano detector is a very great invention. There are many volcanoes all over the world, and once these volcanoes erupt, the harm they will bring is very great. Therefore, in order to keep the achievements of human development from being destroyed, some detectors have been invented to detect these volcanoes. Once these volcanoes show different phenomena, we humans can take precautions in advance and minimize the losses.

I believe that everyone has heard of the existence of volcanoes, so I wonder if you have heard of super volcanoes . As soon as you hear the word "super", everyone should have guessed that the eruption area and destructiveness of super volcanoes are much larger than ordinary volcanoes. The grade of volcanoes is judged according to their power. The reason why volcanoes are formed is that there is a large amount of magma in the underground caves. This will cause a huge collapse. Volcanoes are super volcanoes because they have had a super eruption at some point in the past, with a minimum eruption index of about eight, and also produced hundreds or even a thousand cubic miles of sediment. . Therefore, these volcanoes are called "super volcanoes"

So let's talk about the largest super volcano in the world today, that is, the Yellowstone super volcano. It is the "boss" of super volcanoes, and its strength should not be underestimated. It is located in Yellowstone National Park in the United States and occupies most of northwest Wyoming. First of all, in terms of appearance alone, it covers an area of ​​nearly 8,000 square kilometers. The length and width of its crater are 72.4 kilometers and 54.7 kilometers respectively, which is even larger than the area of ​​some countries in the world. According to relevant information, there is a lot of silica under the Yellowstone volcano, and these silica condense a lot of explosive gases. Such an arrangement is very easy to cause volcanic eruptions. So what would happen if the Yellowstone volcano erupted?

Because the damage caused by the eruption of Yellowstone volcano is impossible to estimate, many scientists have carried out many simulations for the eruption of Yellowstone volcano. Once the Yellowstone volcano is awakened, more than half of the land in the United States will be affected, not only that, but its scope will reach Europe and even Asia. And after the volcanic eruption, the temperature on the earth will drop rapidly, some scientists estimate that the average temperature of the earth will drop by about 10 ℃. The earth will directly enter an ice age of 6 to 10 years. A large amount of volcanic ash will block the sunlight from reaching the surface of the earth. Then, a large number of animals and plants will directly lose their sources of survival, the food chain will completely collapse, the entire ecosystem will be devastated, and the earth will usher in an unprecedented big Collapse, then, where should mankind go?

Is there any way to prevent the volcano from erupting again? According to the development of modern technology, the best response is to conduct more accurate monitoring of volcanoes, prepare preventive drills and disaster prevention facilities around volcanoes. And minimize human and animal habitation around it. Do our best to reduce the harm caused by natural disasters.
