IN Lately more and more people begin to believe that a catastrophe is approaching in the United States, or more precisely, the Yellowstone volcano is activated. In particular, all sorts of large-scale preparations testify to this. Yellowstone Volcano is one of the most probable causes catastrophe, and new information has recently become known.

Opinions differ

At some point, it turned out that forecasts regarding the magma reservoir under this supervolcano had been seriously underestimated for a long time. In particular, experts working at the University of Utah said that the size of the magma reservoir, where the Yellowstone volcano is located, is approximately twice the size of what was previously considered. At the same time, two years ago, scientists established exactly the same fact, that is, about ten years ago, everyone believed that magma there was four times less than now.

Public opinion

Many US residents believe that in fact their government is well aware of what threatens them with the Yellowstone volcano, but all the facts are hidden in order to avoid panic. At the same time, in refutation, scientists from Utah also guarantee that the most serious threat is not a volcanic eruption at all, but an earthquake that is too strong.

Why is that?

Geological data obtained by scientists indicate that in the National Park the first known eruption was two million years ago, the second - 1.3 million years ago, and the last earthquake occurred 630 thousand years ago. Thus, everything indicates that the volcano may begin an eruption in the near future, and not more than in 20 thousand years, as American experts often say. However, simulations using specialized computer technology sometimes show that the next catastrophe may occur around 2075.

How accurate is this?

The accuracy of these models depends directly on the regularity and complexity of the effects, as well as on various events. It is hard enough to believe that US scientists know exactly when this volcano will erupt, but given that it is one of the most famous places in the world, there is no doubt that it is being closely monitored.

How dangerous is it?

When the Yellowstone volcano explodes, the amount of ash is enough to cover the entire United States with a layer 15 cm thick. A huge amount of various gases will enter the atmosphere, the main part of which will be various sulfur compounds.

At the same time, it is worth noting that such a development of events would provoke a lot of tragic changes on earth. When the Yellowstone Volcano explodes, all sorts of blackouts and acid rains will begin, which will cause the extinction of a fairly large number of animals, plants and humanity itself. A situation like a nuclear winter can eventually lead to the fact that the average temperature on the planet will be about -25 ° C, after which it will be necessary to wait for the situation to normalize, since everything has stabilized after previous eruptions.

According to the British publication Focus, in other countries, governments understand the threat, as a result of which advanced specialists were sent to Yellowstone. At the same time, everyone should understand that humanity has no way to protect itself from this danger, and the only precautions will be the following: the creation of all kinds of shelters, as well as the collection of the maximum possible amount of water and food. As the camera aimed at the Yellowstone Volcano (webcam) shows, in the near future no emergencies are foreseen for sure.

Seismologists and volcanologists

Volcanologists who explored the Yellowstone volcano (June) determined that it has recently begun to show signs of activity again. In particular, this is evidenced by the fact that, in accordance with the readings of the devices, the rate of uplift of the soil near this “monster” has more than tripled over the past few years.

At the same time, seismologists, who also explored the Yellowstone Volcano (July), were somewhat incredulous about the results of their colleagues, and hurried with information that calms the population. According to them, there is no fear in order to be afraid of the next eruption, because in fact seismic activity not only did not increase in this area, but fell altogether. Thus, to date, the volcano is still quiet, but scientists are arguing with might and main about what will happen to it in the near future.

Is it true?

In fact, you need to understand that regardless of who will explore the Yellowstone volcano, these forecasts will be extremely inaccurate. The whole point is that the process of studying in the thickness of the mantle and earth's crust, on which the risk of awakening of volcanoes will directly depend, to this day is carried out exclusively with the help of specialized seismic equipment.

Ultra-sensitive devices process information and note even the smallest fluctuations, as a result of which scientists are already thinking about what the results mean. Thus, different specialists can interpret the data obtained during the operation of a seismograph in completely different ways.

Among other things, one should not forget that various geological events are predicted in the vast majority of cases based on a model of ongoing processes that is built by a computer, while the accuracy of such models is quite low, because even the most powerful computers are able to analyze the impact on a certain process of only two or three factors, while in fact there are several dozen, if not hundreds. In this regard, the truth about the Yellowstone volcano has not been disclosed to this day and, in principle, it cannot be reliably disclosed with the help of even the most modern equipment, since not a single computer is able to cope with such analyzes.

What do volcanologists say?

Nevertheless, it is worth at least listening to the opinion put forward by volcanologists. In the course of many years of measurements, it was determined that the giant volcanic caldera is rising quite quickly, and this speed has increased significantly since 2004. This information officially published in the journal Science, which at that time caused quite a serious panic among those people who are not very versed in this area.

It should be noted that the collection of information was quite detailed. In the process of ongoing research, scientists used GPS information, as well as radar measurements carried out by one of the specialized mapping satellites. According to the information received, the rate of uplift of the soil on this moment reaches 7 cm/g, which is almost three times higher than the average values.

In addition, with the help computer simulation The source of this perturbation, scientists can assume how much the area of ​​​​the base of the supervolcano will expand, which today is approximately 1200 km 2. Interestingly enough, this bottom section, located at a depth of 10 km, coincides with the magma cavity in the earth's crust. According to the calculations of American scientists, the volume of hot matter present at the base of the volcano also increases, and the rate of this process is approximately 0.1 km 2 /g. It should be noted that this is consistent with the calculations of the amount of magma that is necessary for the normal supply of heat to a troubled seismic area.

Based on the findings, the researchers hypothesize that driving force, which provokes the uplift of the earth's crust in this area, is the natural circulation of hot and cold layers of lava, but it should not be ruled out that in the near future the power of the hot magma flow, which feeds the volcanic zone, can increase. Such phenomena quite often indicate that the volcano may awaken in the near future.

What to do?

Volcanologists joke about this, saying that today, looking at the Yellowstone volcano (cameras), they feel like prisoners in a cage with a sleeping tiger, which is not dangerous, but at the slightest movement of which you already begin to tremble. At the same time, in this situation, they guess why these strange natural phenomena occur.

In particular, they believe that the uplift of the earth's crust has accelerated due to certain changes in the deep structure where hot magma rises, and this also often happens before a certain volcano awakens.

We just have to watch how the Yellowstone volcano behaves. The webcam is turned on, everyone can watch it.

For many centuries, mankind has been watching with interest and anxiety one of the most unusual and threatening creations of nature - volcanoes. There is a huge variety of them all over the planet, among which there are both dormant or extinct, and active specimens. For example, only in the USA there are about 100 volcanoes of varying degrees of activity, including the largest of them - Yellowstone.

Where is

Yellowstone is located in the northwestern part of North America in the states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. national park- an international nature reserve, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It was created in March 1872, is considered the very first national park, covers an area of ​​​​about 898.3 thousand hectares. It is here that the most dangerous volcano in America is located, which is simply enormous (about 72 km by 55 km), while occupying almost a third of the entire area of ​​​​the park.

Yellowstone (Yellowstone) caldera (Yellowstone Caldera) is an active volcanic system, included in the list of 20 supervolcanoes around the world. The power of the eruption of each of this list is capable of provoking dramatic climate changes on planet Earth.

Caldera is a large pit, which looks like a circus arena, has a volcanic origin, steep walls and a flat bottom. It is formed after the collapse of the walls of the crater during a giant ejection.

The territory of the system is located above the hot spot - the place where the movement of the hot liquid rock of the mantle occurs in the direction of the Earth's surface, this area is covered with a plateau. Observations of scientists show that the hot spot is moving to the eastern and northeastern part of the continent, and the entire North American plate is shifting towards the west and southwest.

How it works

In 1960-1970, while studying satellite images of the territory of the biosphere reserve, the ruins of the Yellowstone crater were noticed. Upon further research, experts found that under it there is a huge bubble of hot magma, and its depth is more than 8000 m. The temperature of the magma inside is 800 degrees Celsius, which allows you to heat thermal springs and release water vapor, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from under the earth's crust.

Here is the world's largest valley of geysers, one of the five largest around the globe.

The source of power for the volcanic system is a huge vertical plume, which is a stream of molten solid rock of the mantle with a temperature of about 1600 degrees Celsius.

The melting of part of the plume into magma in the upper layers closer to the earth's crust contributes to the formation of mud pots and geysers. The plume section is a 660 km long column with branches on the sides, which has a funnel-shaped extension at the top.

eruptions

Experts in the course of studying the activity of the largest volcano in the United States came to the unanimous opinion that there have already been 3 global eruptions that are striking in their scale and number of victims.

The ash that covers the entire surface of the earth after the explosion prevents the passage of the light of the Sun, as a result of which a period called "volcanic winter" begins.

First

After the eruption, which was about 2.1 million years ago, the Island Park caldera and the Hackleberry Ridge tuff formations arose. It is believed that it was so powerful that the fourth part of the American continent was covered with ash from the explosion, the height of the magma ejection reached the upper layers of the stratosphere (50 km above ground level), and the mountain ranges were torn apart.

Second

About 1.3 million years ago, Yellowstone ejected about 280 cubic kilometers of volcanic mixture, after which the large Henrys Fork caldera formed.

Third

It happened 640,000 years ago, experts believe that it was 2 times weaker than the first. The consequence of this catastrophe was the failure of the top of the crater and the formation of a caldera. This huge depression has a circumference of almost 150 km. The tuff terrain of Lava Creek was also formed.

The eruption of a supervolcano is considered the second global cataclysm in terms of power and damage, which is second only to the fall of an asteroid in terms of destruction.

earthquakes

Every year, earthquakes occur in the park, their number varies between 1000-2000 times, but they are so insignificant that visitors hardly notice them.

Despite the danger and threat of a blowout, thousands of tourists from all over the world come to this amazing place every year to admire the beauty and bright colors of nature, as there are simply incredible landscapes around.

New catastrophes and forecasts of seismologists

In the course of research, scientists have established the probability of new disasters in Yellowstone National Park - 0.00014% per year. The calculations were based on two time intervals between three large-scale emissions. However, specialists in geology and seismology unanimously assert that processes of this kind in modern world are not regular, and also not amenable to control, forecast and management. Nevertheless, every year various information appears in the network and periodicals that the supervolcano is waking up. A catastrophe that may occur in the near future is capable of delivering a powerful blow to the territory of North America, destroying life and changing the climate.

The most pessimistic forecast of experts suggests that during the subsequent eruption of Yellowstone, a release of magma in a volume equal to 1000 cubic kilometers is possible. Such a powerful burning avalanche can destroy life at a distance of 1600 km from the center of the disaster, covering a significant part of the country (2/3) with a layer of volcanic ash of 3 m.

Director Roland Emmerich in November 2009 presented the world with a fantastic film "2012", which shows the colossal destruction caused by the Yellowstone eruption.

Yellowstone Volcano 2019 - the first major magma ejection that occurred a few days ago, indicates that the eruption is beginning. The latest news for today and the opinions of NOD experts eloquently indicate that over 70% of cities on the US map can be destroyed.

NASA warns of a terrible disaster: details

NASA specialists will try to prevent a catastrophe that could kill people, writes RBC Ukraine.

NASA has issued a warning that eternal winter could come on our planet as a result of the eruption of a giant volcano located in Yellowstone National Park, USA. It is reported by the BBC.

Beneath Yellowstone National Park is a huge magma reservoir that gives it bubbling geysers and hot pools, and it is this reservoir that is capable of destroying humanity.

Approximately every 100,000 years, somewhere in the world, a supervolcano explodes, the consequences of which can be fatal. If a volcanic eruption occurs under Yellowstone National Park, it will lead to worldwide famine and volcanic winter (cooling of the lower atmosphere).

yellowstone national park

NASA researchers are considering the possibility of cooling the volcano with water. The hotter the volcano, the more gases it produces. The magma continues to melt and the area above the magma chamber rises - and when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, an explosion is inevitable. Therefore, the logical solution would be to cool the supervolcano.

It takes a lot to cool a volcano a large number of water, which, theoretically, will have to be supplied to the volcano, but the implementation of such a project is practically impossible.

"Building a large water pipeline in a mountainous region would be costly and difficult, and people don't want their water to be wasted that way," Brian Wilcox of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory told the BBC.

Eruption

But NASA has alternative solution: drill a supervolcano at a depth of 10 kilometers and pump out water under high pressure. This will slowly lower the temperature day by day.

First of all, it is important to drill a little towards the side of the volcano and not directly at the tip of the magma reservoir, because drilling there can even speed up the volcanic eruption. The cost of this project is estimated at 3.46 billion dollars.

Supervolcano Yellowstone, which is located in US state Wyoming is beginning to show activity, this process is followed with concern by scientists - seismologists and volcanologists. The explosion of this giant could destroy the entire North American continent and bring the world to the brink of extinction.

According to the source, a new sign of the imminent awakening of Yellowstone was recently recorded - a new anomaly appeared next to it - a thermal zone, which tends to increase. A sign of the emergence of a new anomaly was the mass death of trees growing there. The reason was the strong heating of the soil. To understand what was happening, the experts used satellite imagery, and then compared the results with those of the 90s. Scientists were shocked - a giant geothermal zone was discovered in the Yellowstone area, which did not exist before.

Scientists from NASA have reported that the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano will lead to the death of mankind, writes the Daily Star.

NASA conducted a study in which the consequences for the Earth of various disasters were studied. It turned out that the activation of the Yellowstone volcano is much more dangerous than the fall of a large meteorite on our planet, the probability of which is much less.

Scientists note that the Yellowstone volcano belongs to supervolcanoes and, during an eruption, can release up to 1,000 cubic meters of material into the atmosphere. The researchers say that the awakening of the supervolcano will cause on the planet abnormal winter which humanity cannot survive.

1st of May. Walkways in Yellowstone Park have reached record temperatures. A group of tourists from Taiwan melted their flip-flops.

20 April. A new thermal zone has been discovered near Lake West Tern. It is formed due to the approach of the magmatic layer to the surface of the earth. Near the thermal zone, the forest began to die.

2 April. The Pentagon is buying gas masks in bulk. The amount is shocking - almost $ 250 million, but in fact this is very small, and not enough for the entire population of the United States. Gas and volcanic dust protection kits will only be available to 2.5 million people.

March 16th. American Mormons fleeing the Yellowstone volcano were detained in the Kuban. They are deported back.

28th of February. Experts from the US Geological Survey USGS noted high volcanic activity in neighboring California. According to their data, the probability of an eruption of the Long Valley supervolcano, Shasta volcano and Lassen volcano is 16%. In turn, activity can provoke the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, which is located in the zone of influence of the North American lithospheric plate.

February, 15. Desman corpses began to be found in the Yellowstone River. Biologists believe that this is a consequence of an increase in the sulfur content of the water and its temperature due to volcanic activity.

February 4th. Scientists have recorded a partial release of magma from the bottom of the volcano. The rise of the soil and the increase in the temperature of the magma chamber also worries experts.

Jan. 7. NASA acknowledged powerlessness in preventing the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. The project to drill wells to pump water and redirect magma has been declared useless. Scientists are frantically looking for new solutions.

December 24th. The Steamboat Yellowstone Geyser broke the 1964 record. Not so long ago, a dormant geyser in 2018 became more active and erupted several times more than 54 years ago. This is the most powerful geyser in the park, it ejects boiling water to a height of more than 120 meters.

Yellowstone Volcano is a volcanic caldera in Yellowstone National Park, located in the US state of Wyoming.

Yellowstone is on the list of the 20 most famous supervolcanoes on the planet, the eruption of which can lead to climate change throughout the Earth.

Supervolcano Yellowstone

According to recent studies by American scientists, the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano may occur in the near future. As a result of this catastrophe, about 70% of the territory will be destroyed.

According to volcanologists, with a possible explosion, magma under high pressure will rise high into the sky, and there will be so much ash that it will cover the surface of the earth with a 3-meter layer at a distance of 1600 km.

As a result, tens of millions of people will die, and the territory will become uninhabitable due to high level.

As of today, the lava has approached the surface of the earth's crust so close that the soil has already risen by as much as 1.5 m.

An interesting fact is that in some areas of Yellowstone you can feel the heat of magma without the help of any instruments. This once again proves that a volcanic eruption can indeed begin at any moment.

yellowstone volcano

But how did it all start? In 2002, two new geysers with healing water formed in the Yellowstone Nature Reserve.

Due to this travel companies people began to invite people to visit the national park in order to improve their health, and at the same time enjoy the beauties.

As a result, the annual number of tourists wishing to see the healing springs with their own eyes has increased to 3 million people.

At first, no one gave serious importance to the formation of natural geysers. However, after 2 years the situation began to change dramatically.

The US leadership has tightened visits to Yellowstone Park, and entry was generally prohibited in some areas.

In addition, the number of guards, as well as scientists exploring the supervolcano, has noticeably increased.

The area of ​​the reserve is 3825 km², while the size of the caldera is approximately 55 km by 72 km.

Initially, volcanologists did not assume that the caldera could be of such a huge size, but after a thorough study, this fact was confirmed.

In this regard, it became clear that emanating from the geysers was heated under the influence of red-hot lava.

In 2007, during the presidency of George W. Bush, a special scientific council was formed. The Yellowstone volcano began to be seriously studied by the best American geophysicists and seismologists.

Even intelligence officials and the US Secretary of Defense joined the work. Meetings were held every month, which were personally led by the president.

As it turns out later, such measures were not taken in vain. It turned out that the clogged hot geysers were the harbingers of the awakening of the Yellowstone supervolcano.

In addition, seismologists recorded a sharp rise in the soil under the reserve. In the period 2007-2011. it rose by 1.8 m. At the same time, it should be noted that over the previous 20 years, the rise of the soil did not exceed 10 cm.

Over the many thousands of years of its existence, Yellowstone has erupted 3 times. According to scientists, the last eruption occurred about 600 thousand years ago.

Previously, experts thought that this supervolcano no longer poses any threat to the Earth, but after careful research, everything turned out to be completely different.

Over the past ten years, experts have noted a constant increase in soil temperature and the active rise of lava.

More and more cracks were also found, through which hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide contained in the magma were released. Naturally, this could not but worry American scientists.

Feature of supervolcanoes

It should be said that the eruption of an ordinary volcano occurs at one specific point.

But supervolcanoes cover large areas, and may have several ordinary volcanoes on their territory.

Their danger lies in the fact that they do not erupt, but literally explode on a gigantic territory.

Supervolcano explosion

Scientists have simulated a potential supervolcano explosion. The picture turned out just the same apocalyptic.

It all starts with the fact that magma rises under high pressure. Further, a “hump” is formed, which can reach a height of several hundred meters and be up to 20 km in diameter.

Then cracks and countless vents begin to appear around the perimeter. At one point, the central part of the hump can not withstand the load and collapses down. As a result, the collapsed rock pushes millions of tons of magma and ash out of the depths of the earth.

Scientists suggest that according to the power of the explosion, the Yellowstone volcano will be a thousand times stronger atomic bomb dropped on the city.

An interesting fact is that not so long ago, the Yellowstone Reserve began to rapidly leave the bison. And these, as you know, have the ability to anticipate future disasters, which is another proof of an impending large-scale cataclysm.

Following the bison, they began to run away from the park, which alerted not only scientists, but also rangers. Recent studies have shown that the accumulation of helium and the number of mini-earthquakes in the Yellowstone area has increased 1000 times.

How will the Yellowstone explosion happen?

Volcanologists suggest that before the start of the explosion of the Yellowstone volcano, the earth will rise another tens of meters. In parallel with this, the temperature of the soil will warm up to 70°C.

The explosion will immediately release volcanic ash, which will rise into the sky for about 50 km.

This will be followed by an ejection of magma, which will cover a giant area. All this will be accompanied by powerful.

In the first minutes after the explosion, only about 200 thousand people will die from red-hot lava. Then people will die from subsequent and.

Ultimately, the number of deaths will reach 10 million. All this will resemble the legendary Armageddon.

It is worth noting that volcanic ash particles are so tiny that respirators cannot prevent them from entering the lungs. Once in the human body, the ashes begin to harden and turn into stone.

Thus, people living even thousands of kilometers from the volcano will also be in mortal danger.

In addition, the explosion of the Yellowstone volcano will provoke the formation, as a result of which the level of radiation will rise sharply.

The territory of North America and the southern part will turn into a scorched desert.

The explosion of Yellowstone will cause the eruptions of hundreds of other volcanoes around the earth. Within a few days, all living things will die from earthquakes, magma emissions and suffocation.

In a few weeks, huge masses of ash will close, and cosmic darkness will fall on.

Nuclear winter

After the explosion of the Yellowstone volcano, acid rain will go on for a long time, which will destroy the crop and the entire animal world. Due to lack solar energy, the temperature on the planet will fluctuate between -20°C and -50°C.

Winter will continue for several more years, causing all plants to die and a severe lack of oxygen to occur.

According to scientists, people living in the center of Eurasia and the Eastern European part have the greatest chance of survival.

inglorious end

If such predictions are to be believed, then many questions unwittingly arise. For example, why is it so little talked about in the press and on television?

Some sources claim that the authorities have recognized it as inappropriate to cover this topic, since humanity is unable to prevent the impending catastrophe.

According to the leadership of the United States of America, the wisest thing to do is simply not to cover this topic so as not to cause unnecessary panic among the population.

Yellowstone today

American scientist Howard Huxley has been studying the Yellowstone volcano for a long time. He and his like-minded people formed the Foundation for the Salvation of Civilization.

In their opinion, after the disaster, the entire elite went to live in, located in. Such conclusions were made based on the fact that this country began to receive large-scale cash infusions.

They began to build good roads, airports and special bunkers there, designed for a comfortable existence for several years.

Perhaps in connection with this, American billionaires also built the "Doomsday Vault", which stores the seeds of most plant varieties. This structure is a huge armored safe built in Svalbard.

From all of the above, the conclusion suggests itself that even if some people manage to survive after the explosion of the Yellowstone volcano, their continued existence on Earth is still doomed to death.

But this is already an area of ​​​​exclusive hypotheses and assumptions.

When the whole of Europe was experiencing political catastrophes, the earth in the United States trembled in the most literal sense - an earthquake occurred in the national park in Wyoming, the strength of which was almost 5 points, and all the media reported that the end of the world would come soon.

What happened this April in a US state national park?

In the spring of this year, experts around the world began to sound the alarm about the fact that the Yellowstone volcano in America began to show its activity, to wake up. The reason for this was several earth tremors, the strongest of which was 4.8 points, and a significant increase in water temperature in geyser lakes. According to experts, this can cause catastrophic consequences, up to the Apocalypse. So far, no end of the world has happened, although this volcano is waking up in America, but how long will this rather calm life last? Nobody can even imagine this. In fact, people know no more about the processes that take place underground than about what is happening in the far reaches of space, and perhaps when the Yellowstone volcano wakes up, we will all be in for an unpleasant surprise. As we have already said, this can only be guessed at.

What volcano wakes up in America? What is special about the Yellowstone Volcano?

It is located in Wyoming, in Yellowstone National Park. The park itself is very beautiful, and in particular the photos of these places speak about it. The volcano is so huge that not everyone will even notice it up close. You may simply not understand that what you are looking at is the mouth of a volcano. In fact, this is a huge "bowl" in the mountains, which are located on the territory national park. In scientific terms, this "bowl" is called a caldera. It covers an area of ​​4 thousand square kilometers. For a more accurate representation, let's say that the area of ​​the "bowl" is one and a half squares in Moscow and two squares in Tokyo. At present, it is the most powerful active volcano on Earth. According to scientists, the force of the eruption of this volcano will be comparable to the force of the explosion of a thousand atomic bombs.

A volcano that can't calm down

Scientists also found that over the past 17 million years, with a frequency of approximately 600 thousand years, this volcano wakes up in America. During eruptions, huge amounts of ash and lava are ejected to the surface. In the caldera, the thickness is only 400 meters, and on average on the planet its thickness is 40 kilometers. According to researchers, the last time the Yellowstone volcano erupted 640 thousand years ago. So, perhaps soon we will talk about the fact that the Yellowstone volcano is waking up in America. And on Earth, another large-scale catastrophe begins, as a result of which all life dies.

Is it really the end of the world when the Yellowstone volcano wakes up?

Some researchers believe that the risk of disaster is very high. According to them, the force of the eruption will be comparable to the force of the cataclysm that occurred during the birth of life on Earth. Many thousands of cubic kilometers of lava will be poured into the United States. Those places where lava does not reach will be covered with volcanic ash. The whole of North America will turn into a sparsely inhabited desert.

Other countries, according to experts, also cannot avoid trouble, because the ashes will rise into earth's atmosphere and will cover the entire surface of our planet from the sun's rays. There will be a very long night all over the Earth. It will be impossible to see anything even at arm's length.

On Earth, deprived of solar heat, winter will reign. The temperature in different parts of the planet will fall to the level of -15 to -50 degrees. Plants will die, agricultural production will drop sharply. People will start dying of hunger and hypothermia. According to experts, 99% of the world's population will die, and the countdown to the beginning of these terrible days has already begun ...

What are the signs that an eruption is near?

It is far from a fact that the experts are right and everything will end as scary as it is described a little higher. However, since the beginning of 2014, according to various sources, from 60 to 200 tremors have occurred in Yellowstone. The strongest of them was recorded on March 30, its power was, as already mentioned, 4.8 points. The temperature of many geyser lakes in the national park has risen sharply by 20 degrees. This means that magma is moving along towards the Earth's surface.

According to scientists, in the event of an explosion of a volcano in Yellowstone, a giant array of magma, the size of which will be somewhere around 80 by 20 kilometers, can spill onto the earth. The end of the world may not happen, and not many people will die, or even everyone will survive, but the American economy could be dealt a significant blow. It is quite possible that other countries will have to help the United States cope with the consequences of the catastrophe that may arise due to the fact that the Yellowstone volcano in America is waking up.

What else could happen in the event of an explosion of a volcano in Yellowstone?

As is already clear, reports of the imminent end of the world after the earth tremors in Yellowstone are somewhat premature. Definitely it will not start right now or in the near future. However, the fact that it will not happen at all cannot be guaranteed either. Perhaps there will be a giant earthquake in Yellowstone, which, no doubt, will also cause significant harm.

In general, the possibility of an eruption and the consequences that will be when the Yellowstone volcano wakes up cannot be said for sure, one can only guess. Maybe, ordinary people they say far from everything and hide something from them. Nobody can say for sure about this. It is only known that in the spring the US government did not carry out the evacuation of people from areas close to the Yellowstone National Park.
