Why the Yellowstone Supervolcano Could Be Huge

One of the world's largest supervolcanoes erupted 2.1 million years ago in Yellowstone, and then twice more there at intervals of roughly 660,000 years. Are we due for another one soon?

@Enzzo Meh, I'm not religious at all really. I believe they are more a guideline of how you should treat others. "Most" religions have the same underlying message(Don't be a shmuck). I really think the world would be a better place if we just treated others as we would want to be treated, but maybe that is just me working in the service industry for too long. My new favorite quote, and sadly I can't remember the source is "Choosing kindness is just as easy as smiling." The world is mostly an evil place, but there is always good in it, if you look for it. I don't think we should have to look for it myself, but it is what it is.

I live in Wyoming and we learned about Yellowstone for two months in 4th grade. We had a guest come in and they told us if it erupted no one in Wyoming would have time to evacuate

[@thetechnicanwithaheart1682]

I would disagree. Usually swarms of earthquakes is an indicator that a major eruption is about to occur. USGS Geological Survey pocinologists were flown from the United States into the Philippines. They were monitoring Mount Pinatubo. The prediction was that the mountain was going to have a large eruption. The scientists were nervous because past evacuations resulted in no eruption. This time they were correct. The sheer volume of Ash was enormous. It's cascaded down on top of Clark Air Force Base and collapsed many structures on the base. Eventually Clark Air Force Base shut down for good after being on the island for the last 100 years

[@danielmullaney8674]

Yellowstone supervolcano gets a lot of attention, because its in the USA and closely monitored. Actually, The Lake Toba system in Sumatra, Indonesia is larger and erupted far more recently, 75000 years ago. If it went again it could kill millions world wide. The Lake Taupo system in New Zealand North Island is about the same size as Yellowstone, except it seems to be far more active and last erupted only 26,000 years ago (the last supervolcanic eruption on earth, which was actually slightly larger than the last Yellowstone eruption 640000 years ago). In fact Lake Taupo has supererupted several times since the last Yellowstone eruption.

[@FatalFist]

America also has two Super Volcanoes. What was thought to be Mammoth Mountain (California) is actually part of its Caldera

vetjoh the entire even is. It’s not just one thing, it’s all of the effects of a super volcano eruption. The eruption, the lava flow, the lahores, the acid rain, the volcanic ash in the atmosphere, temperature change, so many things

[@kindafatkindastrong5683]

the lava isnt the biggest threat is what i said

[@thekingdelta7293]

For anyone worrying about the predicted eruption time. We only have 3 volcanic eruptions to go off of, so the actual predicted time for when the volcano is supposed to erupt is unknown as of yet. It could've been that the last 3 volcanic eruptions were anomalies and just erupted quick compared to its average or anything really, we just don't know since we're basing it off of its 3 past eruptions.

[@bunnyniyori6324]

The sad truth though is humans have only had the needed science to know just about anything useful for 100 years. And we routinely view everything through our 70 year life spans and 4 year governments. The planet operates on a different time scale. "Soon" to Yellowstone could be several 1000 years. The last big super volcano to actually touch humanity was Toba and we were just managing to figure out speech. Yellowstone makes for great movies. But I think we will suffer from our stupidity sooner than Yellowstone.

The one thing not to worry about is the fact that if an eruption happens soon when the magma isn't liquified, it could be a super small one.

[@alphabetsoup6837]

Anyone else hear after news that it started pulsing?

[@cassidynova9186]

I am not a scientist. I know nothing about researching volcanos, etc. I'm basically just pulling this out of my ass. What if we were to drill into Yellowstone and somehow relieve the pressure(Magna/Lava) that is building up to where we avoid it erupting? Is that possibly or is that fantasy? If nothing can be done, I'm moving to Australia. Australia seems far enough and it's society looks good.
