The Yellowstone Supervolcano: New Finding –”Potential To Erupt With 2,000 Times The Force Of Mount St. Helens” (Video)

(N.Morgan) A very interesting study from the University of Utah that the hot, molten rock beneath Yellowstone is 2 ½ times larger than previously estimated, meaning the park’s supervolcano has the potential to erupt with a force about 2,000 times the size of Mount St. Helens. The chamber is 18 miles wide and runs at depths from 3 to 9 miles below the earth, he added. That means there is enough volcanic material below the surface to match the largest of the supervolcano’s three eruptions over the last 2.1 million years, Farrell said. The largest blast — the volcano’s first — was 2,000 times the size of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington state. The USGS’ Yellowstone Volcano Observatory listed the park’s volcano alert level as “normal” for December.

 

 

 

 

 

Some scientists tracking earthquake swarms under Yellowstone have warned the caldera is overdue to erupt. Farrell dismissed that notion, saying there isn’t enough data to estimate the timing of the next eruption. “We do believe there will be another eruption, we just don’t know when.” A large earthquake at Yellowstone is much more likely than a volcano eruption, Farrell added. The 7.5-magnitude Hebgen Lake earthquake killed 28 people there in 1959. Some 640,000 years ago there was a colossal cauldron of magma, a supervolcano, that exploded with such violence that it left an ash layer almost ten feet deep a thousand miles away in eastern Nebraska killing all plant life and covering almost all of the United States west of the Mississippi. Modern geological surveys have shown that this supervolcano erupts catastrophically every 600,000 years. The land that supervolcano is trapped in was called by Blackfoot Indians ‘the land of evil spirits’ -what we know today as Yellowstone National Park.

 

 

 

Could this set off a the New Madrid Fault Line? Could this lead to a domino effect, where the entire country would be involved?

  • Here’s the deal. The magma is some miles down is it not? Therefore its not going to come rushing up blowing all that rock out of the way all at once or without anyone noticing. It just wont happen by the time it explodes all the residents within 100 miles AT LEAST will have had enough time to evacuate and build a house somewhere else!

  • Still can’t get one person to bet me. $10k says Yellowstone won’t erupt in the next 5 years. Nobody believes the crap they are selling.

  • well folks ..time will tell…..whether it will or will not blow in our life times…

    by the way “who let the green man out”
