Hi.
“Long Valley last erupted 100,000 years ago, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).”
Who told the USGS that eruption happened?
Someone has a Delorean...
5.56mm
Why is it creepy? Serious question. I have never been there.
“Spray it with Flourine.”
Do you think the Long Valley volcano plans on doing that?
The term "supervolcano" implies a volcanic center that has had an eruption of magnitude 8 on the Volcano Explosivity Index (VEI), meaning that at one point in time it erupted more than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles) of material.In the early 2000s, the term “supereruption” began being used as a catchy way to describe VEI 8 eruptions. Explosive events of this size erupt so much magma that a circular-shaped collapse feature, called a caldera, forms above the evacuated magma storage region.
The largest (super) eruption at Yellowstone (2.1 million years ago) had a volume of 2,450 cubic kilometers. Like many other caldera-forming volcanoes, most of Yellowstone’s many eruptions have been smaller than VEI 8 supereruptions, so it is confusing to categorize Yellowstone as a “supervolcano.”
Other caldera-forming volcanoes that have produced exceedingly large pyroclastic eruptions in the past 2 million years include Long Valley in eastern California, Valles Caldera in New Mexico, Toba in Indonesia, and Taupo in New Zealand. Taupo erupted 22,600 years ago and is the most recent supereruption on Earth (with a volume of about 1,130 cubic kilometers).
Additional volcanoes capable of producing supereruptions include the large caldera volcanoes of Japan, Indonesia, and South America.
Note : I think there is also a Yellowstone like super volcano in Eastern Siberia, Russia
Krakatoa wasn’t a super volcano? I know it was heard damn near around the world but that is seriously scary that that eruption isn’t a considered all that big. Holy crap.
From the article you posted...
“A robust geothermal system inside the caldera fuels the Casa Diablo power plant, which generates enough power for 40,000 homes.”
I don’t Spanish, but doesn’t CASA DIABLO translate to the “house of Satan”?
It sure is!
Good info.
Nope. The pressure is from miles underground and the top level magma is just a tiny fraction of that pressure and only represents an indication of what is below.
A big one would reverse “climate change” very rapidly, and likely cause a new ice age.
Biden will convene a committee nd discus it.
Wouldn’t Pelosi actually be safer in San Francisco, being upwind of the volcano? (at least until the ash cloud circles the globe). It’s depressing to think that there might actually be an advantage to living in poop town, but if given the choice I think I’d rather deal with a choking volcanic ash cloud than living there.
PLEASE tell me thatâÂÂs not true.

What about Woolly and Columbia Mammoths, Dire Wolves, Smilodons, Short Faced Cave Bears, Aurochs and other tasty animals, will they come back also?
Stop teasing... I can only handle so much good news at one time.
Krakatoa was noted for being explosive, not necessarily how much magma it had to expel as lava and ash.
This means, at a minimum, that everything as far away as, for example:
That could affect Soros' plans for stealing the 2022 & 3034 elections...
Also, plans will have to be made & implemented to move about 25,000,000 illegal migrant invader vermin from those states to the eastern seaboard...
Each of their $450,000 reparation pmts will be sorely needed to boost the post-apocalyptic economies...
3034 ==>2024
I'm not an engineer. But lets think of a pressure cooker. If heat keeps being applied, it will eventually expode. But it has a steam vent that prevents it from happening.
Why not the same concept to drill holes that vent the pressure?
