Long Valley Supervolcano

The Science Channel investigated a section of the valley and discovered many clouds of smoke pouring from beneath the ground.
Using InSAR data that has been monitoring the region for the last 20 years, geophysicist Jared Peacock pointed out a worrying aspect of the caldera that might portend problems.
InSAR is a remote sensing method that employs a laser to concentrate a beam of radiation on a target, bouncing back to a sensor on an antenna, providing a comprehensive map of a region.
One of the most concerning sites in InSAR was near Mammoth Lakes, a hamlet in the Sierra Nevada highlands.
A blazing-hot red spot is depicted just beneath the Earth, indicating the presence of magma.
The InSAR data revealed the resurgent dome and checked for signals of problems deep below to see if the Long Valley Caldera was coming back to life.
This activity, however, was not centralized, which is grounds for concern. Instead, it was scarce and dispersed.
The Long Valley Caldera reservoir is predicted to have "significant melt characteristics," with a volume of more than 240 cubic miles (1,000 cubic kilometers).
This melt might be hot enough to burn liquid rock in around 27% of cases.
Long Valley last erupted 100,000 years ago, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

I’ll see your CONvid and raise you an eruption.
Mammoth Lakes is one of the creepiest spots on earth.
How do you “burn liquid rock”?
No wonder Pelosi is moving to Florida. Someone must have tipped her off.
Journalists.........
Will coastal CA slide under the Pacific if this happens?
Asking for a friend ...
Eruptions have consequences.............................
It’s about 100 miles east of San Francisco.
I’ve read that one volcano puts out more pollution that all of mankind in history. What will a Super volcano put out? The END of the world????????
A Super volcano eruption anywhere, would darken the sky for months, all over the globe, scatter ash all over the globe and within a thousand miles of the crater have ash build up to several feet thick.
A ‘nuclear winter’ scenario, crops and forests would fail all over the globe, people would starve by the billions.............
Why, how and when heat and and huge amounts of polluting gases emanate from the core of the earth is simply not scientifically understood. At best instruments seem to tell when really big eruptions are about to happen. The amount of heat and gasses released has more to do with climate change, arctic, antarctic ice thickness and the fate of polar bears than any other single factor.
Spray it with Flourine. In fact room temperature rock will catch in fire with Flourine.
Uh-oh, sounds like a another crisis! /s
“ A ‘nuclear winter’ scenario, crops and forests would fail all over the globe, people would starve by the billions.”
And they’d still insist we wear masks and take experimental jabs.
The USGS has it rated as very high.
Yellowstone is rated high.

Last Known Super-volcano eruption : 74,000BC most of humanity wiped out some several thousand survived - our ancestors.
Well, there’s always chlorine trifluoride.
