This thing may not blow for a half a million years, but every couple of months another fear-porn article has to come out about it.
Volcanoes are fascinating and best observed from drone footage.
People who get to close to them stand a higher risk of dying a very un pleasant death.
WUT! I never knew! 🌋🤔🔥
Love how they throw all those numbers around: 600,000, 70,000. Prove it— you can’t.
Geology 101
Could? It will in its own time, and in geology that can be a very long time.
Must be Spring... Yellowstone articles are coming out again...
Oh noes! We’se all goin to die! 🙄
I welcome it
Talk about climate control
What ever would people do with the panic punks on the internet these days.
Since the last super eruption, there have been many smaller eruptions there in history. The west thump of the lake is evidence.
Lastly, there isn’t enough eruptable magma in the chamber for a larger super volcanic eruption. How do they know? Becsuse they figured out how to use seismic information for that.
Now, if you panic punks want to see one that would set you off, take a look at Campi Flegrei.
Some of us, like myself, talk to geologists who like to keep up with the latest on certain systems.
BTW, Campi is barely considered a super volcano. Outside of its original eruption 30 to 40 thousand years ago, it hasn’t come close to being within the classification of having such an event.
But, the location, the type of material and that much of the original caldera is within the bay, makes it a difficult system to study. Vesuvius is directly connected to that volcanic system.
As farcas yelloeston? Yup. It will erupt. Thousands of years from now.
This describes a phreatic eruption, not the supervolcano catastrophe people fantasize about. Unless like the unfortunate Japanese hikers you might be standing there by the summit. Then it’s a catastrophe.
We should have mail-in voting only because of this!
I’m glad my oldest is no longer stationed in Tacoma. Seriously, I had a slight nagging worry about Yellowstone.
But she’s at Bragg now so...number 3 or 4 on the nuke list when Russia starts launching missiles.
Just dont kick the bison ..........
The old Yellowstone super volcano fear porn again ... what’s up? Pandemic fear porn failing?
I don’t think there is any question that a full blown eruption would over time kill everyone on earth by destroying the agiculture output of the US and causing a shortage that would in time effect the world. But it’s all a domino effect. We can’t send or recieve it. Poeple get hungry and thirsty and go to the next door country to get it. War will esacalate world wide, and we all will kill each other if any of the food is in existance.
The last one to go idiology is not that importanat. People aren’t that important. People today are nothing more than the expansion of life from millions of years ago. The people have no say in what happens in this. They can’t stop ICBM’s, they can’t even seem to get together on who owns what. Well, so when this thing hits, even people have no say on anything other than how they are going to die in many instances. And the geological people say no later than 63K years possibly for this to happen. So why worry about it? If it goes the distance, that’s over 3100 generations from now. And that’s long after someone digs me up and calls me an archeologial find. Hope I was worth it.
