The moon was made of green cheese, how would it impact the U.S.??
Ask a silly question and you get another silly question.
There are far too too many variables with any possible Yellowstone valcanic eruption to know or predict ahead of time what the impact might be. It’s a guessing game.
“If Yellowstone’s volcanic system erupted, how could it impact the US?”
Depends on the scale of the eruption...
IIRC geological samples reveal an enormous desimination of ash covering the area presently known as the United States. If memory serves strata reveals 2 such events in geological history.
Addy Bink? Where do these names come from?
What were the parents thinking?
Boomably
2 words come to mind: Game Over.
Aren’t volcanic eruptions like earthquakes??? They vary in size and proportionality...
Someone needs an editor. Near the end of the article, the author switches from Yellowstone to Yosemite.
Depends on the timing. If it happens before the election, Biden can name Kamala the earthquake czar and we will all be safe.
Mayor Pete can run evacuations and the mobilization of relief operations if he’s not on maternity leave again. Timing is important there too.
OK, now it's time to officially start worrying.
Iirc Yellowstone gas had three mega-eruptions in past 3M years or so. Another of those would kill most life in middle of country promptly, produce couple years of volcanic winter and end cross country travel for some time. Probably this killing more than its direct effects. But those are infrequent. Yellowstone is reported to have had dozens of smaller eruptions, which are thus far more likely. Geologists don’t talk much to media about them. Are they typically Mt St Helen’s sized, larger, smaller? I don’t know, but better journalism should have provided an answer.
If we can hold out for another 100,000 years or so the thing will be completely over the Wyoming border and somebody else’s problem.

Why worry? If it goes, the world will be significantly impacted as will the entire human race. As for the US, it would be a write off.
Buy masks by the car load, they can be entombed with you when feet of rock ash falls, night descends for several years, and there is no food, water, or usable shelter.
“Officials with the U.S. Geological Survey told Nexstar hydrothermal explosions like the one that occurred this week are “not a sign of impending volcanic eruptions.”
That’s the government speaking so you know the bloody thing is definitely about to blow.
Bye bye y’all!
I was just thinking that if a volcano erupted right under Hill headquarters then the world would be a better place.
The Midwest, Mid-Atlantic & East Coast will get 1-3ft of volcanic ash fallout from the winds.
Hydrothermal eruptions are not uncommon.
Nor are phearatic eruptions uncommon. But, there most likely isn’t enough water to cause a large phearatic eruption.
Since the last super eruption, there have been some 70 or so NON explosive eruptions in that system.
As for a super eruption, there simply isn’t enough eruptable magma to cause one. Won’t happen. Give it a hundred thousand years or so and then everybody can get their fear on.
Anyone who calls it a SUPER volacano is proof they know nothing of volcanism. There is no such thing as a super volcano. There is such a thing as a super volcanic eruption, or hyper eruption, a more correct term.

Let’s put it this way, if Yellowstone goes, the USA is finished in every way imaginable, and could explain why the USA is not in Bible prophesy.
