Volcanoes have always been a common topic. Recently, the eruption of the Tonga volcano has attracted the attention of others. In the United States, there is a super bomb hidden, and if it erupts, it may cause humans to disappear!
Yellowstone volcano erupts
Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA, has a supervolcano, Yellowstone Volcano.
This volcano is the largest in the world,
The most active supervolcano.

Yellowstone volcanoes are not like other ordinary volcanoes,
There are obvious craters and depressions,
From the outside it looks more like a plain or a mountain range.
It can be said that
It's not a volcano.
It is an "ocean" of magma!
2.1 million years ago 1.3 million years ago, 640,000 years ago,
He had had three huge eruptions.
These three eruptions also created the magical geological landscape of Yellowstone Volcano.

According to the research,
The crater of the Yellowstone supervolcano reaches 84×54 km,
That is, 3780 square kilometers. You can also see how huge this supervolcano is.
Huangshi National Forest Park has a large number of tourists every year,
But if a volcano erupts,
What will happen?
Studies have shown that
From 2004 to 2007,
The crust of the Yellowstone Volcano was lifted up a full 17 centimeters,
This is likely to indicate that it is about to have a serious outbreak.
In this regard, the Federal Geological Survey,
International first-class experts such as the University of Utah in the United States have investigated this.

Experts from the U.S. Geological Survey speculate that
If The Yellowstone volcano erupts,
Its power will be 1883,
Indonesia erupted 50 times as many as The Krakatoa Volcano.
You know, it was an outbreak that killed more than 36,000 people.
According to this calculation.
This, in turn, leads to nearly two million people,
Thus lost his life.
According to current calculations,
We can also know that
If a Yellowstone volcano erupts,
1,000 square kilometers of pumice and dust will be lifted up by it to turn into volcanic ash.

Volcanic ash will envelop the entire earth for months or even years,
It will bring us nearly 10 years of volcanic winter.
Now it's been a violent outbreak since the last time.
It's been 640,000 years.
And experts speculate that every 600,000-800,000,
Yellowstone volcanoes will erupt in huge eruptions.
It is not difficult to see that the Yellowstone volcano could erupt at any time.
Experts reason,
If the eruption of Yellowstone volcano is too intense,
It is likely to strip the entire atmosphere of the Earth,
leading to climate changes throughout the planet,
Let all life end because of this disaster!
The big explosion 640,000 years ago,
The outbreak level has reached level 8,
That is, the volume of magma spewed out reached 1,000 cubic meters,
Such a huge explosion is equivalent to about 800,000 Hiroshima nuclear bombs,
Its power can be imagined.
The eruption of The Yellowstone Volcano would be a serious disaster,
So.
Yellowstone volcanic eruption simulation
Many scientists are also working to stop the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano.
Some people think we just need to drill a hole in the surface of The Yellowstone Volcano.
Inject water into the magma reservoir,
not to stop the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano,
But experts believe.
The magma reservoir is located 5000 meters to 20000 meters underground,
If you want to drill a hole,
There must also be and must be very advanced technology,
Such a technology currently requires a lot of time and labor.
And
If the hole is drilled into the magma reservoir,
It is likely to cause pressure from the magma reservoir,
A large amount of magma will gush out,
This in turn accelerated the eruption of Yellowstone Volcano.
There is still much to be discussed and studied by many experts on how to prevent the eruption of Yellowstone Volcano, and we hope that that day will never come, otherwise it may be the end of mankind.
