Why is Yellowstone volcano called a "supervolcano"? Once the outbreak will really affect human survival?

Introduction: We humans have never been able to control, master and predict natural disasters. Whether it is as small as a gust of wind or as big as a volcanic eruption and a tsunami, however, the power of nature cannot be underestimated by everyone, and once it occurs, it will cause serious damage to us human beings. Everyone must know the world's largest volcano. This volcano covers an area of ​​nearly 8,000 square kilometers, even larger than some countries. Such a large volcano, once it erupts, what kind of consequences it will bring to the whole world, no one dares to imagine.

Why is Yellowstone volcano called a "supervolcano"? Once the outbreak will really affect human survival?

1. What is a super volcano?

When the volcano erupts, the underground lava will erupt to the ground, all the creatures on the ground will not survive, and the entire surface will be burnt with pits and pits by this magma. However, the entire sky will be filled with smoke and the ground will collapse.

Of course, not all volcanoes are called super volcanoes. If you want to become a super volcano, you must have a super eruption in the past, and the eruption index may reach level 8 or higher. And the power of its eruption cannot be estimated.

Now that science and technology are advancing faster and faster, people may explore the dangers of some volcanoes. Once some strange signals are sent, scientists will clear the surrounding environment. Therefore, many people will not worry that the eruption of the volcano will cause harm to themselves, but there is one kind of volcano that has always attracted the attention of all walks of life, and it is the Yellowstone volcano. However, some people do not understand how harmful the Yellowstone volcano is.

2. Yellowstone Super Volcano

Located in Yellowstone National Park in the western United States, there is a Yellowstone volcano, which is a super volcano. And it covers most of the entire northwest, and underneath this volcano, there's a lot of silica. Such a huge amount of silica suddenly explodes within a certain period of time, and the entire gas and magma will be erupted in one go. Such damage will bring incalculable consequences to the entire country and region.

According to records, the Yellowstone volcano has erupted three times in the past 200 years. And it erupts every 65 to 70 years, and the erupted magma will cover an area of ​​nearly 9,000 square kilometers. Scientists in the United States predict that the Yellowstone volcano will usher in a 65-year cycle, and is likely to erupt in the future. And the news that this outbreak will be worse than the previous ones is sure to make people panic.

Once the volcanic eruption is sure to cause a global catastrophe, and the magma underground will produce a large amount of dust, sprayed into the atmosphere, the entire debris may flood the entire United States. And 5 billion people in the world will be affected by this volcanic eruption, and a large number of creatures will die within 1,000 kilometers of the volcano. If there is an eruption of this volcano, the most dangerous material is volcanic ash, and the entire west will be covered by volcanic ash and no life will grow.

3. How to prevent the eruption of Yellowstone volcano?

Are we just watching the volcano erupt? Don't have any solution? In fact, if the Yellowstone volcano wanted to actually erupt, it would have some special symptoms a few years ago. Once these signs appear, people can take some corresponding measures, such as evacuation drills within 500 kilometers, and let all those who may be threatened store food and water away from the range of volcanic eruptions.

Of course, you can also choose to burrow to live, and when the disaster passes, people can return to land. Given enough time, you can even put stale flora and fauna in a protected safe area.

Conclusion: When natural disasters come, no one can escape. But we should not give up any hope again and again. No matter whether the Yellowstone volcano will erupt or not, we must have an optimistic attitude, choose to face it positively, and at the same time make plans for our future and the future.
