WHAT IF YELLOWSTONE EXPLODED?
Yellowstone National Park sits on top of a giant super volcano, which explains its powerful geysers and hot springs. Beneath Yellowstone lies an enormous magma chamber, discovered to be larger than previously thought in 2015. There are now two reservoirs of magma under the park. The magma chambers contain enough magma to fill the Grand Canyon 11 times over. Yellowstone rises about 1 to 2 inches each year due to the pressure from the magma chambers. Yellowstone is classified as an active volcano with a volcanic explosivity index of 8 out of 8, indicating a potentially catastrophic eruption.
