72 Individual Earthquakes Hit Across Yellowstone In Less Than A Day
The USGS Has recorded 72 Earthquakes at the Yellowstone National Park in the past 24 Hours. This swarm was triggered by a 4.4 Earthquake. NASA have been voicing concern after flying an Infrared Observatory over the Super Volcano. This quake activity might be an indication of underground lava on the relocation. The smaller sized quakes are beginning to work their method towards the Caldera location.
According to a new study published by the US Geological Survey, cities about 300 miles away from the volcano’s location in Wyoming would be covered in up to three feet of ash as a result of a supereruption, the largest kind of volcanic eruption possible. More than 240 cubic miles of material would be expelled into the atmosphere, reaching cities like New York and Los Angeles on both sides of the United States.
In fact, the resulting ash cloud, or “umbrella,” as scientists called it, would be so strong that it would overpower normal wind patterns in North America, potentially grounding all air travel throughout the entire continent and radically altering the region’s climate. Electronic communication between the US’ East and West Coasts could also become complicated, if not hopeless.
With millions of tons of lava located underneath the supervolcano – last year the reservoir was found to be 2.5 times larger than previously thought – a supereruption would likely affect the entire world, not just the US or North America. There are other known supervolcanos around the world but is estimated the last super eruption happened over 70,000 years ago at Lake Toba, Indonesia.
What is your thoughts on Yellowstone? Do you live close by and have noticed a definitive change in this beasts behaviour? Can we do anything to slow down or stop a potentially apocalyptic worldwide event from happening?
