Geologists worry, America wakes supervolcano!
End of the world really true?
What is so dangerous supervolcano?
What distinguishes it from an ordinary volcano?
In 2 words supervolcano is a volcano sitting on a huge bubble of magma.
If ordinary volcanoes magma gradually going to mount, and then starts to come out, then it is a supervolcano is going to a huge magma chamber.
It melts the rock coming from what becomes thick, the pressure in the chamber is constantly growing!
This process can last 100 thousand years, but not looking at the long term, supervolcano eruption takes 2nd place in the ranking of global catastrophic events.
Steeper and more dangerous than just a drop in the huge asteroids.
Experts watching the activity of the Yellowstone supervolcano, saying that if he wakes up - it will turn a terrible catastrophe.
Supervolcano in Yellowstone Located in Wyoming. It is a huge pit area of
4000 square meters, its area is two cities such as Tokyo or Moscow 1.5.
Signs of the impending eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano officer said America Yellowstone National Park Hank Hessler. Scientist alarmed: the awakened volcano could wipe out half of the United States, and the entire planet at the same time immersed in the twilight for a few years.
The emergence of new geysers, "increase in the number and strength of earthquakes all over the park," "rise of the land for the last 4 years almost 2 meters" - all of these symptoms, according to the scientist, just point to a close explosion supervolcano. In addition, the imminent eruption of the volcano says Yeloustounskogo and statistics - for the past 17 million years, the volcano has erupted more than 100 times, and the latest emissions were 2 million and 640 thousand years ago.
hibernation "Time", "coming to an end, and the time of awakening close If this giant supervolcano will begin to erupt, the vast territory of America can turn to." dead zone "over the volcano produced huge ozone hole, and then solar radiation will exceed Chernobyl." - says scientist.
Yellowstone supervolcano, in his opinion, "throw some three thousand cubic meters of ash, which will close the Sun for a few years, will be poured acid rain, which destroyed most of the plants on the planet." In addition, the explosion of the Yellowstone in the world dramatically decreases the temperature - although the United States will no longer be up to these disasters, because half of their territory will be destroyed along with the Americans, nuclear power plants, industry and military bases.
"The temperature on the planet is reduced by approximately 20 degrees Celsius, that is, in Finland, Norway and Russia in the north the climate is closer to the Arctic", - has felt the media.
Thus, Hank Hessler forecasts - Near disaster that "make people forget about many of its current problems."
In turn, in an interview with "Russian newspaper", Professor, Head of the Department of Geosphere Dynamics, Moscow State University Nikolai Koronovskii recognized - indeed, "in the area of
the volcano there is some evidence that the magma can rise up and if you break out, then America will not find it." However, the scientist added that "a similar picture we see is not the first time, there is growing activity periodically, then fades." He notes that "this is reminiscent of the behavior of a kind of underground bladder, which then inflates, then deflates - so for the current activity should be treated calmly."
In short, the scientist believes that "the picture is still unclear." Even though the professor is sure - "you can say for sure that the Yellowstone Volcano speak, but when," and suggested that the exact date can be called with the error of "plus or minus 10 thousand years."
