Joe Rogan wants something terrifying is Happening and soon they might close Yellowstone because as Joe said the Super volcano that is a continent killer If it blows up everyone dies the whole Country dies because it is a dead zone But why is Joe Rogan so worried well Because it is really happening that Yellowstone National Park officials have Reported a different increased activity Throughout different areas of the Yellowstone super volcano and as Scientists revealed this super volcano Is so dangerous that all the states Throughout the United States should Prepare and be ready for this horrifying Danger fortunately Yellowstone National Park officials have taken many Appropriate measures to be ready but Still the situation is very dangerous so Let's explain everything so Yellowstone National Park sits on top of partially Melted rock in the Earth's crust and a Huge column of hot rock rising from the Mantle called a mantle plume these Geological characteristics have led to Three enormous eruptions in the past two Million years which created a large bowl Depression on the Earth's surface called Calderas Caldera forming eruptions are Some of the most massive and destructive Types of volcanic events and they can Produce depressions that span several Miles in width Yellowstone has gained

The reputation of being a super volcano Due to the possibility of massive Eruptions happening there the intense Heat from the mantle plume beneath the Park leads to The Melting of the Earth's Crust and the buildup of magma over time As magma keeps accumulating pressure Increases causing cracks to form in the Crust and resulting in a catastrophic Eruption the eruption releases an Enormous amount of magma depleting the Magma Reservoir beneath as a result the Cross collapses inward forming a Caldera The Hot Spot in the Earth's mantle that Lies Beneath Yellowstone was created Around 17 million years ago the Yellowstone volcano has been active for Over 2 million years resulting in Numerous smaller earthquakes volcanic Eruptions and other volcanic events During this time several large calderas Were formed due to massive volcanic Eruptions three major Caldera forming Eruptions took place in Yellowstone's History the first one occurred 2.1 Million years ago and was so powerful That it created a crater bigger than the Entire State of Rhode Island the second Eruption happened 1.3 million years ago In Island Park Eastern Idaho while the Third occurred 630 000 years ago forming The present day Yellowstone Caldera These three eruptions were among the Largest ever recorded with sizes

Respectively six thousand seven hundred And two thousand five hundred times Larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens considering that these Massive eruptions occur every 600 000 to 800 000 years some people are now Wondering if Yellowstone is overdue for Another earth-shaking explosion if the Yellowstone supervolcano were to erupt At present it's incredibly difficult to Determine the exact level of Destruction It would bring the most probable outcome Would be the occurrence of a lava flow Which has been the case in ninety Percent of Yellowstone don't previous Eruptions these lava flows involve the Relatively calm streaming of molten rock From the Earth's crust however if the Worst case scenario were to happen Resulting in an explosive eruption Forming a Caldera the extent of damage Is still a subjective debate among Scientists According to some predictions If a major eruption were to occur at Yellowstone an enormous amount of magma Would be released capable of filling the Grand Canyon more than 11 times the Eruption would also produce a Significant amount of Ash which could Accumulate several inches deep even one Thousand miles away from Yellowstone the Lava flow might reach as far north as Calgary and as far south as Los Angeles There are even suggestions that the ash

Could block sunlight leading to a global Cooling event the ash would likely cover A large portion of North America causing Severe damage to plants and animals in Wyoming and the surrounding areas Breathing would become difficult due to Poor air quality and Water Supplies Would be contaminated when Jacob Lowenstein a scientist in charge at the Yellowstone volcano Observatory was Asked about the possibility of another Huge eruption he expressed grave Concerns he stated that if such an event Were to happen today it would have Catastrophic consequences for the global Economy it would severely disrupt Transportation within the United States Render our electrical grid useless lead To the death of millions of livestock And cause a cooling effect on the planet That could last for 10 years or even Longer over the past 30 years the Caldera has been carefully monitored and Jacob Lowenstein mentioned that during This monitoring The Observatory observed A couple of interesting earthquake Swarms in 2008 and 2010. they also Noticed some cycles of the caldera's Ground rising and sinking where the surf Is lifted by 5 to 10 inches multiple Notification and alert systems are in Place to ensure that in the unlikely Event of an eruption people in the Immediate danger zone would be informed

Promptly the Yellowstone volcano Observatory established in 2001 is a Collaborative effort among eight Organizations over seen by the United States Geological Survey USGS their Primary mission is to monitor volcanic Activity in Yellowstone and provide Vital Information on warnings regarding Potential or ongoing volcanic events They conduct various research activities Including monitoring earthquakes ground Deformation and volcanic activity Additionally they create educational Materials for the public while it is Impossible to prevent an eruption Scientists are confident in their Ability to detect warning signs weeks Months or even years before an eruption Occurs furthermore new research Published in the journal science Suggests that there is more liquid Molten rock in one of the underground Magma reservoirs beneath the Yellowstone Caldera scientists can gauge the Likelihood of a volcano erupting by Examining the quantity of molten rock Beneath it this molten rock known as Magma comes in different forms ranging From solid to liquid the more liquid the Magma is the higher the chances of an Eruption the Yellowstone Caldera houses Two significant magma reservoirs one Located approximately three to ten miles Beneath the earth's surface and the

Other situated 12 to 30 miles deep Underground scientists previously Believed that the shallow magma Reservoir contained mostly Solid Rock With only five to fifteen percent malted Rock however new analysis using Advanced Supercomputers to study seismic data From the last two decades suggests that The actual portion of melted rock in the Reservoir is higher ranging from 16 to 20 percent the recent discoveries Signify a significant advancement in our Comprehension of the underground Composition of Yellowstone according to Kerry Cooper Earth and planetary Scientist at the University of California Davis who was not part of the Research Cooper expressed this opinion To James deanan from new scientists it's A bit like getting a new lens on an old Camera says Michael Poland a research Geophysicist and the head scientist at The U.S geological survey's Yellowstone Volcano Observatory who was not part of The study it's the same camera but You've got finer resolution now you see With more clarity when earthquakes occur They generate seismic waves that travel Through various layers inside the earth Before reaching seismometers on the Surface these waves tend to slow down When they encounter molten rock which Allows scientists to utilize the time it Takes for the waves to reach the

Seismometers in order to gather Information about the amount of magma Present underground previous analyzes Have simplified the path of seismic Waves assuming a direct linear path from The earthquake to the sizeometer however The agile journey of these waves is far More intricate in this study researchers Used Advanced supercomputers to simulate The seismic waves in three dimensions Offering a more comprehensive Understanding of the complex structure Beneath Yellowstone as study coh author Ross Maguire a seismologist at the University of Illinois Urbana compania Explains to new scientists this approach Provided a clearer picture of the Intricate Crystal Marsh beneath the Volcano it is important to note that the Heat generated by the volcano is what Makes the Park's geysers and hot springs Famous so most visitors don't think much About the fact that there's a huge Amount of hot molten rock beneath their Feet however they might want to consider It because the Yellowstone supervolcano Could potentially cause a catastrophic Event in the future the supervolcano Erupts roughly once every 600 000 years And it has been approximately that long Since the last eruption occurred this Suggests that the volcano could Potentially erupt at any moment if it Does it would release a massive amount

Of dust and Ash into the atmosphere Causing the sun to be blocked for Several years additionally it would Create a huge 25 mile wide hole in the Western part of the United States that's Why a team of NASA scientists and and Engineers are currently working on a Plan to stop the eruption by taking away The volcano's heat volcanoes such as Yellowstone take a long time often Hundreds or even thousands of years to Accumulate heat until it reaches a Critical level leading to an eruption However features like geysers and hot Springs can release some of that heat Causing a delay in the eventual eruption NASA has come up with a strategy to Tackle the Volcano by drilling a hole Into its side and pumping water into it As the water flows back out it will be Extremely hot reaching temperatures Higher than 600 Degrees this heated Water will gradually cool down the Volcano the team's objective is to give The process enough time so that it can Extract sufficient heat from the volcano Ultimately preventing it from erupting In addition the scientists have an extra Idea in mind they suggest utilizing the Heated water as a valuable source of Geothermal energy this energy could Potentially be used to power the entire Yellowstone area despite the fact that The volcano poses a threat to to it by

Setting up a geothermal generator Electricity can be generated at a cost Of around 10 cents per kilowatt hour Which is comparable to other energy Sources available naturally this plan Requires a lot of patience and long-term Commitment to successfully remove Sufficient heat and eliminate the Volcano's threat the geothermal Generator would need to operate non-stop For hundreds or even thousands of years However on the positive side this would Result in thousands of years worth of Cost-free geothermal energy NASA is Eager for his proposal to be accepted Promptly they recognize that it's just a Matter of time before the volcano erupts Which makes their idea even more crucial They also aim to extend the Implementation of these generators to Other super volcanoes worldwide their Goal is to have these generators Installed and ready before any of these Super volcanoes choose to unleash their Destructive power new evidence also Suggests that Yellowstone may have Actually erupted twice within a period Of 200 170 years this evidence comes From mud cores that were found off the Coast of Santa Barbara California these Mud cores contain small traces of the Ash from the Yellowstone eruption and They were found far away from the park Near the bottom of the ocean usually

Evidence of the Yellowstone eruption is Found on land in thick layers of rock That have been compacted and weathered Over time this could have made it Difficult to discover the evidence for The Dual eruption the researchers also Found that both layers of Ash coincide With a significant drop in temperature Of about three degrees Celsius they Determine this by analyzing the oxygen Isotopes and fossilized plankton in the Mud course each episode of eruption and Cooling lasted for at least 100 years if This research is confirmed it would mean That Yellowstone is capable of Recharging its eruptions much faster Than we previously thought it would also Challenge the traditional understanding Of volcanic winter which is a period of Cooling caused by a volcano's Ash and Droplets reflecting sunlight the this Traditional understanding cannot explain How a century of cooling could happen After the eruptions moreover some people Believe that the next volcanic eruption In Yellowstone should have already Happened by now and might be very strong Like a magnitude 8 earthquake or even Stronger however it is still not Possible to accurately predict when a Volcanic eruption will occur even though The super volcano that Lies Beneath Yellowstone National Park is currently Not showing any signs of activity

Experts believe that it is still Considered active scientists think that Yellowstone could erupt again in the Future because there is hot liquid or Semi-liquid stuff called magma beneath The ground they see this because there Are hot springs and geysers in the area And they often feel earthquakes there The last time Yellowstone erupted was a Long time ago around 70 000 years ago And it was a flow of lava when a volcano Is really big and has had at least one Eruption that was a magnitude 8 or even Higher on the volcanic explosivity index We call it a supervisor volcano Considering Yellowstone's history and The fact that there is magma present it Is very possible that there will be Another eruption in the future however Both scientists and regular people don't Know for sure when or how it will happen Additionally it's not possible to easily See what's going on underneath a volcano And these eruptions don't happen on a Regular schedule which makes them hard To predict over the past two decades or So scientists have gotten much better at Predicting volcanic eruptions they now Have several signs that they look out For which can give them a clue that an Eruption might be coming soon the Scientists who work at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory yvo use different Monitoring tools to keep an eye on the

Area all the time they are always on the Lookout for these signs that could Indicate an eruption is about to happen Before a volcanic eruption there are two Things that can often happen and give a Hint that it's coming strong groups of Earthquakes happening one after another And the ground changing its shape Quickly these signs are commonly seen in The days and weeks leading up to an Eruption scientists believe that if There is a big volcanic eruption there Will be a lot of intense activity Happening in different parts of the Yellowstone supervolcano this activity Would be much higher than the usual Level of activity they think that in the Weeks months or even years before a Really big eruption there might be signs That show it's going to be a very Destructive eruption in the Yellowstone Area there are often movements in the Ground small earthquakes and other Geological activities because of the Magma underground but as long as these Things stay within normal levels they Are not seen as signs that an eruption Is about to happen the scientists at the Yellowstone volcano Observatory yvo use A bunch of seismic or keep track of the Changes in the ground and the seismic Activity they do this to make sure that They are aware of any unusual or Concerning patterns according to a study

Published in the journal Nature reviews Earthen environment it's really hard to Predict when giant super volcanoes were Really erupt because they can be so Different in terms of how long they last How quickly they start and what causes Them among other things these super big And explosive volcanic eruptions called Super eruptions happen around once every 100 000 years on average and they are Really catastrophic super eruptions can Last anywhere from a few days two weeks Or even decades they can be triggered by Various factors which can differ a lot Between volcanoes experts believe that a New scientific study has provided Valuable insights into the potential Dangers posed by the Yellowstone Supervolcano researchers from the University of Utah have successfully Mapped the underground structure of the Volcano using information gathered from Numerous earthquakes in the region and Around the world by creating a basic 3D Map they have uncovered a massive Reservoir of molten rock in an area that Had not been explored before located Approximately 10 to 30 miles below the Earth's surface this discovery has Significantly improved our understanding Of the volcano's risks Jamie Farrell a Member of the University of Utah's Research team studying earthquakes Explains that the scientists created a

Three-dimensional representation of the Underground structure of Yellowstone by Monitoring earthquakes that occurred Both locally and worldwide he Compares This process to how doctors use x-rays To perform CT scans highlighting the Similarity in capturing images to better Understand the volcanic roots of Yellowstone here's a simplified Explanation when an earthquake happened It starts deep beneath the earth's Surface and moves upwards as it travels Its speed can vary based on the Materials it passes through for example If it encounters hot or partially molten Rock the seismic waves slow down this is Because different materials affect how Fast the earthquake moves this Information is crucial because when you Have the knowledge of where an Earthquake originated and how much time It took to reach the recording equipment You can roughly determine what lies in Between those points by collecting data From thousands of earthquakes occurring Simultaneously in various locations you Can gradually construct a Three-dimensional representation of the Underground terrain Beneath You Yellowstone has a significant number of Seismic recording devices strategically Placed to capture local earthquakes this Is because scientists have a keen Interest in understanding every aspect

Of this super volcano located in the Center of America they want to gather as Much information as possible in case They're a signs of another major Eruption on the horizon however there's A limitation to relying on local Earthquakes for insights they can only Provide information about the ground up To a depth of around 10 miles to gain a Deeper understanding scientists turned To a large-scale initiative called Earthscope this project established Earthquake recording stations across the United States and monitored seismic Activity worldwide by analyzing data From these Global earthquakes occurring At a distance scientists can gather Valuable information about the Earth's Upper mantle which is the hot layer Situated approximately 30 miles or even Deeper below the Earth's crust in order To create a complete map of the magma Sources beneath the Yellowstone volcano The scientists had to explore the middle Section which is approximately 10 to 30 Miles beneath the earth's surface this Area is not fully accessible through Either Global or local earthquakes alone However the researchers found a solution By combining the data from both sources And generating a comprehensive image Tobias dull a seismological researcher From the Swiss seismological service who Was not part of the study explains that

This approach bridged the gap between The shallow and deep sections of the Yellowstone volcanic system it provided A unique and valuable insight into an Aspect that was previously missing from Our understanding it might sound Worrisome but the scientists discovery Of a significantly larger magma Reservoir beneath Yellowstone National Park isn't really unexpected according To sin Hai hung a geologist from the University of Utah who led the mapping Project the quantity of CO2 emitted by Yellowstone on a daily basis is Significantly higher than what could be Accounted for by the known magma Chambers this led many scientists to Anticipate the presence of an additional Larger magma body even though they Didn't have precise information Regarding its size or structure hang Expresses his optimism that the newly Obtained 3D representation of the magma Reservoir will facilitate the Development of more comprehensive models Of the entire Yellowstone supervolcano System by Future research teams this Enhanced understanding will help us gain Insights into the factors that may Trigger another eruption and provide Improved knowledge of the potential Risks and timing associated with such Events that's it for today subscribe to Our Channel and hit the notification
