This cannot be predicted. While Yellowstone has produced several eruptions larger than any seen in human history, it has also produced a number of much smaller eruptions.

What do you think would be the magnitude of Yellowstone eruption?

This cannot be predicted. While Yellowstone has produced several eruptions larger than any seen in human history, it has also produced a number of much smaller eruptions.


What would be the deadliest eruption Yellowstone or toba?

toba


Would building a huge geothermal plant at Yellowstone lower the chances of a future eruption?

No. Chances are it would not affect the chances of an eruption.


How much beforehand would geologists notice that a Yellowstone supervulcano eruption is imminent?

In most cases, geologists would see signs of an imminent Yellowstone Supervolcano eruption weeks or even months beforehand. A geologist who specializes in volcanos would be a volcanologist, who are more apt to recognize the incoming signals.


A Yellowstone eruption would destroy everything within how many miles?

A small eruption would cause the cities 100 miles within the park to be destroyed, with an hour. If the eruption triggers the supervolcano, it can cover two thirds of the United States.


What is the surface movement magnitude and intensity at Yellowstone national park?

The normal surface movement, magnitude, and intensity at Yellowstone National Park varies from about 1.5 to 3.0. These would be barely noticeable by the average person. But the forest rangers and geologists would notice and be aware of any larger movements.


How can the Yellowstone volcano create another Ice Age?

It can't. Although it is an active volcano, below is some information that may help you.Q: How imminent is an eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano?A: There is no evidence that a catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is imminent. Current geologic activity at Yellowstone has remained relatively constant since earth scientists first started monitoring some 30 years ago. Though another caldera-forming eruption is theoretically possible, it is very unlikely to occur in the next thousand or even 10,000 years. Scientists have also found no indication of an imminent smaller eruption of lava.Q: Where would it be safe to be during an eruption?A: For the most likely type of volcanic eruption in Yellowstone, everywhere would be safe except in the immediate vicinity of the advancing lava flow. In the highly improbable event of a large catastrophic eruption, the greater the distance from the eruptive center, the safer it would be. It is impossible to know the effects of the eruption without guessing at the explosivity of the highly unlikely eruption and the total amount of the material erupted.


Why would Yellowstone be potentially more dangerous and explosive than others?

Yellowstone's huge magma chamber underground is a boiling river continually building for a major eruption. Scientists estimate the huge eruption will be so great that it could destroy most of the North American continent.


What will the Yellowstone volcano eruption sound like?

The sound of a Yellowstone volcano eruption would likely be a loud, deep rumbling noise similar to thunder or a freight train. The explosion and release of pressure would generate powerful shockwaves and vibrations, creating a deafening noise that could be heard for hundreds of miles.


Will England be affected by the yellow stone eruption?

Yes, should the Yellowstone super volcano erupt as it has done so in the past, the evidence is that the whole world would be affected.


How would the eruption of the supervolcano in Yellowstone impact Phoenix AZ?

The eruption of a supervolcano in Yellowstone would have global consequences due to the massive amounts of ash and gases released into the atmosphere. In Phoenix, AZ, there could be disruptions in air travel, changes in weather patterns, and potentially a decrease in sunlight due to the ash blocking the sun's rays. It is essential for local authorities to have emergency response plans in place to mitigate the impacts on the community.


How is the government going to prepare us for Yellowstone eruption?

Stock up on dehydrated foods, water, camping supplies, medical supplies, ammunition, clothing, and gas up the truck (jeep if you HAVE one). Head toward the tropics. The Mediterranean might be nice, but you can't drive there from here. Somewhere around the Equator is where you would have the best chance for survival from the imminent eruption of North America's wildest SuperVolcano.
