The main problem is the tephra emissions. Tephra is essentially the amount of ash emitted and is what defines the size of volcanoes and their eruptions. To be a super volcano you have to have a VEI 8(volcanic explosivity index) 8 eruption and this means at least 1,000 cubic kilometers of tephra emissions. The power of the eruption itself is irrelevant. With super volcanoes the force of the eruptions aren’t usually what people expect. It’s not really an explosion i.e the movie 2012 got it very wrong. They form a caldera which is what is marked in the video for the past eruptions. The rim of the caldera is where the eruptions occur. Basically a fissure opens around its rim. The eruption is like a ring feature essentially while you can still have some eruptions in the middle of the caldera. The caldera is caused by the subsidence of the ground as the underlying magma chamber is emptied.
I came here to say the same thing. USE THE CORRECT SYSTEM, YOU GUYS! We get it, metric is EASIER for the small brains because it counts by 10's. Ours is better because it is CORRECT! It's the system that got us to the moon! And won 2 world wars! Those CALIBERS were based on INCHES... and only the Nazis used the Millimeter. We all know that the 50 Caliber is much better.
But you do: all your units are defined by reference to S.I. (metric) units. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_customary_units And when you use your exotic units it goes horribly wrong: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter So don't be so touchy
I recall a potential for everything within 1,000 miles to be vaporized, or scorched if ya prefer. It'll be generally unsavory over an awful vast area, eventually for the entire northern hemisphere.
Everything within a thousand miles would definitely not be vaporized. The main problem is the tephra emissions. Tephra is essentially the amount of ash emitted and is what defines the size of volcanoes and their eruptions. To be a super volcano you have to have a VEI 8 eruption and this means at least 1,000 cubic kilometers of tephra emissions. The power of the eruption itself is irrelevant.
An eruption is not the main concern it's the magma chamber emptying enough to cause the cauldera to fall into the chamber causing a super eruption so even is there an small lava expulsion it's concerning but not catastrophic.
For the people who can't count: every 500-800 Thousend Years it erupts, which means that it could erupt pretty soon. Only thing about it is thst I am writing this comment without knowing if its a dead/Sleeping volcano 😅
Yellowstone is much larger than that!! It’s caldera alone measures that But the whole volcano is much much larger No one really knows how big g the actual Volcano is But one of Yellowstone Volcano feeder tubs of magma is in the Gulf of California!!!!
We definitely would not all die. Most likely we would have ample warning of increasing volcanic activity unrest. Maybe years of time for evacuations to occur. Worst case scenario we would only have a few weeks warning. Still that’s a lot of time for systemic evacuations to occur compared to most natural disasters.
Then we probably wouldn’t have to worry about the eruption as the entire area will be vaporized and we would be worrying more about the radiation. All jokes aside the US geological survey has stated that a Nuke wouldn’t cause an eruption as the Yellowstone volcano itself has experienced greater releases of energy in the form of earthquakes.
Imagine if someone wanted to make us suffer. The USA. Just hit that with a big explosion. I wonder if that could wake the volcano. Just saying hypothetically.
There is a large mantle plume under the north America plate. The North American plate moves over the plume while eruptions happen periodically. You end up with a long line of eruptions. There’s a trail of them stretching all the way back to what is today Nevada. It’s very similar to how the Hawaiian island chain forms.
Imagine the skies up north…

Pretty sure everyone that goes to yellowstone knows that there's a massive volcano underneath it
60 km x 29 km = 37 mi x 18 mi
8 km deep = 5 mi deep
🇺🇸🏈🦅💯‼️
Most people don’t know. Because we weren't here 2.1 million years ago, don't believe everything you hear.
bros onto nothing
All it takes is a look into the rock layers. Complete idiot.
Starlight up. How do they know 🤔
Most people don't know? Still?
I would say the majority definitely know. 😂
Everybody knows
Good! Call it a do over
Yea! Let's make it worse!
Someone tell these people America doesn't use the metric system
It's about..
37 miles long
18 miles wide
5 miles deep and would spread in a radius of 60 miles
I know it sucks but thank goodness Siri always knows the answers.

So don't be so touchy
Everyone knows what a meter is
It's been erupting all across the western US
Another one for apocalypse bingo.
We don't need to worry

What is a kilometer? Could you please speak American? Thank you.
I’m in Australia I’m way to safe yayayayyayyayyayayyayyayayyayayyayayyay
Wow😊
wich song used? what name music?
So people in the south will be okay thank God
Nice
I live in salt lake city
Good to know
Haha righr I live in nj and I’m safe :D
I live in bozeman I’m dead
The yellow stone has erupted many years ago!
Yes we do know that 😢
Millions of years ago lol
KILOMETERS??????
It’s Boi-see
I would be moving to North Carolina to live with my sister. I live in Denver. I am very aware of the danger
Actually Hawaii would be a better option. All that ash is going east.
Im pretty most people do know
"Most people don't know"
Yeah, and the Earth isn't round.
If Yellowstone goes up, the entire planet is screwed.
Me who lives in balkans: *yawn*
Ahhhhhh 😭😭

Its reserved for Wrath of GOD
"Instantly buried in magma". That's....that's not how volcanoes work. Even the supersize ones outside of Boy-seee.
So it has a volcano, but thats all we know about it.
There isn’t enough melted Magma in the system to even hypothetically produce an eruption.
And if it did, it wouldn’t be that large.
Im pretry sure i heard somewhere thay its chances of erupting is very slim
We dont need to worry about it. If it does were all fucked.
Will I die ? I live in NJ but the shii says ash will be near me ….
Most people do know
The entire caldera could never erupt at once
This is America -we go by miles, not meters
He's trying to confuse that poor volcano......
MOST PEOPLE DO KNOW GIVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
For the people who can't count: every 500-800 Thousend Years it erupts, which means that it could erupt pretty soon. Only thing about it is thst I am writing this comment without knowing if its a dead/Sleeping volcano 😅
I'm pretty sure that it is still active
Yellowstone is much larger than that!!
It’s caldera alone measures that
But the whole volcano is much much larger
No one really knows how big g the actual Volcano is
But one of Yellowstone Volcano feeder tubs of magma is in the Gulf of California!!!!
So China and Russia pray everyday
Pretty sure most people know that
We would all die
Half the US wouldn't have a home. I think modern technology might be able to give every1 a fair enough warning

What if Yellowstone was nuked?
Then we probably wouldn’t have to worry about the eruption as the entire area will be vaporized and we would be worrying more about the radiation.
All jokes aside the US geological survey has stated that a Nuke wouldn’t cause an eruption as the Yellowstone volcano itself has experienced greater releases of energy in the form of earthquakes.
LMAO
what the fuck is a kilometerrrrrrr
Everyone knows this it’s taught in schools
sadly all animals would be killed and died in a terrible way
Kilometers is pronounced kilo-meters, same as kilo-grams.
Not ka-lom-it-ters.
Good point. Bizarely though almost everyone pronounces it the second way in the EU.
Who doest know?
This is too long. And your voice is not different enough to keep my attn. Cut 1/2 of that out. !!!!!
I've been to Boise, Denver, and Salt Lake City: oh well 👋👋👋
Everybody knows
Not millions
Everyone knows it
Everyone knows this by now. Not to mention, this is the 1000th video made on this topic. Come original.
I don't know how you could possibly post this actually narrated and not feel like a complete idiot
Everyone knows.
That’s not that big really
The world world be gone🥵
reminds of Movie 2012
2012 got it very wrong. If anything 2012 made it seem worse than it actually would be. It also wouldn’t be like an explosion like shown in the movie.
I've been to Boise, nothing would be missed
Nice because I don’t live in central United States only nerds live there
I can confirm that we are all nerds here in the US.
Imagine if someone wanted to make us suffer. The USA. Just hit that with a big explosion. I wonder if that could wake the volcano. Just saying hypothetically.
Everyone knows this and quit talking in metric
Not everyone outside America knows this and that’s why we are using the Metric cuz it’s used globally
@@VisotCL but we are better than everyone else 🇺🇸
Why did it erupt in different places or did I just misunderstand the illustration?
I believe it was with the time difference and the shift in tectonic plates, but not 100% sure
It’s a big volcano and you can’t predict where it will exit the surface.
There is a large mantle plume under the north America plate. The North American plate moves over the plume while eruptions happen periodically. You end up with a long line of eruptions. There’s a trail of them stretching all the way back to what is today Nevada. It’s very similar to how the Hawaiian island chain forms.
