I’ve lived in Utah most of my life. I’ve been to Yellowstone and learned about the possibilities…I don’t like to think about it. But thank you for helping with my anxiety 😂
The odds of Yellowstone erupting is less than us getting hit by an asteroid. Now I'm curious what would happen if a large asteroid scores a direct hit on Yellowstone.
@Angry Combat Wombat While that's sort of true, it also has to heavily depend on size and what it's made out of. Rocks come at Earth quite frequently, but they're too small to survive the atmosphere, so they just evaporate from the sheer heat generated from the speed. And size would also have to matter on the impact. Let's say a grain of sand was somehow able to make contact from space to Earth at lightspeed, it wouldn't create a giant explosion like a meteor the size of Texas would. It would just make a very, very small hole that's a few miles deep. So honestly, speed isn't just as much of a factor as size, nor material
Me: worries about Yellowstone volcano RLL: The chance of this happening is less then the chance of civilization getting wiped out from an asteroid Me: Worries about the asteroid
@Ekwensu Ocha That is even less likely. Ignoring the obvious "they live in this planet too, and destruction for the sake of destruction helps them in about nothing" that makes that a paranoiod's nut idea worth zero considerations, they'd only manage to do that if literally all of the US's defenses failed. Also, even if it were a ground penetrating nuke, it would do about jack shit. We can't even purposefully dig anywhere near this thing, the outermost layer is several kilometers underground. Good luck finding a non existing nuke with magical penetration, and enough hypothetical yield to do any damage. You have no idea of the scales involved here, be it nukes or how much larger a supervolcano is compared to any of them. This thing would do damage on a planetary scale. We've tested several nukes, even the biggest of them all, and the maximum damage it did to the planet was cause some areas comparable to cities to be radioactive, but otherwise the crust gave zero fucks about it. And of course, even if you found your magic nuke... congrats, you ruined the megavolcano, now it is just a lame one. This thing does all this damage in its super eruptions because it has accumulating pressure for nearly a million years. That is how it builds up so much incredible inhumanly large energy to instantly explode several kilometers of solid rock into the sky. It is a pressure cooker. But what happens if you put a damn hole in a pressure cooker before it builds its critical pressure? That is right, the gases/liquids escape in a much less damaging pressure, if at all. Seriously, you're just paranoid and have no idea what you're even babbling about.
@@louisvictor3473 Remind folks of the super-impact that created the Caribbean. Or other known supervolcano effects. Yeah…the scale is beyond epic. If something made the average temps increase by 10 degrees, it would wipe out all life as we know it, worldwide. His mention that that would cause (only) a 14% crash in economy, seems entirely ridiculously low number, Because of the massive scale, the obliteration of millions if not billions of just humans… Just a single, one-degree average rise in temps, is enough to seriously impact world food supplies. A 10 degree change, effectively destroys life on the planet. Your venting the pressure MIGHT have some merit.
@@1Chimonger I agree this damage calculation makes no sense (second order thinking here is really complicated, but all indications would point to cascading system collapses, it is hard to precise where it would go). But not for the same reason. There is a difference between 10 up and 10 down, specially in this manner. With global warming, the problem is that we just moved it further up without any mechanism to make it back down. With this event, instead of exponentially getting worse, you start at the peak of a very rough year that will kill a bunch of things (incalculable, but there are some educated guesses we can make), but then each year is less severe from the previous as the atmosphere naturally clears out. Important difference is water. Hotter beyond regular bounds, that evaporates more water than the summer heat the ecosystem is adapted to handle, things die. I mean, there are other effects but that is short and bad enough. 10 colder is within normal temperature variance within the year (i.e. things are better adapted to endure that, even if in a more miserable state), and thanks to physics quirks warming is easier than cooling (some organisms not as adapted to the temperatures might still manage a bit better than organisms not adapted to a higher temperature would manage to cope with that). Now, don't get me wrong, it would be fucked up in a massive scale. Just pointing out that we can't compare degrees up and down by a simple numerical comparison.
Man, that's spooky.I had a dream once that Yellowstone erupted and wiped out a third of all life on earth. The entire Westcoast was destroyed along with south America and other areas. I remember the sheer terror I had along with the scale of destruction. It truly was something that was beyond anything I could comprehend. What makes it crazy is that I had that dream before I knew that was even a possibility.
You should do a video on the Taupo Volcanic Zone, and it's calderas and eruptions, one of them that was bigger(Mangakino) than the biggest Yellowstone eruption. New Zealand has probably had more VEI 8&7 eruptions than anywhere else in the world.
Pretty sure Wah Wah springs in Utah was the biggest eruption in history. It’s lesser known than Yellowstone, but that part of the US continent has seen some trauma.
@@MP-et1eu The video relates to Yellowstone, I'm pretty sure Wah Wah Springs isn't anywhere near Yellowstone. And also it wasn't, there were at least five volcanic eruptions that were potentially bigger, at least two for certain.
@@SerEnmei you’re bringing up volcanic eruptions bigger than Yellowstone so am I lol. Wah Wah is considered the second most energetic event on earth since the chicxulub impact.
@@mixilence8275 Well normally I'd say that's fair, though given how much damage the eruption can cause to the planet, namely our ability to survive on said planet, it would stand to reason that unless you live on the complete opposite side of the planet, you'd likely suffer major problems, and some small amount of ash may even come to your nation. If you are on the other side of the planet then it'd still indirectly effect you as there's a number of things that will likely occur, leading to global problems. Though the exact degree of which is only guessed on, as I'd take something of similar size occurring recently enough to know more accurately what would happen. Some think it'd cause an extinction level event for humanity, others that it'd merely wipe out most of the North American continent. But suppose since it shouldn't happen all that soon, it's not something to be concerned about too much, as we're more likely to die from a nuclear winter fallout style due to a future global conflict.
Lake Yellowstone has 4 cubic miles of water. When the caldera starts to quake water drains into the lava chamber. The water superheats turns to super heated steam which expands (1600 to1) adding to the force of the next eruption. More water pours into the chamber causing an even bigger quake until the BIG ONE. What to do? Engineer an emergency lake drain system and prepare for downstream evacuation.
Because Yellowstone is one huge volcanic caldera, IF & WHEN it decides to blow it will take out nearly the entire Northwest. This includes Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Northern Colorado, most of Montana, Eastern Oregon, & possibly a portion of Washington. This volcano had had devastating works before. There will be all kinds of other disasters associated with massive volcanic eruptions.
It happened on 6th of January 2021, 14:00 EST(UTC-04:00) at the Capitol Hill, Washington District of Columbia, United States of America, North America, Americas, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, Observable Universe, Multiverse, Eternityverse.
theres a german/austrian author who based a trilogy on life after the eruption and just near the end of book 3 it was revealed that some maniac scientist actually blew it up on purpose, for a new "good" human civilisation. its a really fascinating concept and i love the trilogy:D (the authors name is ursula poznanski)
I learned that if an asteroid were to hit Earth we would mathematically know where it's going to hit a few months in advance. Giving us time for people to kiss their homes goodbye and move to other parts of the world. Or if it's the ocean to prepare for the tsunami.
I know right. They gotta let me know about these things. So when shes ready to go i can just have some one carnival cannon ball me into it. Go out with a lovely bang 🙃
Several phreatic and phreomagmatic explosions would be occurring on the regular at each hydrothermal feature before the big boom. I imagine we would get several hundred years of small steam explosions and pyroclastic flows first
Yellowstone is NOT classified as "dormant". It is considered an active volcano. The CO2 emissions, geysers, mud pits, uplift & subsidence, etc are testament to the fact that the volcano is very much active, and all of the geologists I worked with considered it such.
Ya, came here to comment that as well. I give him props though for not being like every other doomsayer TH-camr. Saying "we're do for an eruption at any point". Even if we were it won't ever be a super eruption again.
I swear the last 2 people on the planet will be Betty White, and the queen. They'll have a nice quiet talk on what used to be the white house lawn, and laugh.
Scientists/geologists say bombing or drilling into Yellowstone to create a pressure release valve could actually cause an eruption. If we found out it was going to erupt next week I’d take a shot at the bombing idea
The series of events that leads to a supervolcanic eruption at Yellowstone takes many centuries at the very least, more likely thousands of years. The beginning would be a small volcanic eruption, followed by hundreds more. This process hasn't even started, so we are safe for centuries to come.
When Dr Wayne Clark from S California prayed for me, a stream of the Fire of God flowed into me. God added d fire to d golden censer (me) and OVERTURNED it on d earth as in Rev 8. God gave me a vision somewhat similar to Ez 9 and gifted me with the 6 weapons /angels /plagues : wind, water, fire, earth, pestilences and wars (judges 9, d first such retribution of the release of devils causing wars and Americans terrorising Americans was 911). I saw God wielding an Axe devastating man /usa and God told me to command disasters on the usa until compensation paid as his Hand will fight for me against the usa. My enemy is God's enemy. God also asked me to read Deuteronomy showing tt usa is cursed in d City, cursed in the country for doing injustices to strangers and helpless and touching God's anointed King. Like David who was anointed King 3 times, I have been anointed thrice with the anointings of Called, Chosen and Faithful to become a heavenly king, Army of Heaven to strike down d evil nations - monsters great red dragons committing monstrous moral distortions - Rev 17 and 19. Commanding, fire of God produced EMW came forth to carry my commands, form a picture and activated the disasters on the dates i chose, d firsts were hurricane Hugo and St Francisco EQ but for Chinatown to stand. Ordinary fire/electricity can also be used to produce EMW to carry sound and picture but only reproduced in TV. God is a living, eternal consuming fire whose EMW (Hand) can CRAFT good or evil - disasters, death and hell - isaiah 45. God is love and therefore just and being d faithful one (trustworthy and unchanging) fulfilled the prophecy of psalms 18 to make me into David to turn d usa into dust.
The entirety of North America would be affected significantly and so will the rest of the planet, I can't imagine the impact it will have on humanity as a whole
Mount St. Helens erruption was absolutely enormous...learning that a supervolcanic yellowstone erruption would be a million times as big, is kinda hard to imagine. Fascinating.
I remember when Mt. St. Helens erupted. As a kid, i didn't consider the death toll but was completely enthralled by the actual event. A few years ago, i saw a documentary about it. While the death toll was low, those who died, did so in a very horrific way.
@@randyland1113 It would eradicate almost, if not all, life on the surface of the planet. Not unlike the Chicxulub impactor that wiped out about 75% of life on the planet.
Great video and information. One small correction that my Filipino wife brought to my attention is the volcano you have labeled as "Pintabu" is named Pinatubo. Its Tagalog translation means: "Let it grow", with direct effect from humans (according to her knowledge of the language).
it is a great video only its pure speculation because no scientist can predict the magnitude , it could also be a small eruption still doing dmg to the area etc but not as devastating as portrayed this video is the worst case scenario
Honestly, leaving if you're within the blast radius is a pretty bad idea unless you can on a plane and escape said radius before it erupts. If you're within that immediate impact zone, you'd just ve dead before you even realized what hit you, vaporized in a moment with either no pain at all or excruciating pain for like 2 seconds...
Where I do agree with going towards the blast if it’s literally about to happen right then, I also believe in getting away from it because in the video the signs leading up to the actual eruption would take weeks-months before it went off…
That would probably be my grandpa. We live about an hour and a half (driving wise) north of the park, and my grandpa is one of the most stubborn people I've met lol

Me to any states within the Destruction zone of Yellowstone: “I recommend Putting an Alarm system to warn people to get out before the Volcano ever Erupts. You know, the Sirens will go off before the volcano erupts, and these sirens will be activated when their built in seismometers detects huge rumbling in the ground.”
I wonder how it would affect Australia. We would be on the exact opposite side of the world from the eruption, so I don’t think the effects would be that severe. Though I live in Melbourne and as the global climate would cool by 10 degrees temperatures would be sub zero in the winter. I would have to go to sleep wearing a jumper and long pants rather than pyjamas, as our houses aren’t built for that cold of temperatures. Queensland would have a similar climate to what Victoria did before, and they’d probably be fine dealing with rather temperate weather. In regards to food, a lot of the food grown on farms in Victoria can survive in sub zero temperatures, as it’s also grown in Canada and Scandinavia. Though we might need imports from Queensland as well if we don’t have an adequate amount, and they have more land. When Yellowstone erupts just like with Krakatoa in 1883, there’d be a deafening blast that would be heard from all over the world. Almost everyone in North America would go deaf, it would be quite loud in Europe and South America but not as damaging, and in Australia it would probably sound a bit louder than being in the front row of a rock concert. While North America would be severely damaged, every other continent would experience some seismic activity which would be greater than any kind they’ve ever experienced before. Buildings would crumble in North America without doubt, but there might be some damage in Europe and South America too. Most other countries in the world are also reliant on the US in terms of trade and economy, but with the North American continent being geographically degraded we would probably find ourselves in another stock market crash similar to the great depression but worse. Though I do think the world will recover, as it was stated that the global climate changes would last for 10 years. Though it won’t be the same during the aftermath. 1.5 meters of ash isn’t even that deep, but many cities in the US would be damaged to a point beyond repair. The US, Canada, and Mexico would have to rebuild themselves, and the political and economic effects this would cause would be very noticeable globally. It’s definitely not gonna happen in our lifetimes as stated in the video, but it could happen in about 20,000 years from now, though I don’t know if human civilisation will be around by then. So we can just relax and rest easy with our lives knowing this volcano won’t erupt anytime soon.
I feel you did not put enough weight to the jet-stream that usually flows right overhead. In 1980 volcano Cali. had almost NO ash but even the east coast got some.
There’s always a possibility for this to happen in our generation. When people says this kind of stuff is because they have fear of it really happening. No one should ever doubt the power of Mother Nature. Good comment 👍
Honest truth nothing surprises me with stuff like this it's like RWBY volume 8 with Salem's attack and ppl were surprised I didn't even lift an eyebrow cause I had a feeling that Salem was going to do something like that I mean there were clues leading up to that she was up to something and I came to the conclusion that she was going to use an attack nobody would see coming cause ik I would have done something like that if it was me
I respect you so much for mentioning that Yellowstone is highly unlikely to erupt any time soon. Most channels don’t so they can get more attention from scare baiting.
They have set up measuring devices all around though the culdara. and it has risen by a over twelve inches since the devices were placed there. and there has been more sizemic activity there recently. so people shouldn't take it for granted that there's a huge volcano there.
oof yea phoenix and places like that would but northern Arizona in the winter will suck last year it got to 15 degrees in Prescott valley so only 5 degrees would suck Antarctica would really suck though
Unfortunately what will really happen with that big a drop in temperature is that global weather patterns change radically. What will certainly happen is glaciers advancing. The snow cover will also reflect the sunlight and therefore the heat so we will end up with another little ice age. While that will help with global warning in the short term it isn't the way I would choose. There is also no predicting how the weather patterns will settle - they can barely provide a 14 day forecast.
Such a large area has to have weak spots that would release the pressure before the whole volcano blows. It most likely be alot smaller than they are describing. But the ash would be still be devastating.
"Lower than the odds of a civilization getting wiped out by an asteroid." But what if an asteroid directly hits the Yellowstone Caldera? Would the damage be more or less?
That explosion changed the whole scheme of geo physics. Geophysics now state the grand canyon was burnt out by lava flow. All things on the earth are formed cataclysmicly. Standing fossilized forests have been found same as dinosaurs with intact vascular system........using big numbers like 60 million years ago proves utter ignorance and slavery to a close minded education system $$$$ validating placing monetary value on false information.
The largest supervolcano in USA is the Wah Wah Springs caldera in Utah, which once exploded with over 30 times the pyroclastic debris as Yellowstone's largest eruption. Combined with yellowstone, still not the Largest. The biggest supervolcano on Earth was discovered in 2013: the Tamu Massif, with a 4 km height and a 640 km width, a submarine shield volcano located in the Pacific Ocean, east of Japan. The remnants of a supervolcano found in the Gawler Ranges of South Australia drawfs the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest active supervolcano until 2013.
As an underground guy, im a little surprised they haven't drilled it. We call em burp holes to relieve pressure while directional boring. It wouldn't be that hard. I don't know if it'd make a difference though.
16 meters deep of Pumice St Louis 48 meters deep of Pumice Denver. Only way to stop would be to Nuke Yellowstone everyday for a month by burying the Nukes 65 meters.
@@ni9465, I fail to see how that would help an already erupting/about to erupt caldera. If that magma moves, we don't have the technology nor the required energy at our disposal to stop it.

All in all it was really cool to see the guy-zers i cant spell. And the mountains are huge!!!
NASA actually outlined a 4 billion USD plan in 2017 on how the volcano could be cooled down with geothermal energy plants. The plan ended up getting shelved due to the usual concerns, i.e. the price tag, effects on tourism, and potential for error. Which is unfortunate, given that this plan would provide clean energy for the US for tens of thousands of years, and given that negative effects on tourist spots and potential for error can both be minimized with careful planning and R&D.
The US is owned by the oil, gas and coal industries, that alone means it will remain shelved for a long time, because clean, long lasting energy would lose them money.
Just a few addendums to the video: 1. Yellowstone eruptions are more frequent than the video might lead you to believe. The most recent caldera-forming eruption was around 170,000 years ago, which formed the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake, while the most recent major eruption was around 70,000 years ago. Good news? None of these eruptions have been considered super eruptions, and the video is correct in saying the last super eruption was 662,000 years ago (actually 631,000 years ago but the number has been constantly changing.) 2. Only 2 of the 3 major Yellowstone eruptions are actually super eruptions. The middle eruption, 1.3 million years ago, only released enough tephra to be considered a mid-range VEI-7. 3. In recent years, discoveries of more eruptions from the Yellowstone Hotspot, namely the Grey’s Landing and McMullen super eruptions, have shown that supervolcanic activity at Yellowstone is actually decreasing over time. 4. Where the ash travels is heavily dependent on wind direction. The worst case scenario, and the scenario most media and papers go with, is easterly wind. If the wind is more northerly, then Canada would be more affected. Southerly, and Mexico is more affected. Obviously this doesn’t change much for the states in the Mountain West, as they’re close enough to be screwed over in any situation. Overall though, great video.
Believe it or not most don't know there is a Super Volcanoe or even heard of a Super Volcanoe. Go ahead and ask your friends and family I bet most of them won't know
Something that was not mentioned is that with a change over to solar power, electricity generation will be severely reduced. As much as I don't like it, fusion power may need to be part of the power grid as soon as that technology is feasible to scale......just to guard against having no power. Then we need to do what should be done everywhere anyway....Bury the power lines and have the transformers in protected boxes!! On the food production front. Precision Fermentation (which is already impacting the dairy industry) can make vast amounts of food and proteins at scale cheaply. However to make this they need a source of sugar. To guard against mass starvation I think the US should invest in huge indoor farms that can raise this sugar crop. Amazingly, cattails are one of the most dense carbohydrate (sugars) producing crops per acre. Cattails can also purify water. So perhaps these huge farms could be used as waste water purification centers also?
The best part is when Yellowstone’s eruption was quite literally the only thing not exaggerated by the movie. The real thing would be MUCH much worse, just from the immediate explosion alone.
If this happened,not only the damage from the volcano,but with complete blackout,and ash clogging power and filters,you also have the risk of nuclear power plants having meltdowns and blowing up
I went to Yellowstone with my grandpa and my dad. My dad and I were walking around a gift shop, and my grandpa came up to us and said "The volcano we are standing on right now can erupt at any moment, and the surrounding states would be dead within seconds." I was on edge the whole time I was there 😅 I like how you kind of eased your way into saying what would happen, while my grandpa was like here's some anxiety for the next 3 days 🙃
Just an idea but why don’t we drill down into the magma (if we can go 8k to that initial bubble) and do scheduled “decompressions”. Similar to the idea of “controlled burns” we should’ve been doing out west to prevent the massive forest fires in the last few years. An eruption is from a build up of pressure so releasing small amounts to keep it below a threshold sounds like an idea to me. But I’m not a geologist or a genius so…
The supervolcano under Yellowstone actually has the rockie mountains shifting over the top of it because of plate tectonics. It's becoming less and less dangerous and isn't really a ticking time bomb.
If it were to erupt under the Rockies, wouldn't the devestation and debris be worse?. I don't think the mountains could "cork" the explosion. If the magma can shoot through miles of crust, a few more would not do much to stop it

@Angry Combat Wombat While that's sort of true, it also has to heavily depend on size and what it's made out of.

And size would also have to matter on the impact. Let's say a grain of sand was somehow able to make contact from space to Earth at lightspeed, it wouldn't create a giant explosion like a meteor the size of Texas would.

Also, even if it were a ground penetrating nuke, it would do about jack shit. We can't even purposefully dig anywhere near this thing, the outermost layer is several kilometers underground. Good luck finding a non existing nuke with magical penetration, and enough hypothetical yield to do any damage. You have no idea of the scales involved here, be it nukes or how much larger a supervolcano is compared to any of them. This thing would do damage on a planetary scale. We've tested several nukes, even the biggest of them all, and the maximum damage it did to the planet was cause some areas comparable to cities to be radioactive, but otherwise the crust gave zero fucks about it.
And of course, even if you found your magic nuke... congrats, you ruined the megavolcano, now it is just a lame one. This thing does all this damage in its super eruptions because it has accumulating pressure for nearly a million years. That is how it builds up so much incredible inhumanly large energy to instantly explode several kilometers of solid rock into the sky. It is a pressure cooker. But what happens if you put a damn hole in a pressure cooker before it builds its critical pressure? That is right, the gases/liquids escape in a much less damaging pressure, if at all. Seriously, you're just paranoid and have no idea what you're even babbling about.

@@1Chimonger I agree this damage calculation makes no sense (second order thinking here is really complicated, but all indications would point to cascading system collapses, it is hard to precise where it would go). But not for the same reason.
There is a difference between 10 up and 10 down, specially in this manner. With global warming, the problem is that we just moved it further up without any mechanism to make it back down. With this event, instead of exponentially getting worse, you start at the peak of a very rough year that will kill a bunch of things (incalculable, but there are some educated guesses we can make), but then each year is less severe from the previous as the atmosphere naturally clears out. Important difference is water. Hotter beyond regular bounds, that evaporates more water than the summer heat the ecosystem is adapted to handle, things die. I mean, there are other effects but that is short and bad enough. 10 colder is within normal temperature variance within the year (i.e. things are better adapted to endure that, even if in a more miserable state), and thanks to physics quirks warming is easier than cooling (some organisms not as adapted to the temperatures might still manage a bit better than organisms not adapted to a higher temperature would manage to cope with that).
Now, don't get me wrong, it would be fucked up in a massive scale. Just pointing out that we can't compare degrees up and down by a simple numerical comparison.
Man, that's spooky.I had a dream once that Yellowstone erupted and wiped out a third of all life on earth. The entire Westcoast was destroyed along with south America and other areas. I remember the sheer terror I had along with the scale of destruction. It truly was something that was beyond anything I could comprehend. What makes it crazy is that I had that dream before I knew that was even a possibility.

You should do a video on the Taupo Volcanic Zone, and it's calderas and eruptions, one of them that was bigger(Mangakino) than the biggest Yellowstone eruption. New Zealand has probably had more VEI 8&7 eruptions than anywhere else in the world.
Pretty sure Wah Wah springs in Utah was the biggest eruption in history. It’s lesser known than Yellowstone, but that part of the US continent has seen some trauma.
@@MP-et1eu The video relates to Yellowstone, I'm pretty sure Wah Wah Springs isn't anywhere near Yellowstone. And also it wasn't, there were at least five volcanic eruptions that were potentially bigger, at least two for certain.

@@mixilence8275 Well normally I'd say that's fair, though given how much damage the eruption can cause to the planet, namely our ability to survive on said planet, it would stand to reason that unless you live on the complete opposite side of the planet, you'd likely suffer major problems, and some small amount of ash may even come to your nation. If you are on the other side of the planet then it'd still indirectly effect you as there's a number of things that will likely occur, leading to global problems. Though the exact degree of which is only guessed on, as I'd take something of similar size occurring recently enough to know more accurately what would happen. Some think it'd cause an extinction level event for humanity, others that it'd merely wipe out most of the North American continent. But suppose since it shouldn't happen all that soon, it's not something to be concerned about too much, as we're more likely to die from a nuclear winter fallout style due to a future global conflict.

@@typicaltipsrip9664 dont worry if it erupted in our lifetimes it would have been last year.
Lake Yellowstone has 4 cubic miles of water. When the caldera starts to quake water drains into the lava chamber. The water superheats turns to super heated steam which expands (1600 to1) adding to the force of the next eruption. More water pours into the chamber causing an even bigger quake until the BIG ONE. What to do? Engineer an emergency lake drain system and prepare for downstream evacuation.
Because Yellowstone is one huge volcanic caldera, IF & WHEN it decides to blow it will take out nearly the entire Northwest. This includes Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Northern Colorado, most of Montana, Eastern Oregon, & possibly a portion of Washington.
This volcano had had devastating works before. There will be all kinds of other disasters associated with massive volcanic eruptions.

When Dr Wayne Clark from S California prayed for me, a stream of the Fire of God flowed into me. God added d fire to d golden censer (me) and OVERTURNED it on d earth as in Rev 8. God gave me a vision somewhat similar to Ez 9 and gifted me with the 6 weapons /angels /plagues : wind, water, fire, earth, pestilences and wars (judges 9, d first such retribution of the release of devils causing wars and Americans terrorising Americans was 911). I saw God wielding an Axe devastating man /usa and God told me to command disasters on the usa until compensation paid as his Hand will fight for me against the usa. My enemy is God's enemy. God also asked me to read Deuteronomy showing tt usa is cursed in d City, cursed in the country for doing injustices to strangers and helpless and touching God's anointed King. Like David who was anointed King 3 times, I have been anointed thrice with the anointings of Called, Chosen and Faithful to become a heavenly king, Army of Heaven to strike down d evil nations - monsters great red dragons committing monstrous moral distortions - Rev 17 and 19. Commanding, fire of God produced EMW came forth to carry my commands, form a picture and activated the disasters on the dates i chose, d firsts were hurricane Hugo and St Francisco EQ but for Chinatown to stand. Ordinary fire/electricity can also be used to produce EMW to carry sound and picture but only reproduced in TV. God is a living, eternal consuming fire whose EMW (Hand) can CRAFT good or evil - disasters, death and hell - isaiah 45. God is love and therefore just and being d faithful one (trustworthy and unchanging) fulfilled the prophecy of psalms 18 to make me into David to turn d usa into dust.

Me to any states within the Destruction zone of Yellowstone:
“I recommend Putting an Alarm system to warn people to get out before the Volcano ever Erupts. You know, the Sirens will go off before the volcano erupts, and these sirens will be activated when their built in seismometers detects huge rumbling in the ground.”
I wonder how it would affect Australia. We would be on the exact opposite side of the world from the eruption, so I don’t think the effects would be that severe. Though I live in Melbourne and as the global climate would cool by 10 degrees temperatures would be sub zero in the winter. I would have to go to sleep wearing a jumper and long pants rather than pyjamas, as our houses aren’t built for that cold of temperatures. Queensland would have a similar climate to what Victoria did before, and they’d probably be fine dealing with rather temperate weather. In regards to food, a lot of the food grown on farms in Victoria can survive in sub zero temperatures, as it’s also grown in Canada and Scandinavia. Though we might need imports from Queensland as well if we don’t have an adequate amount, and they have more land. When Yellowstone erupts just like with Krakatoa in 1883, there’d be a deafening blast that would be heard from all over the world. Almost everyone in North America would go deaf, it would be quite loud in Europe and South America but not as damaging, and in Australia it would probably sound a bit louder than being in the front row of a rock concert. While North America would be severely damaged, every other continent would experience some seismic activity which would be greater than any kind they’ve ever experienced before. Buildings would crumble in North America without doubt, but there might be some damage in Europe and South America too. Most other countries in the world are also reliant on the US in terms of trade and economy, but with the North American continent being geographically degraded we would probably find ourselves in another stock market crash similar to the great depression but worse. Though I do think the world will recover, as it was stated that the global climate changes would last for 10 years. Though it won’t be the same during the aftermath. 1.5 meters of ash isn’t even that deep, but many cities in the US would be damaged to a point beyond repair. The US, Canada, and Mexico would have to rebuild themselves, and the political and economic effects this would cause would be very noticeable globally. It’s definitely not gonna happen in our lifetimes as stated in the video, but it could happen in about 20,000 years from now, though I don’t know if human civilisation will be around by then. So we can just relax and rest easy with our lives knowing this volcano won’t erupt anytime soon.

Unfortunately what will really happen with that big a drop in temperature is that global weather patterns change radically. What will certainly happen is glaciers advancing.

Combined with yellowstone, still not the Largest.

The remnants of a supervolcano found in the Gawler Ranges of South Australia drawfs the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest active supervolcano until 2013.

Informative.
What about the claims of a super-volcanic eruption in 536AD, Krakatoa maybe?
Researchers say its impact was felt around the globe for years.
“what if Yellowstone blows up tomorrow?”
SCP Foundation: *Preparations intensify*
SCP-1422: ha nope
Throw the lizard at it
Then someone realises that SCP-2000 aka the Deus Ex Machina aka the Civilisation Reset Button is located right in Yellowstone National Park…
@@EonityLuna that’s why I type “preparations Intensify”
@@EonityLuna along with the fact that almost the entire foundation outside of the site at Yellowstone doesn’t even know Wyoming exists
NASA actually outlined a 4 billion USD plan in 2017 on how the volcano could be cooled down with geothermal energy plants. The plan ended up getting shelved due to the usual concerns, i.e. the price tag, effects on tourism, and potential for error. Which is unfortunate, given that this plan would provide clean energy for the US for tens of thousands of years, and given that negative effects on tourist spots and potential for error can both be minimized with careful planning and R&D.
Too costly but we send $Billions to Ukraine and $Billions in weaponry! Congress has its head WHERE THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE AS USUAL!
The US is owned by the oil, gas and coal industries, that alone means it will remain shelved for a long time, because clean, long lasting energy would lose them money.
Interesting.
Bruuuh that would’ve been so cool
Any links to official sources on this plan?
Just a few addendums to the video:
1. Yellowstone eruptions are more frequent than the video might lead you to believe. The most recent caldera-forming eruption was around 170,000 years ago, which formed the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake, while the most recent major eruption was around 70,000 years ago. Good news? None of these eruptions have been considered super eruptions, and the video is correct in saying the last super eruption was 662,000 years ago (actually 631,000 years ago but the number has been constantly changing.)
2. Only 2 of the 3 major Yellowstone eruptions are actually super eruptions. The middle eruption, 1.3 million years ago, only released enough tephra to be considered a mid-range VEI-7.
3. In recent years, discoveries of more eruptions from the Yellowstone Hotspot, namely the Grey’s Landing and McMullen super eruptions, have shown that supervolcanic activity at Yellowstone is actually decreasing over time.
4. Where the ash travels is heavily dependent on wind direction. The worst case scenario, and the scenario most media and papers go with, is easterly wind. If the wind is more northerly, then Canada would be more affected. Southerly, and Mexico is more affected. Obviously this doesn’t change much for the states in the Mountain West, as they’re close enough to be screwed over in any situation.
Overall though, great video.
Probably wouldn't be able to go fishing, that be devastating
Watch this get recommend to everyone when Yellowstone finally blows up
😑
Will anyone even use youtube at all by then?
Blows up a week after being in everyone's recommended 🤣
SERIOUS

"Yellowstone is harbouring a dangerous secret". It's not a secret.
Right everyone know there's a volcano there
😱 They found the secret torture cham... oh you mean the supervolcano?
Ignore everything I just said. 🤣
Believe it or not most don't know there is a Super Volcanoe or even heard of a Super Volcanoe.
Go ahead and ask your friends and family I bet most of them won't know
@@MARZOSIRUS ???, I did that and 3 out of 5 members of my family knew there was a volcano down there, it's not a secret to anybody
@@alexanderthegrrrreat6727 it was a secret from 2 outta five.
Something that was not mentioned is that with a change over to solar power, electricity generation will be severely reduced.
As much as I don't like it, fusion power may need to be part of the power grid as soon as that technology is feasible to scale......just to guard against having no power. Then we need to do what should be done everywhere anyway....Bury the power lines and have the transformers in protected boxes!!
On the food production front. Precision Fermentation (which is already impacting the dairy industry) can make vast amounts of food and proteins at scale cheaply. However to make this they need a source of sugar. To guard against mass starvation I think the US should invest in huge indoor farms that can raise this sugar crop. Amazingly, cattails are one of the most dense carbohydrate (sugars) producing crops per acre. Cattails can also purify water. So perhaps these huge farms could be used as waste water purification centers also?
I find this to be a best case at this point
If Yellowstone blows up tomorrow, there's going to be a lot of buffalo wings scattered about Nebraska and Kansas.
Lets not forget cooked goose too.
Aaaaahahahahaha

"Mt. Pintabu"
That's probably the worst butchering of a foreign name I've ever seen
It’s not even the right word. Pinatubo
@@LordVerdo
How can you "be" such a smartass?
As a Pinoy living in the Philippines, "Mt. Pintabu" is gonna be the most comedic thing I've heard for the entire day 🤣
@@LordVerdo because it's on the video, at 9:42
How can he missed it when at 2:23 the infographics shows the right name of 'Pintabu' lolz
The question I would ask. Is what was the average global temp when the super volcano erupted. And see if that has any correlation.
I chuckled at Pintabu, it sounds cute like a Pokémon. Instead of Pinatubo. LMFAO

"What if Yellowstone blew up?"
Immediate flashbacks to the movie "2012"
Man look on covid in 2020 and this year USA hot,Europe and China in water,man its not going to end soon
The best part is when Yellowstone’s eruption was quite literally the only thing not exaggerated by the movie. The real thing would be MUCH much worse, just from the immediate explosion alone.
Woody Harrelson is still there waiting broadcasting on radio.
Maybe “2012” would answer your question 😅
You'll be sprinting faster than Hussein Bolt.
If Yellowstone blows..its a global ending event.....
Nothing on Earth ends the Earth. End of us? Not likely even. Even if it was the Earth will keep on going.
If this happened,not only the damage from the volcano,but with complete blackout,and ash clogging power and filters,you also have the risk of nuclear power plants having meltdowns and blowing up
Yeah it's crazy 🤯
OH SHI-
I went to Yellowstone with my grandpa and my dad. My dad and I were walking around a gift shop, and my grandpa came up to us and said "The volcano we are standing on right now can erupt at any moment, and the surrounding states would be dead within seconds."
I was on edge the whole time I was there 😅 I like how you kind of eased your way into saying what would happen, while my grandpa was like here's some anxiety for the next 3 days 🙃
lol
You have lost your mind
Leave it to a Boomer to get right to the point. We don't really have any time to beat around the bush! I say this, as a person who is 67 years old...

@@marshawargo7238
Well you are a boomer, just in case someone didn't already let you know that.
Isnt already a proven fact that the magma chamber is spreading out so that an eruption wouldnt happen?
Source?
I think it's either that or the plate is drifting over the chamber to where a giant eruption wouldn't be possible
ok
Yeah but that's no fun
@@RealLifeLore tru
Just an idea but why don’t we drill down into the magma (if we can go 8k to that initial bubble) and do scheduled “decompressions”. Similar to the idea of “controlled burns” we should’ve been doing out west to prevent the massive forest fires in the last few years. An eruption is from a build up of pressure so releasing small amounts to keep it below a threshold sounds like an idea to me. But I’m not a geologist or a genius so…
The supervolcano under Yellowstone actually has the rockie mountains shifting over the top of it because of plate tectonics. It's becoming less and less dangerous and isn't really a ticking time bomb.
a❤¹qq😅
If it were to erupt under the Rockies, wouldn't the devestation and debris be worse?. I don't think the mountains could "cork" the explosion. If the magma can shoot through miles of crust, a few more would not do much to stop it
@@daydreamer8662I believe Yellowstone is the way it is because of a thinner crust. (I could be wrong, I'm no expert)
