Same. Once we got to the expert that talked about how pyroclastic flows have boiled the water inside of peoples cells to the point that their brains exploded out of their skulls I knew I had made the right click.
Nope, we can easily survive, it might kill a lot of people but we are the best creatures on the planet for surviving. We can grow food inside easily, and wind power is easy to generate and the best form of power, and it would be windy alright.
Im a lone wolf biker have been all my life. Never in a group or club. I do charity rides. But at 65 and retired i just love to ride. I been through Yellowstone twice. Such a mysterious place. You can almost feel the power beneath your feet. And yet a very breathtaking scenery. And i really have to give a huge thank you to all the staff that protect and serve your needs. A must see for all. I will return again some day.
I have to imagine that it is a way more beautiful riding through that area instead of driving through it. Just having that connection between you and the road and feeling every bump and everything…I’m sure most people wouldn’t even think much about the difference in the experience between riding and driving. And although I’ve never rode through Yellowstone, I know the feeling of riding a bike on an open road. You have so much more of a connection to everything around you when you ride a bike.
Welcome to the end of the world,'' SMOKE SO THICK U CAN'T SEE IF IT IS DAY OR NIGHT FOR DAY'S SOME PLACES WEEK'S EVEN MONTHS HELL ON EARTH AND PEOPLE WILL GO N U T S!!!???
When ash spews from a volcano, it was once rock which has been baked at thousands of degrees. All water has been driven from the molecular nature of the rock, and like concrete, when it settles and gets wet it will once again reform the molecular structures of rock and solidify. In other words, the ash which coats the lungs turns to concrete. Painful is putting it mildly.
yeah, best to hold your breath when opening bags of cement or anytime you cut stone. You could get silicosis. Any rock dust you breath does not come back out. permanently in your lungs.
U can in fact actually get it out but it's not exactly easy r fun . Involves taking a medication like ingredient which is made from volcanic ash believe it or not. Electricly charged ions which attach to the opposite changed particles and allows it to be moved and passed through the digestive systems. Its not a cure all , nor any perfect science but it can significantly decrease the amounts and keep them somewhat under control. But yeah it's basically impossible to get out. Just like asbestos, it lodges in the lungs and is a nightmare getting cleaned up.
What most people don't realize is that Yellowstone has had over 100 eruptions since its last cataclysmic eruption. Almost all of those eruptions were relatively small eruptions where the impacts were localized to mostly the immediate Yellowstone region. We're finding that's the way most supervolcanoes are. These supervolcanoes tend to produce a lot of activity between cataclysmic eruptions that's not cataclysmic at all!
I remember the effects of the Mt Penatubo eruption in 1991 that I observed in East Central Illinois. For the rest of the summer there was a grey halo around the sun. What I noticed happened one “sunny” day as I worked on my cultivator on my driveway. I had laid a wrench in the gravel as I worked. Normally when you tried to pick up the wrench lying in the sun with a bare hand it would be uncomfortably hot but when I picked it up it was barely warm.
No. Mt.St Hellens blew out sideways whereas Mt Penatubo blew vertically with enough force to put ash up into the stratosphere where it stayed for a longtime. Not much precipitation that high up.
Seeing actual footage of Mount St Helens blowing half of the mountain apart blows my mind, guess I’m lucky living in the uk, no volcanos no earthquakes, not big ones anyway, no crazy weather tornadoes etc, no tsunamis 😅😅
The mountainous region of the UK's northwest are the remnants of a supervolcano to put Yellowstone to shame. The stone of the hills/mountains are the solidified lava tubes of a volcano that was last active during the time of the dinosaurs.
I know right. And I live in Washington State. Was only 3 months old when it happened and grew up in Puget Sound. We also have Mount Rainier and Mount Baker as well.
By the way, the supervolcanic eruption 74.000 years ago was not on the "Island of Toba", it happened on the island of Sumatra and what remains of it is Lake Toba.
I just looked up the Lake Toba on google maps. The thing is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide! It must have been some show when that volcano erupted. 🌋🌋🌋

Can not count how many times I visited Yellowstone. But YS is always changing from quakes and movement under it. I was lucky to witness Mammoth hot springs in its glory before it shut off from a quake. I will not worry of eruption till YS lake spills over from uplift.............. Then I will vacate quickly.
Around the 27:30 mark in this video, you see a plane on its tail. That plane was on the Cubi Point Airfield at the Subic Bay Naval Station, Republic of the Philippines. My Marines and I were a mile due south of this in a Quonset hut in the Upper MEF camp.We had evacuated 80k from Clark Airbase and Subic and set up a 10km exclusion zone around Mt. Pinatubo. This picture was taken as we were getting our asses handed to us by not only an eruption 10x the size of Mt. St Helen that was 25miles to our Northeast but we also got hit with a typhoon coming in from our southeast 7 weeks of 18 hr patrols, no clean drinking water or breathing protection later, we were finally relieved and floated back to Oki. Make a documentary of that. Doc, HMG platoon, 1/24
That sounds like literal hell on earth. Thank you for service. Most will never know or appreciate the hell you've endured. And with no credit whatsoever.
Biscuit Bay did the same thing back in ‘09. It wasn’t an “eruption”, it was just a hydrothermal explosion. Underground water was heated very quickly and a burst of scalding steam and water exploded. Smaller ones, like the Norris Geyser basin on April 15, 2024, happen all the time from a geological perspective. While the Biscuit basin explosion was quite large, it wasn’t anything that scientists haven’t expected and possess no threat to anyone outside a few miles from the explosion.
I concur in general ..yet expanding steam in a closed cylinder.. That's a piston...until it blows out the top...luckily I configure becoming fearfull will have zero affect...effect ?
@@josepablolunasanchez1283 Underreporting? They always do. Its an odd thing because post Katrina, the government generally overrates hurricanes by one category - cherry picking gust data instead of strictly using average eyewall. Regarding earthquakes, there is some kind of area/instrument averaging usgs always does, which knocks down numbers. Northridge quake for example, was an 8.9 on one measurement - but that was a limited area, and they tossed that number completely under the bus in favor of the average of a number of other sensors to burp up the .6.7 bullshit. So they disregard wave theory, which... we don't have to. If anyone has ever been to the beach and that day had swells coming from two directions, the concept visual is on display: where waves merge, the peak rises up at that intersection to present a larger wave height/amplitude. Same concept applies to earthquake forces redirected in part by geometric subsurface crust features. And sometimes, features may align to provide some attenuation above and beyond basic distance losses pertinent to geological composition. It is a complicated business - even where seismic survey data from purposed testing already is in hand..

well my advice if you hear on the news yellow stone is erupting just accept it because it's due to erupt sometime soon so it will happen unfortunately due to natures time table
Well the rich and powerful elite are safely in charge. The rest of us are just expendable peons. Any disaster that strikes won't affect them, because they have luxury bunkers that can protect them from anything.
If the aviation industry advanced at all planes would have dimples like golf balls to increase strength, reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and stabilize flight. Our fastest craft resembles the peregrine falcon . The peregrine falcon is the fastest dive bombing bird. The golf ball has dimples like a peregrine falcon and every other bird that has ever flown . Birds are perfect but planes and humans are not so we say no catastrophe goes to waste because they're all engineered in a way good watches have capacitors not batteries unfortunately God is for lithium miners to blame for California falling into the ocean 🙏.
I remember that earthquake very well as it was when my Boy Scout group was camping at Hebgen Lake near ground zero. Myself and a friend decided at the last minute not to go on the outing. My friends were on the side of the lake where the water rose and invaded the campsite. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but had an interesting time there. Years later I was on a Uni trip to Quake Lake, to view differentt areas as to the destruction caused by the quake. Unbelievable! I grew up in Bozeman, not far from the Park. We have a saying about the volcano when it eventually blows, there goes the neighborhood.
I live in Belgrade. I met a man that was a geology student in Yellowstone when it hit. He had some interesting stories. Watching steam blowing out of a signpost that was rotting from the inside out. He said back then at the painted pots people could park really close to the pots and even sleep in their cars or a campground. He said everything there was covered in a foot of mud that blew out of the pots.
One of the roads leading to mt st Helens has a two story A frame house where only a little bit of the roof is still above ground. The other 12 or so ft of it was buried from the mud flow from the eruption miles away. Entire groves of trees layed over perfectly from the blast. Acres and acres of laid over trees. A miracle more people weren't killed.
More people tried hard to be. God they sure, suuure wanted to be. They sued the governor for not letting them be killed, then after not being killed, they sued the governor for trying to kill them. Morons
I love how at 13:29, it shows Yellowstone erupting, and then a couple park rangers putting up a road closed sign. Like there would be a road left to drive down.
@@nmstrangerI think YOU need to rewatch it lol. There’s literally scenes of Yellowstone exploding before and after the scene with the road closure sign and no mention of it being weeks before. You’re probably thinking of the part later on in the video where they use that same footage again.
@@Gubbins_McBumbersnoot i did and u just wrong. Now stop looking real ignorant and rewatch it lol. It's a scene of the evacuation BEFORE the explosion. It's ok to be ignorant but once corrected u still think it you are now dumb and no excuse for that. It's a scene from before the explosion. It didn't take place DURING the explosion. It's explained the scenes later in the video for fucks sake
The awesome amount of sheer destructive power that a small volcano has is humbling. The thought of one the size of Yellowstone erupting truly makes me feel panicky, tiny, and helpless on the planet.
Didn't watch this one watched nick zenters, Supervolcanoes in the Pacific Northwest he has another one as well. Lets put it this way if you are in the USA and it goes up don't bother packing, just say your prayers. However there are some other supervolcanos on the other side of the planet prolly be the same result depending which one.
We now know that the whole West Coast and heartland gets covered in Ash from Yellowstone, even down into Mexico and up into Canada . And they've been able to map the magma chamber underneath it and there are at least 10 previous eruptions over the last 500,000 yrs. that make a trail. I saw this when it first came out. Excellent use of the newest technology they had. (There are tens of thousands of people who have lung issues that they don't know about. Even a person with normal lung capacity and tissue would be in danger of having lung failure. Please remember, if you're ever stuck out during one of these to have something over your face. if it's not an n95, wet whatever kind of material you have and put over your nose and mouth and wear protective goggles. Ash from Yellowstone is like ground glass.)
That doesn't make sense, as the prevailing winds are from the west and would move the ash cloud towards the east. All weather systems in the us move in this direction even if they come from the cold north, or warmer south. The ocean winds only go offshore when a big system is brewing, then back to onshore again. The guy in the video said the most recent eruption was .6 million years give or take 100,000.
@@ShirleyDrake-xx2csduh that's how we saw it...... some people....... I just can't get over the stupidity of humans..... Why make the comment "someone filmed the buffalo" ?
This presentation is rich in depth, and I am grateful to the producers for making it. However, it is not long enough to address a myriad of other likely events that could take place during and immediately after an explosive eruption. For example, the Yellowstone Caldera is a neighbor to a number of unstable seismic faults that run adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, from south of Los Angeles all the way up to Vancouver/British Columbia. Could these be triggered by a massive event at Yellowstone? And what about parts of our national nuclear arsenal housed in silos throughout the lands east of the Rocky Mountains? Would they survive, or would they also explode and further damn the human race?
That's a great thought experiment. I guess it's my knowledge to think that it could in no way set off the nukes unless they are armed. I never thought of the fault lines though. You think it'd be able to "shake" through the rockies enough to cause a slip in the plates?
That is a good question, I think if the cascadia or even mabe the san Andreas fault goes it could set the yellow stone off, we are over do for both faults
As a former nuclear weapons specialist in the military I can assure you if the volcano goes off the missiles in the area will not explode. There are a number of safety measures in place that aren't public knowledge in addition to the fact they have to be armed to explode. Having said that and having no experience in geology other than being an avid fan and student for decades, I think you can easily and safely assume a super volcanic eruption in Yellowstone WILL affect the fault lines on the entire west coast. There are several documentaries that address this.
I also believe, with reasonable certainty from having watched many documentaries on a Yellowstone eruption, that if the volcano did erupt, and it WILL at some time in the future but that could be thousands of years from now, even if the fault lines were triggered and the weapons did go off, I'm not sure anyone would take a lot of notice. We would be experiencing much worse things at that point, all over the country. Kind of like leaving the stove on while the house is burning down. Wouldn't worry too much about the stove.
@WTFMIKE Good point on the nukes. If they're still in place, they're probably disarmed. On those major fault lines, I think they'd react. They're quite unstable. And remember, the seismic universe runs far underneath the land we stand on. I think I'll dig out my map on tectonic plates and fault lines and see if there's any connection.
I was in the big 1959 earthquake. We had just seen old faithful, which wasn't faithful for the first time. I was terrified there was going to be a volcano soon and my sister calmed me by explaining an earthquake was a different thing than a volcano. Next time we talk, I'll have to ask her if she knew the potential for a volcano. 69 people died and we were trapped for 3 days because the side of the mountain with the roads fell down.
This isn't quite as bad as VHS. Broadcast quality in the 80s (and into the 90s) was 525 lines tall (only about 500 or so were visible). VHS recorded at half that resolution.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0 Hang on, is this the being who's modern day disciples are statistically more likely to be child molesters than any other profession? I don't think all those kids abused by the clergy (male and female) in Irish, church owned and run orphanages, are going to agree with you. Or how about the Vatican (and the - many - Popes) knowing about the abuse by priests and nuns, yet still sent them to 'third world' countries where they could continue their abhorrent behaviour without oversight nor scrutiny? Religion is corrupt and the route of all evil, not our salvation from it.
A "space dedicated channel" is a dedicated channel that is also a space channel. That's different from what you tried (and failed) to write: a "space-dedicated channel" with the hyphen.
Mentioned at the very beginning, the bison that died immediately brought to mind John, Ellen, Miju, and Oksi. I've never been fully convinced it was regular heatstroke alone.
The catch is...Yellowstone is also on the continental divide which suggests that the magma pockets could be interconnected to earthquake fault lines throughout all of North America and potentially South America also. It is my belief as a geo-engineer that the caldera at Yellowstone going off would set off a network of volcanos throughout all of North America along with all of the earthquake fault lines going as high as 10.0 on the Richter scale.
You're a "Geo Engineer" awesome, I have two Geo convertibles, one is a 93 and one is a 94, 3 cylinder, 5 speed standard transmissions, awesome cars, I'm just being stupid, I agree with your comment, I also think it would trigger many other geological events
The Supervolcano movie (docudrama) is also worth watching (and available on TH-cam) - my husband shows it to his first year Geology classes and makes a point of pointing out the political interference with the scientists.
44:42 Nice breakdown, very reassuring. Learned some good stuff from this video, chief among them is don't bother building a bunker, not unless you live within like an 800-900 mile away window. XD although I live in Denver, so Run don't walk.
Gaseous volcanic fumes are extremely corrosive, poisonous, and denser than the surrounding atmosphere. They smother the immediate area, as well as collect in and flow downhill into depressions and along valleys. It amazes me that people still climb in and around active volcanoes. Including Yellowstone.
That's an easy one. Thousands/Millions of years ago when the tar pit was probably much bigger than it is today, Animals may have confused it with a watering hole, wandered in and sinking in the tar. As they were sinking their preditors saw them as an easy meal, not realising what lay ahead. They too wandered in for their "easy meal" and themselves became stuck. Over many millennia loads more animals made the fatal mistake of getting too close to this natural trap and as such the tar pits has become a grave for anything from Insects to large Prehistoric Animals, such as Wholly Mammoths, Sabre Toothed Tigers, to name but two! Have a Nice Day and the Videos on the Tar Pits can be found On - Line.😊
51 commercials in a 50-minute video, are you shitting me, it's a good thing TH-cam allows us to skip commercials otherwise I wouldn't watch it at all. And yes, I skipped all 51 of them.
Just get TH-cam Red. I've had it for years. It blocks all ads, gives you access to tons of extra content, including free movies, and allows you to close out the screen or lock your phone and still listen to videos. It's definitely worth it, in my opinion.
"Regular" volcanoes don't always signal an imminent eruption, such as the deadly eruptions of Japan's Mt. Unzen & New Zealand's White Island; both of which erupted with no warning. One WOULD expect a supervolcano to give warning, as Italy's Campi Flegrei is currently doing. Still, the signs may be subtle, spread out over extended periods of time & great distances within & around a caldera. Each volcano is different, & even dormant ones can suddenly become active with a boom. Bottom line: any volcano which is not confirmed extinct can erupt at any time, & I wouldn't even trust the extinct ones. There's STILL molten rock beneath them.
Sort of. The most recent eruptions at both Unzen and White Island didn't give an *immediate* warning, but it was absolutely known to volcanologists monitoring them that they were very active and that an eruption could occur at any time. Yellowstone, meanwhile, shows absolutely no indication that an eruption of any size could occur at any time in the forseeable future, much less in the immediate future.
@@zackakai5173 Well, that's the thing about "active" volcanoes. There's most usually SOME type of activity going on - venting, tremors, ground deformation, etc. These types of indicators show that they ARE active, & can go on for yrs. People begin to take such indicators for granted, until sadly, in rare instances, those are the only indicators the volcanoes give before an eruption. As I said, one WOULD expect significant upticks in activity from a supervolcano prior to an eruption; but every volcano is unique. Yellowstone has its magma chamber approx. 5-6 mi. beneath the planet's surface. Also, in recent yrs., volcanologists have discovered a much larger magma reservoir approx. 100 mi. beneath the chamber, & conduits feeding from the deep reservoir to the relatively shallow chamber. It's possible the chamber is drawing from the reservoir slowly, with little to no indications on seismometers. Certainly, when the upper chamber reaches critical mass & magma begins rising to the surface, we might expect changes to become apparent. Still, the question is, how MUCH warning, & will we have time? Thanks for your considered reply.
If there are earthquakes happening, it is entirely possible to tell how molten the magma chamber on a caldero or caldera system is, and it is known not a volcano cannot erupt unless the magma chamber is at least 50% molten, as far as anyone can tell, the magma chamber at Yellowstone is I think 5% molten at most. As far as I can tell, at least 95% of the earthquakes at Yellowstone National park are caused by water slipping through existing fault lines, allowing the rock to more easily slide around, which is what these earthquakes are. Magma based earthquakes are very different because they do not happen along existing fault lines. They will happen in areas where there are not known existing fault lines and the earthquakes will be relatively centralized instead of happening in a relatively large area, potentially even along an entire fault line depending on how much water there is. What was happening in June? As far as any scientists are able to tell would be a bunch of water percolating into the ground from snow causing way more earthquakes than is regular because there's just a lot more water in the ground. If you want the most accurate website for information around any volcano in the US, usgs.gov is probably going to be your best source. It takes information from both scientists that are employed by the government and a bunch of independence that share their information, and also contains a lot of very fun information about basically anything geology related across the entire US. I don't know if it includes Hawaii and Alaska though and I'm too lazy to figure it out
A Super Volcano is usually defined as a VEI8 volcano - over 1000 cubic kilometers of material ejected. The last VEI8 eruption on earth occurred about 26,500 years ago in Taupo New Zealand. This event ejected about 1,170 km3. Smaller than Toba, but still in the super volcano range!
Apparently Toba almost made ancient man go extinct from the nuclear winter it created. Approx 74 thousand years ago. It might be set to go off every so often like Yellow stone.
Wow i knew lake Taupo was a super volcano but interesting. I live just up the road and was working during Ruapehu's two eruptions in Taupo it was the amount of dust that covered trucks coming through Desert Road that was amazing.
Love this! It reminds all of us that, as much as we'd like to think so, Nature is in charge, not us. Yellowstone will do what it's been doing for a few million years and we'll be here and gone in the blink of an eye. Yellowstone is incredible in its natural diversity, some of which had to be re-introduced from the hubris of humanity. It will erupt sometime in the near future according to its own wonky schedule and there will be a lot of death and mayhem to clean up. We'll see starvation on a mass scale and those who survive will have to start growing their own crops and go into husbandry. We'll have to learn skills to survive or we'll die. As for the park itself, most of it will be buried under a huge amount of volcanic outpouring. Money will no longer be of use because we'll all be in the same position. If there are no apples to buy, money won't make food happen. Isn't that a refreshing thought?
I was a kid living in eastern Washington when St.Helens erupted. Remember that day very well. Never seen clouds like that. They were tar black. Looked like something out of an "end of the world" movie. By late afternoon the ash was falling so heavily that i could not see the porchlight when i turned it on. It was only about a foot to the side of the door. It was crazy spooky.
OMG I came here to say something about the quality of this video but I just read your comment and now I completely do not want to say anything bad about this video. It was educational and I love you positive attitude.
As a degreed geologist (BU ‘89), I have had a sick fascination with Yellowstone and the New Madrid fault. Having grown up suffering decades of heartbreak regarding my Chicago Cubs, I decided that if they won, the end of the world is next. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they won in 2016, because look what happened as a result.
I really enjoyed listening to the scientists that created theories and their research to test the theories. I think that tracking down a guy who saw something in 1960 something and hearing it from the horses mouth is really engaging. The video and audio presentation was great too! When it started the sound simulation of a super eruption, I had just turned on my car and it transferred to my car speakers. It sounded so very much like the first earthquake I experienced, it was very realistic. I think my car was shaking. 😂 At the conclusion am I the only one thinking, “Great! I get to starve slowly over the course of months or years! Yea! I’m not going to spend weeks wracked with pain slowly suffocating. Or maybe I’ll move to Wyoming….😂😂😂😂
@@richardsparks4207 Stop being such a Cold War baby. 😂😂😂😂 It’s funny, kids nowadays face many things I never had to, but my generation dealt with the end of the human race at any given time quite well, I think.😂
It's not the same, though. You can only do the comparison on energy released. A nuke that big, would do little, compared to an eruption. A nuke releases all its energy in an instance, in a very concentrated point.
If governments were still chasing the biggest nuclear bomb idea they could make one bigger I think, if they crack nuclear fusion and that goes wrong, or right if they were making it into a weapon the whole planet could be cosmic debris.
Man was able to create an explosion 50 times larger than some super eruptions, I've only seen the first couple minutes of this video but the fact that it says a super eruption is exactly this much power or whatever, That is a massive red flag cuz no two volcanic eruptions are exactly the same, also if we assume it was 50 times more powerful than Hiroshima, The Soviets produced a bomb well over 200 times more powerful than what the Americans dropped on Hiroshima. Tzar Bomba was a 50 megaton air dropped nuclear bomb, and that 50 megaton variant was a test just to see if this was even practical to make and if it was how dangerous it would be because they were not able to guarantee the pilots survival, It was originally intended to be a 100 megaton behemoth (so almost a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima)
Yellowstone isn't the only super volcano we need to worry about, not even the only one in North America. Canada has a sleeping giant no one speaks about. And there are others throughout the world
There are only a couple of real supervulcanoes all over the world. The most dangerous is currently the campi phlegrei near Naples, Italy. Lots of quakes around magnitude 3-4 in the last couple of days.
OK here's the short version him and a buddy were lumberjacking on the mountain that day. He said the ground started rumbling. Then they heard a huge explosion. So he said him and his buddy ran down the mountain as fast as they could. With a wall of fire and smoke he said what looked like a Grey avalanche with fire mixed in. He made it to safely they don't know were his buddy ever ended up.
My spirit & soul belongs to Wyoming & Yellowstone, but im an older lady. now with that being said theres nothing i wouldnt do to work in her great park. We lived in Wyoming for 9 years & every day i dreamed of going to Yellowstone to work there. If theres a job that yous feel like i could do even with a bad spine top to bottom, you just say & ill be there.
Night audit at one of the hotels? It's not terribly physical, though you will be expected to move around occasionally and help with guest questions and such, and usually this person helps put out the breakfast. A friend of mine used to do this and about 75% of his shift was sitting on his bum browsing the internet listening to a printer go wiiiirrrrr.
The final statement "where and when" is honest, I am not worried about the next eruption, if it happens, then it happens. Just stay prepared for any disaster, set a good mindset, not to panic. Things can and may get worse before they get better, but the best plan is to live for the day, and keep God, our Heavenly Father at the forefront of your life and thinking. Have a blessed and great day.
The exclusion zone on Monserrat covers more than half of the island to this day - nearly 30 years after the eruption of 1997, and Mt St Helens' surroundings are still considered unsafe.
Yea I was watching thus and my 9 year old grandson was watching over my shoulder. He had nightmares and their mom told me not to let them watch anymore . I told my grandsons no more watching over granny's shoulders
Fabulous documentary, very interesting and scary possibility. Thanks for making such a knowledgable and informative video that was great to watch and kept me in my seat.

This is why we've modified a cave system near us for shelter and growing some food. It has an underground spring as well. Good luck to the rest of you.
The winter after Mt. StHelen's erupted about 75 miles away in Ellensburg, Washington it was considerably warmer. The Mount actually blew twice. In Kittitas County there was about 2 to 3 inches of ash everywhere.
One thing that I like about this Naked Science video is that, unlike History Channel videos, the people being interviewed are scientists whose expertise is relevant to the topic being discussed.
I used to live on an active, erupting volcano on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Lava paths are pretty predictable and most people never have any issues. I never did, and this thing was continuously erupting for years. I lived a few miles from the center of it. I’m guessing they are predicting this to be a tiny bit more violent.
Don't worry Biden send you 600$ sorry down from 700 inflation and You be happy plus Ukraine needs another 100 billion so you got no bitch obiden has been more than a great leader as a matter of fact look how great were doing.COME ON MAN LMFAO
different types of volcanos. some eruptions are just magma welling out ie hawaii, others like krakatoa or mt st helens are like a cork popping off, they just go boom sending out pyroclastic flows which are superheated gas and ash that buries everything. it was the flows that covered pompai so fast that people barely had time to react and preserving them so well that archeologists and scientists got a good look at what happened hundreds of years later.
I was in Seattle living just after St.Helens eruption.I woke up in middle of nite,my bed was shaking.heard nothing on news next day,but if you were working or awake & moving around you would possibly wouldn't ever have noticed???😮😮😮😢😢😢
When these natural disasters won't happen for 100,000 more years and humans won't be here anyway. These disaster films never talk about the REAL geologic time-scale, which is tens of millions of years.
When I last visited about ten years ago, I went to see "Old Faithful." They had a schedule of when it would blast. We waited. It didn't happen. The rangers appeared concerned. My sense is that calling it faithful may no longer be appropriate.
Yeah idk why they have times when it’s not on a timer. Lol it blows when ever it wants too, it’s not a bus with a schedule. It’s pretty consistent over time, but not enough to set your watch by it. They probably do that to keep the tourists coming.
A lot of well to do people have them. They know something is about to happen. Compare with what it says in Rev 6:12 describing something that causing the sun and moon darkening and in v.15 describing all them that are hiding in their underground bunkers. Fascinating how all this will happen. But I'm afraid that it will get worse for mankind after this happens. I'm meaning not to spread fear, but we should be prepared.

I was born exactly one year to the day (May 18, 1981) after Mt. St. Helen erupted... I was a baby born of ash. Funny... I named my daughter "Ashley" ...
@@heatherstewart9300 , it wasn't that terrifying because we lived so far away, but we had 8 inches of ash. It killed some neighbor cows and horses and was a horrible mess for years. The cat would walk across the front yard and the ash would be like smoke go clear up and over the roof. The cops could only respond on bicycles because the car filters would plug up and the cars wouldn't run.when it was plowed under it worked its way to the surface again..BUT EVERYTHING GREW LARGER AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
Without watching, my understanding is that if Yellowstone errupts, it'll not be just one large valcano, but many, which will cover the Northern hemisphere with the potential of trigging a 'nucleur winter' aka ice age.
we often see the same videos. The history of Yellowstone is interesting but we know it by heart. I prefer to follow Mary Greeley who keeps us informed of everything that happens in Yellowstone.
41:15 Look at Google maps. You can find Lake Toba near the north end of the island of Sumatra. It still takes my breath away to see how big that caldera is.
If you guys are interested, there is a channel called “Mary Greeley news” I think where she monitors all the data the the Geological survey posts regarding yellowstones behavior in real time. She is a little extreme sometimes but it’s fun to see her amateur/self taught analysis of the tremors and constant earth quakes happening. She always says “it’s happening soon you guys, get ready” lol
I’m 44 yrs old & im embarrassed to say I didn’t realize the true impact the US wld have if Yellowstone erupted!!! It’s mind blowing the effect this wld have!! I pray we never see it!!
I was 10 years old when Mt. St. Helens erupted. I heard it when it blew, even though I was about 200 miles away from it. For 2 weeks, everything was gray. Everything. The sky, the ground, cars, buildings...The ash where I lived was about 1-3 inches deep. Multiply that by the Yellowstone volcano. I think most people in the U.S. and parts of Canada will hear it, and be covered in ash.
The explosion will create a hypersonic shockwave. It is like crashing in a hypersonic jet against a wall. There will be thermal radiation causing wildfires. And the glass sharp hot ash will burn anything it touches. Even if it cools down, it will form some sort of concrete layer inside lungs. Anything within 300 miles dies, and within 600 miles it struggles to stay alive. Entire mountain ranges will sink, satellites will be destroyed. And if it triggers Cascadia, a magnitude 9 earthquake awaits. And probably it also would activate New Madrid with serous consequences for the east of USA. It has a superficial 60 mile wide magma filled with hyper explosive rhyolite. Yellowstone super volcano is rhyolitic. Rhyolite has a much higher silica content than basalt or andesite. The higher the silica, the more viscous the magma, and the more viscous the magma, the more powerful the eruption. . Super volcano eruptions in Iceland are relatively calm because it is basaltic magma (very low silica). Eruptions in Indonesia are usually more forceful because the magma leans more towards basaltic-andesitic, which has a higher silica content. Also, the bentonite ash deposits throughout the mountain regions (Wyoming, Dakotas, etc) from former eruptions can be many feet thick, but even going east of the Mississippi there are significant ash accumulations from those eruptions. The ash fall would be truly devastating.
I also remember when Mount St Helen's erupted. I was 17 and living in central Manitoba, Canada. I, too remember it being cloudy and gray outside for a few weeks with cars, rooftops, and other stationary items covered in thin layer of soot. School was disrupted due to the hazards of ash, especially for those with asthma, emphysema, and other lung ailments. That was 40+ years ago, but I remember it well and am concerned for My children and grandchildren if Yellowstone erupted.
There was a mini series several years ago that did a very good depiction of what the scientists are just now saying. It was called "Super Volcano" if i remember correctly and stared Roy Schneider, the actor who portrayed the sheriff in "Jaws" as one of the scientists monitoring Yellowstone. That series showed what the initial eruption looked like and the effects of the ash cloud as it traveled across the United States. I forget which network it aired on but it sounds some of these people did not watch it because they are just now saying what that showed several years ago.
I don't care if this documentary is old because I always like to learn new things and as long as it's educational I'm fine with it being old.
There’s tone of knowledge that is true now, was true a 1000 years ago, and will be true a 1000 years from now. So the date is irrelevant.
Well some facts will stay forever. like 1+1 makes 2. that never gets old.
Same. Once we got to the expert that talked about how pyroclastic flows have boiled the water inside of peoples cells to the point that their brains exploded out of their skulls I knew I had made the right click.
congrats.. lol
What makes you think it's old?
Documentaries like this just drives home the fact that humans are just one natural disaster away from extinction.
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.....
Yeah, basically
Exactly. We are so insignificant...
Well we forget we don’t control everything.
Nope, we can easily survive, it might kill a lot of people but we are the best creatures on the planet for surviving. We can grow food inside easily, and wind power is easy to generate and the best form of power, and it would be windy alright.
Im a lone wolf biker have been all my life. Never in a group or club. I do charity rides. But at 65 and retired i just love to ride. I been through Yellowstone twice. Such a mysterious place. You can almost feel the power beneath your feet. And yet a very breathtaking scenery. And i really have to give a huge thank you to all the staff that protect and serve your needs. A must see for all. I will return again some day.
I have to imagine that it is a way more beautiful riding through that area instead of driving through it. Just having that connection between you and the road and feeling every bump and everything…I’m sure most people wouldn’t even think much about the difference in the experience between riding and driving. And although I’ve never rode through Yellowstone, I know the feeling of riding a bike on an open road. You have so much more of a connection to everything around you when you ride a bike.
That was a fucking boring ass stupid story thanks alot
Sounds like an awesome ride. Wish I had my own bike to join you. Trying to retire at 61. 🤷♂️🤞

When ash spews from a volcano, it was once rock which has been baked at thousands of degrees. All water has been driven from the molecular nature of the rock, and like concrete, when it settles and gets wet it will once again reform the molecular structures of rock and solidify. In other words, the ash which coats the lungs turns to concrete. Painful is putting it mildly.
yeah, best to hold your breath when opening bags of cement or anytime you cut stone. You could get silicosis. Any rock dust you breath does not come back out. permanently in your lungs.
U can in fact actually get it out but it's not exactly easy r fun . Involves taking a medication like ingredient which is made from volcanic ash believe it or not. Electricly charged ions which attach to the opposite changed particles and allows it to be moved and passed through the digestive systems. Its not a cure all , nor any perfect science but it can significantly decrease the amounts and keep them somewhat under control. But yeah it's basically impossible to get out. Just like asbestos, it lodges in the lungs and is a nightmare getting cleaned up.
lol, and the leftists worry about burning coal and fossil fuels.
What most people don't realize is that Yellowstone has had over 100 eruptions since its last cataclysmic eruption. Almost all of those eruptions were relatively small eruptions where the impacts were localized to mostly the immediate Yellowstone region. We're finding that's the way most supervolcanoes are. These supervolcanoes tend to produce a lot of activity between cataclysmic eruptions that's not cataclysmic at all!
lol what do u think u know?

I live near it. Although, my boss will probably still call asking if I'm coming into work when it blows.
I think its blowing soon

The only raise you would get, would be ground breaking.
My Mother and I live in the west side of South Dakota.
Well....are you?😅
I remember the effects of the Mt Penatubo eruption in 1991 that I observed in East Central Illinois. For the rest of the summer there was a grey halo around the sun. What I noticed happened one “sunny” day as I worked on my cultivator on my driveway. I had laid a wrench in the gravel as I worked. Normally when you tried to pick up the wrench lying in the sun with a bare hand it would be uncomfortably hot but when I picked it up it was barely warm.
Not to mention the most beautiful sunsets we had in California that year.
Same thing with the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption 😮
No. Mt.St Hellens blew out sideways whereas Mt Penatubo blew vertically with enough force to put ash up into the stratosphere where it stayed for a longtime. Not much precipitation that high up.
Mt P is not located in the USA
You’re right. It’s on the other side of the world. But the ash made its way here anyway.
Seeing actual footage of Mount St Helens blowing half of the mountain apart blows my mind, guess I’m lucky living in the uk, no volcanos no earthquakes, not big ones anyway, no crazy weather tornadoes etc, no tsunamis 😅😅
don't worry, when the sea levels rise most of the low lying parts of the uk will be under water. no escape from the apocalypse im afraid
The mountainous region of the UK's northwest are the remnants of a supervolcano to put Yellowstone to shame. The stone of the hills/mountains are the solidified lava tubes of a volcano that was last active during the time of the dinosaurs.
@@anonthehousemouse I meant active volcanos but yes I’ve heard we have a extinct super volcano
I know right. And I live in Washington State. Was only 3 months old when it happened and grew up in Puget Sound. We also have Mount Rainier and Mount Baker as well.
By the way, the supervolcanic eruption 74.000 years ago was not on the "Island of Toba", it happened on the island of Sumatra and what remains of it is Lake Toba.

Can not count how many times I visited Yellowstone. But YS is always changing from quakes and movement under it. I was lucky to witness Mammoth hot springs in its glory before it shut off from a quake. I will not worry of eruption till YS lake spills over from uplift.............. Then I will vacate quickly.
I just saw where we almost had a Huge Eruption and they hid it from us, could have been the End for us,ash covering the Earth for Years 🙏🙏😭
Around the 27:30 mark in this video, you see a plane on its tail. That plane was on the Cubi Point Airfield at the Subic Bay Naval Station, Republic of the Philippines. My Marines and I were a mile due south of this in a Quonset hut in the Upper MEF camp.We had evacuated 80k from Clark Airbase and Subic and set up a 10km exclusion zone around Mt. Pinatubo. This picture was taken as we were getting our asses handed to us by not only an eruption 10x the size of Mt. St Helen that was 25miles to our Northeast but we also got hit with a typhoon coming in from our southeast
7 weeks of 18 hr patrols, no clean drinking water or breathing protection later, we were finally relieved and floated back to Oki.

Im posting this 7/23/2024
Biscuit bason erupted for the first time ever. There was no seismic activity.
August 2022. Frequencies between 1 to 10 hertz appeared. They show up before and during eruptions. USGS is underreporting earthquakes.
Biscuit Bay did the same thing back in ‘09. It wasn’t an “eruption”, it was just a hydrothermal explosion. Underground water was heated very quickly and a burst of scalding steam and water exploded. Smaller ones, like the Norris Geyser basin on April 15, 2024, happen all the time from a geological perspective. While the Biscuit basin explosion was quite large, it wasn’t anything that scientists haven’t expected and possess no threat to anyone outside a few miles from the explosion.
I concur in general ..yet expanding steam in a closed cylinder..
That's a piston...until it blows out the top...luckily I configure becoming fearfull will have zero affect...effect ?
@@josepablolunasanchez1283 Underreporting? They always do. Its an odd thing because post Katrina, the government generally overrates hurricanes by one category - cherry picking gust data instead of strictly using average eyewall. Regarding earthquakes, there is some kind of area/instrument averaging usgs always does, which knocks down numbers. Northridge quake for example, was an 8.9 on one measurement - but that was a limited area, and they tossed that number completely under the bus in favor of the average of a number of other sensors to burp up the .6.7 bullshit. So they disregard wave theory, which... we don't have to. If anyone has ever been to the beach and that day had swells coming from two directions, the concept visual is on display: where waves merge, the peak rises up at that intersection to present a larger wave height/amplitude. Same concept applies to earthquake forces redirected in part by geometric subsurface crust features. And sometimes, features may align to provide some attenuation above and beyond basic distance losses pertinent to geological composition. It is a complicated business - even where seismic survey data from purposed testing already is in hand..
I’ve learned way more on my own watching videos and doing research like this, than I ever did in school!!! That’s wild
They don't teach anything like they did in my day.
Our school system is truly old and run down. Teach kids after 8th grade.. trades.. on different jobs to prepare them for adult life.

Don't let your education interfere with your learning
We think that we are in charge until nature reminds us who really is.
well my advice if you hear on the news yellow stone is erupting just accept it because it's due to erupt sometime soon so it will happen unfortunately due to natures time table
We're only in charge to a certain extent,and then humans try to play God, and we know what happens then.
Well the rich and powerful elite are safely in charge. The rest of us are just expendable peons. Any disaster that strikes won't affect them, because they have luxury bunkers that can protect them from anything.
If the aviation industry advanced at all planes would have dimples like golf balls to increase strength, reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and stabilize flight. Our fastest craft resembles the peregrine falcon . The peregrine falcon is the fastest dive bombing bird. The golf ball has dimples like a peregrine falcon and every other bird that has ever flown . Birds are perfect but planes and humans are not so we say no catastrophe goes to waste because they're all engineered in a way good watches have capacitors not batteries unfortunately God is for lithium miners to blame for California falling into the ocean 🙏.
When California goes Yellowstone goes so we mine the fault lines at the salt n sea for lithium and subsidize electric cars.
Last eruption was amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Peace joy and happiness to you.🕊🥳😻
I remember that earthquake very well as it was when my Boy Scout group was camping at Hebgen Lake near ground zero. Myself and a friend decided at the last minute not to go on the outing. My friends were on the side of the lake where the water rose and invaded the campsite. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but had an interesting time there. Years later I was on a Uni trip to Quake Lake, to view differentt areas as to the destruction caused by the quake. Unbelievable! I grew up in Bozeman, not far from the Park. We have a saying about the volcano when it eventually blows, there goes the neighborhood.
I live in Belgrade. I met a man that was a geology student in Yellowstone when it hit. He had some interesting stories.
Watching steam blowing out of a signpost that was rotting from the inside out.
He said back then at the painted pots people could park really close to the pots and even sleep in their cars or a campground. He said everything there was covered in a foot of mud that blew out of the pots.
Roflmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the roads leading to mt st Helens has a two story A frame house where only a little bit of the roof is still above ground. The other 12 or so ft of it was buried from the mud flow from the eruption miles away. Entire groves of trees layed over perfectly from the blast. Acres and acres of laid over trees. A miracle more people weren't killed.
Yeah I've seen that house, it hard to believe it could get buried when it's over 10 miles away! Scary stuff
More people tried hard to be. God they sure, suuure wanted to be. They sued the governor for not letting them be killed, then after not being killed, they sued the governor for trying to kill them. Morons
We wouldn't be talking about 12 feet of ash but more like 1,200 feet of ash within 20 miles from the valcano!

It's ok to be ignorant but once corrected u still think it you are now dumb and no excuse for that. It's a scene from before the explosion. It didn't take place DURING the explosion. It's explained the scenes later in the video for fucks sake
The awesome amount of sheer destructive power that a small volcano has is humbling. The thought of one the size of Yellowstone erupting truly makes me feel panicky, tiny, and helpless on the planet.
All that it tells me is to get my house in order. Because there will be no "house" left and no "me" left!
Didn't watch this one watched nick zenters, Supervolcanoes in the Pacific Northwest he has another one as well. Lets put it this way if you are in the USA and it goes up don't bother packing, just say your prayers. However there are some other supervolcanos on the other side of the planet prolly be the same result depending which one.
He has one on the Flood Basalts of the Pacific Northwest you could watch that one instead maybe get a better picture of the after effects.
You'll be fine. It isn't going to erupt in your life time... most likely not even in your children's children time.
It’s times like this that I’m glad I took those hip hop dance classes
We now know that the whole West Coast and heartland gets covered in Ash from Yellowstone, even down into Mexico and up into Canada . And they've been able to map the magma chamber underneath it and there are at least 10 previous eruptions over the last 500,000 yrs. that make a trail. I saw this when it first came out. Excellent use of the newest technology they had.
(There are tens of thousands of people who have lung issues that they don't know about. Even a person with normal lung capacity and tissue would be in danger of having lung failure. Please remember, if you're ever stuck out during one of these to have something over your face. if it's not an n95, wet whatever kind of material you have and put over your nose and mouth and wear protective goggles. Ash from Yellowstone is like ground glass.)
That doesn't make sense, as the prevailing winds are from the west and would move the ash cloud towards the east. All weather systems in the us move in this direction even if they come from the cold north, or warmer south. The ocean winds only go offshore when a big system is brewing, then back to onshore again.
The guy in the video said the most recent eruption was .6 million years give or take 100,000.
I think breathing ash will be the least of our worries. Food production would come to a halt. Most of us will starve to death anyway in a short time.
Weird advice.

This presentation is rich in depth, and I am grateful to the producers for making it. However, it is not long enough to address a myriad of other likely events that could take place during and immediately after an explosive eruption. For example, the Yellowstone Caldera is a neighbor to a number of unstable seismic faults that run adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, from south of Los Angeles all the way up to Vancouver/British Columbia. Could these be triggered by a massive event at Yellowstone? And what about parts of our national nuclear arsenal housed in silos throughout the lands east of the Rocky Mountains? Would they survive, or would they also explode and further damn the human race?
That's a great thought experiment. I guess it's my knowledge to think that it could in no way set off the nukes unless they are armed. I never thought of the fault lines though. You think it'd be able to "shake" through the rockies enough to cause a slip in the plates?
That is a good question, I think if the cascadia or even mabe the san Andreas fault goes it could set the yellow stone off, we are over do for both faults
As a former nuclear weapons specialist in the military I can assure you if the volcano goes off the missiles in the area will not explode. There are a number of safety measures in place that aren't public knowledge in addition to the fact they have to be armed to explode. Having said that and having no experience in geology other than being an avid fan and student for decades, I think you can easily and safely assume a super volcanic eruption in Yellowstone WILL affect the fault lines on the entire west coast. There are several documentaries that address this.
I also believe, with reasonable certainty from having watched many documentaries on a Yellowstone eruption, that if the volcano did erupt, and it WILL at some time in the future but that could be thousands of years from now, even if the fault lines were triggered and the weapons did go off, I'm not sure anyone would take a lot of notice. We would be experiencing much worse things at that point, all over the country. Kind of like leaving the stove on while the house is burning down. Wouldn't worry too much about the stove.
@WTFMIKE Good point on the nukes. If they're still in place, they're probably disarmed.
On those major fault lines, I think they'd react. They're quite unstable. And remember, the seismic universe runs far underneath the land we stand on. I think I'll dig out my map on tectonic plates and fault lines and see if there's any connection.
I was in the big 1959 earthquake. We had just seen old faithful, which wasn't faithful for the first time. I was terrified there was going to be a volcano soon and my sister calmed me by explaining an earthquake was a different thing than a volcano. Next time we talk, I'll have to ask her if she knew the potential for a volcano. 69 people died and we were trapped for 3 days because the side of the mountain with the roads fell down.
The youth of today can, via this documentary, experience the joys and quality of VHS...
This isn't quite as bad as VHS. Broadcast quality in the 80s (and into the 90s) was 525 lines tall (only about 500 or so were visible). VHS recorded at half that resolution.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0 Hang on, is this the being who's modern day disciples are statistically more likely to be child molesters than any other profession? I don't think all those kids abused by the clergy (male and female) in Irish, church owned and run orphanages, are going to agree with you. Or how about the Vatican (and the - many - Popes) knowing about the abuse by priests and nuns, yet still sent them to 'third world' countries where they could continue their abhorrent behaviour without oversight nor scrutiny? Religion is corrupt and the route of all evil, not our salvation from it.

I like how TH-cam put up a context notification about climate change, as if human beings cause volcanic eruptions lol
A "space dedicated channel" is a dedicated channel that is also a space channel. That's different from what you tried (and failed) to write: a "space-dedicated channel" with the hyphen.
Mentioned at the very beginning, the bison that died immediately brought to mind John, Ellen, Miju, and Oksi. I've never been fully convinced it was regular heatstroke alone.
And the osteoblasting creating spurs in a week. Would ltk
The catch is...Yellowstone is also on the continental divide which suggests that the magma pockets could be interconnected to earthquake fault lines throughout all of North America and potentially South America also. It is my belief as a geo-engineer that the caldera at Yellowstone going off would set off a network of volcanos throughout all of North America along with all of the earthquake fault lines going as high as 10.0 on the Richter scale.
In one hour it would be the destruction of the continent of America. No nukes needed to destroy us. Nature will take care of that!
You're a "Geo Engineer" awesome, I have two Geo convertibles, one is a 93 and one is a 94, 3 cylinder, 5 speed standard transmissions, awesome cars, I'm just being stupid, I agree with your comment, I also think it would trigger many other geological events
...in other words - be somewhere else?
I've heard that if it erupts, it will be bye-bye to most of North America.
10.0?
You have no basis to make such a rediculous claim.

Gaseous volcanic fumes are extremely corrosive, poisonous, and denser than the surrounding atmosphere. They smother the immediate area, as well as collect in and flow downhill into depressions and along valleys. It amazes me that people still climb in and around active volcanoes. Including Yellowstone.
This is ignoring the solids, superheating, and seismics.
Nobody said that humanity in general was very smart.
I love documentaries like this! I want to find one about La Breya tar pits.
That's an easy one. Thousands/Millions of years ago when the tar pit was probably much bigger than it is today, Animals may have confused it with a watering hole, wandered in and sinking in the tar. As they were sinking their preditors saw them as an easy meal, not realising what lay ahead. They too wandered in for their "easy meal" and themselves became stuck. Over many millennia loads more animals made the fatal mistake of getting too close to this natural trap and as such the tar pits has become a grave for anything from Insects to large Prehistoric Animals, such as Wholly Mammoths, Sabre Toothed Tigers, to name but two! Have a Nice Day and the Videos on the Tar Pits can be found On - Line.😊

"Regular" volcanoes don't always signal an imminent eruption, such as the deadly eruptions of Japan's Mt. Unzen & New Zealand's White Island; both of which erupted with no warning. One WOULD expect a supervolcano to give warning, as Italy's Campi Flegrei is currently doing. Still, the signs may be subtle, spread out over extended periods of time & great distances within & around a caldera. Each volcano is different, & even dormant ones can suddenly become active with a boom. Bottom line: any volcano which is not confirmed extinct can erupt at any time, & I wouldn't even trust the extinct ones. There's STILL molten rock beneath them.
Sort of. The most recent eruptions at both Unzen and White Island didn't give an *immediate* warning, but it was absolutely known to volcanologists monitoring them that they were very active and that an eruption could occur at any time. Yellowstone, meanwhile, shows absolutely no indication that an eruption of any size could occur at any time in the forseeable future, much less in the immediate future.
@@zackakai5173 Well, that's the thing about "active" volcanoes. There's most usually SOME type of activity going on - venting, tremors, ground deformation, etc. These types of indicators show that they ARE active, & can go on for yrs. People begin to take such indicators for granted, until sadly, in rare instances, those are the only indicators the volcanoes give before an eruption. As I said, one WOULD expect significant upticks in activity from a supervolcano prior to an eruption; but every volcano is unique. Yellowstone has its magma chamber approx. 5-6 mi. beneath the planet's surface. Also, in recent yrs., volcanologists have discovered a much larger magma reservoir approx. 100 mi. beneath the chamber, & conduits feeding from the deep reservoir to the relatively shallow chamber. It's possible the chamber is drawing from the reservoir slowly, with little to no indications on seismometers. Certainly, when the upper chamber reaches critical mass & magma begins rising to the surface, we might expect changes to become apparent. Still, the question is, how MUCH warning, & will we have time? Thanks for your considered reply.

If there are earthquakes happening, it is entirely possible to tell how molten the magma chamber on a caldero or caldera system is, and it is known not a volcano cannot erupt unless the magma chamber is at least 50% molten, as far as anyone can tell, the magma chamber at Yellowstone is I think 5% molten at most. As far as I can tell, at least 95% of the earthquakes at Yellowstone National park are caused by water slipping through existing fault lines, allowing the rock to more easily slide around, which is what these earthquakes are. Magma based earthquakes are very different because they do not happen along existing fault lines. They will happen in areas where there are not known existing fault lines and the earthquakes will be relatively centralized instead of happening in a relatively large area, potentially even along an entire fault line depending on how much water there is.
What was happening in June? As far as any scientists are able to tell would be a bunch of water percolating into the ground from snow causing way more earthquakes than is regular because there's just a lot more water in the ground.
If you want the most accurate website for information around any volcano in the US, usgs.gov is probably going to be your best source. It takes information from both scientists that are employed by the government and a bunch of independence that share their information, and also contains a lot of very fun information about basically anything geology related across the entire US. I don't know if it includes Hawaii and Alaska though and I'm too lazy to figure it out
I remember watching this years and years ago (because when I was little, my fav hobby was learning how we could all die lol). It's a nice recap.

What a delightfully morbid child you must have been. Reminds me of me - the eternal pessimist 🙌
@matthewpocock4824 i was an awful delightful morbid child lol
Possibly why America was so sparsely populated until recently , a super eruption killed most and only a few small groups survived.
A Super Volcano is usually defined as a VEI8 volcano - over 1000 cubic kilometers of material ejected. The last VEI8 eruption on earth occurred about 26,500 years ago in Taupo New Zealand. This event ejected about 1,170 km3. Smaller than Toba, but still in the super volcano range!
Apparently Toba almost made ancient man go extinct from the nuclear winter it created. Approx 74 thousand years ago. It might be set to go off every so often like Yellow stone.
Wow i knew lake Taupo was a super volcano but interesting. I live just up the road and was working during Ruapehu's two eruptions in Taupo it was the amount of dust that covered trucks coming through Desert Road that was amazing.

Love this! It reminds all of us that, as much as we'd like to think so, Nature is in charge, not us. Yellowstone will do what it's been doing for a few million years and we'll be here and gone in the blink of an eye. Yellowstone is incredible in its natural diversity, some of which had to be re-introduced from the hubris of humanity. It will erupt sometime in the near future according to its own wonky schedule and there will be a lot of death and mayhem to clean up. We'll see starvation on a mass scale and those who survive will have to start growing their own crops and go into husbandry. We'll have to learn skills to survive or we'll die. As for the park itself, most of it will be buried under a huge amount of volcanic outpouring. Money will no longer be of use because we'll all be in the same position. If there are no apples to buy, money won't make food happen. Isn't that a refreshing thought?
I was a kid living in eastern Washington when St.Helens erupted. Remember that day very well. Never seen clouds like that. They were tar black. Looked like something out of an "end of the world" movie. By late afternoon the ash was falling so heavily that i could not see the porchlight when i turned it on. It was only about a foot to the side of the door. It was crazy spooky.
I was close to Mt saint Helens when It erupted I was driving semi truck
Basically. Sit back and sip the beer. We going on a ride

Love the line saying “it won’t be very fun”. 😂
Yeah init I was expecting to be hit by a wall of euphoria not fire
As a degreed geologist (BU ‘89), I have had a sick fascination with Yellowstone and the New Madrid fault. Having grown up suffering decades of heartbreak regarding my Chicago Cubs, I decided that if they won, the end of the world is next. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they won in 2016, because look what happened as a result.
I really enjoyed listening to the scientists that created theories and their research to test the theories. I think that tracking down a guy who saw something in 1960 something and hearing it from the horses mouth is really engaging.
The video and audio presentation was great too! When it started the sound simulation of a super eruption, I had just turned on my car and it transferred to my car speakers. It sounded so very much like the first earthquake I experienced, it was very realistic. I think my car was shaking. 😂
At the conclusion am I the only one thinking, “Great! I get to starve slowly over the course of months or years! Yea! I’m not going to spend weeks wracked with pain slowly suffocating. Or maybe I’ll move to Wyoming….😂😂😂😂

Man was capable of producing an artificial explosion 50x smaller than a super volcano. That's pretty crazy
It's not the same, though. You can only do the comparison on energy released. A nuke that big, would do little, compared to an eruption. A nuke releases all its energy in an instance, in a very concentrated point.
If governments were still chasing the biggest nuclear bomb idea they could make one bigger I think, if they crack nuclear fusion and that goes wrong, or right if they were making it into a weapon the whole planet could be cosmic debris.

@@akyhne Exactly I was talking about the energy.
Man was able to create an explosion 50 times larger than some super eruptions, I've only seen the first couple minutes of this video but the fact that it says a super eruption is exactly this much power or whatever, That is a massive red flag cuz no two volcanic eruptions are exactly the same, also if we assume it was 50 times more powerful than Hiroshima, The Soviets produced a bomb well over 200 times more powerful than what the Americans dropped on Hiroshima.
Tzar Bomba was a 50 megaton air dropped nuclear bomb, and that 50 megaton variant was a test just to see if this was even practical to make and if it was how dangerous it would be because they were not able to guarantee the pilots survival, It was originally intended to be a 100 megaton behemoth (so almost a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima)
Bring it on.
Yellowstone isn't the only super volcano we need to worry about, not even the only one in North America. Canada has a sleeping giant no one speaks about. And there are others throughout the world
I live near Nevada Del Ruiz In Colombia that volcano is extreemly active and has been for over 1,000,000 years
There are only a couple of real supervulcanoes all over the world. The most dangerous is currently the campi phlegrei near Naples, Italy. Lots of quakes around magnitude 3-4 in the last couple of days.

Night audit at one of the hotels? It's not terribly physical, though you will be expected to move around occasionally and help with guest questions and such, and usually this person helps put out the breakfast.

@@tobiassowles3428 I will have to look into that see if anyone up there is hiring.
The final statement "where and when" is honest, I am not worried about the next eruption, if it happens, then it happens. Just stay prepared for any disaster, set a good mindset, not to panic. Things can and may get worse before they get better, but the best plan is to live for the day, and keep God, our Heavenly Father at the forefront of your life and thinking. Have a blessed and great day.
A few years ago, I watched a movie made about Yellowstone erupting and it didn’t pull any punches. I suggest you find it and run it.
2012?
The exclusion zone on Monserrat covers more than half of the island to this day - nearly 30 years after the eruption of 1997, and Mt St Helens' surroundings are still considered unsafe.
The most recent international supervolcano wasn't Toba, it was Taupo in New Zealand, some 25,700 years ago.
As a newzealander we don’t want that volcano going off
Yea I was watching thus and my 9 year old grandson was watching over my shoulder. He had nightmares and their mom told me not to let them watch anymore . I told my grandsons no more watching over granny's shoulders

God's answer to when humans think they are the cause of destroying the planet.

"What Happens If A Super Volcano Erupts? "
It would be a major bummer man!
I used to live on an active, erupting volcano on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Lava paths are pretty predictable and most people never have any issues. I never did, and this thing was continuously erupting for years. I lived a few miles from the center of it. I’m guessing they are predicting this to be a tiny bit more violent.

Just a tad, yeah. About like comparing a running tap to... an entire Great Lake falling on your house. Just a matter of scale, really.
This is not tiny I think you need to go and do some research on how big Yellowstone is compared to your tiny island volcanoes
different types of volcanos. some eruptions are just magma welling out ie hawaii, others like krakatoa or mt st helens are like a cork popping off, they just go boom sending out pyroclastic flows which are superheated gas and ash that buries everything. it was the flows that covered pompai so fast that people barely had time to react and preserving them so well that archeologists and scientists got a good look at what happened hundreds of years later.

I love these old style natural disaster documentaries, the kind where by the end of it you feel like it's really going to happen any day now 😅
When these natural disasters won't happen for 100,000 more years and humans won't be here anyway. These disaster films never talk about the REAL geologic time-scale, which is tens of millions of years.
Start Prepping! It could happen tomorrow.
I lived in Wa. St. the morning the mountain blew, and the whole damn thing was so catastrophic it boggled your mind!
When I last visited about ten years ago, I went to see "Old Faithful." They had a schedule of when it would blast. We waited. It didn't happen. The rangers appeared concerned. My sense is that calling it faithful may no longer be appropriate.
Yeah idk why they have times when it’s not on a timer. Lol it blows when ever it wants too, it’s not a bus with a schedule. It’s pretty consistent over time, but not enough to set your watch by it. They probably do that to keep the tourists coming.

Description says Yellowstone is infamous for being beautiful? Infamous means "famous for bad reasons" being a beautiful place would make it FAMOUS.
It is famous for bad reasons - it's a beautiful place, but if it erupts, it's killing everything and everyone in its path.
@darkenvy1901 But in recent human history it has been regarded by many as beautiful - hence it is famous for that attribute, NOT infamous for it.
You're forgetting that its a natural volcano that is active and its beauty is deadly.
Maybe this is why Zuck is building a multimillion dollar underground structure on one of the Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaii... The best spot for something like this... Like not.

@@heatherstewart9300 , it wasn't that terrifying because we lived so far away, but we had 8 inches of ash. It killed some neighbor cows and horses and was a horrible mess for years.

The cops could only respond on bicycles because the car filters would plug up and the cars wouldn't run.when it was plowed under it worked its way to the surface again..BUT EVERYTHING GREW LARGER AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
That's because Lava is the Best thing for growth on Earth, strange.
Without watching, my understanding is that if Yellowstone errupts, it'll not be just one large valcano, but many, which will cover the Northern hemisphere with the potential of trigging a 'nucleur winter' aka ice age.

If you guys are interested, there is a channel called “Mary Greeley news” I think where she monitors all the data the the Geological survey posts regarding yellowstones behavior in real time.

She always says “it’s happening soon you guys, get ready” lol
Dutchsinse channel On it!
I’m 44 yrs old & im embarrassed to say I didn’t realize the true impact the US wld have if Yellowstone erupted!!! It’s mind blowing the effect this wld have!! I pray we never see it!!
Biden would issue stimulus checks and use the crisis for political advantages.
I was 10 years old when Mt. St. Helens erupted. I heard it when it blew, even though I was about 200 miles away from it. For 2 weeks, everything was gray. Everything. The sky, the ground, cars, buildings...The ash where I lived was about 1-3 inches deep. Multiply that by the Yellowstone volcano. I think most people in the U.S. and parts of Canada will hear it, and be covered in ash.
The explosion will create a hypersonic shockwave. It is like crashing in a hypersonic jet against a wall. There will be thermal radiation causing wildfires. And the glass sharp hot ash will burn anything it touches. Even if it cools down, it will form some sort of concrete layer inside lungs.
Anything within 300 miles dies, and within 600 miles it struggles to stay alive. Entire mountain ranges will sink, satellites will be destroyed. And if it triggers Cascadia, a magnitude 9 earthquake awaits. And probably it also would activate New Madrid with serous consequences for the east of USA.
It has a superficial 60 mile wide magma filled with hyper explosive rhyolite.
Yellowstone super volcano is rhyolitic. Rhyolite has a much higher silica content than basalt or andesite. The higher the silica, the more viscous the magma, and the more viscous the magma, the more powerful the eruption. . Super volcano eruptions in Iceland are relatively calm because it is basaltic magma (very low silica). Eruptions in Indonesia are usually more forceful because the magma leans more towards basaltic-andesitic, which has a higher silica content. Also, the bentonite ash deposits throughout the mountain regions (Wyoming, Dakotas, etc) from former eruptions can be many feet thick, but even going east of the Mississippi there are significant ash accumulations from those eruptions. The ash fall would be truly devastating.
I also remember when Mount St Helen's erupted. I was 17 and living in central Manitoba, Canada. I, too remember it being cloudy and gray outside for a few weeks with cars, rooftops, and other stationary items covered in thin layer of soot. School was disrupted due to the hazards of ash, especially for those with asthma, emphysema, and other lung ailments. That was 40+ years ago, but I remember it well and am concerned for My children and grandchildren if Yellowstone erupted.
There was a mini series several years ago that did a very good depiction of what the scientists are just now saying. It was called "Super Volcano" if i remember correctly and stared Roy Schneider, the actor who portrayed the sheriff in "Jaws" as one of the scientists monitoring Yellowstone. That series showed what the initial eruption looked like and the effects of the ash cloud as it traveled across the United States. I forget which network it aired on but it sounds some of these people did not watch it because they are just now saying what that showed several years ago.
Someone has the complete miniseries posted here on TH-cam.
