I passed through western Yellowstone a few weeks ago and the dead pine trees are a pretty good indicator of the deadly heated gases that poured out from the ground.
Does that take into account the wildfires that pass through Yellowstone every year? They don’t manage wildfires in the wilderness like they do in populated areas
I used to live in a yurt not far from Yellowstone. The volcano is more obvious than this documentary reveals. Approaching Yellowstone from Ashton, Idaho, which lies to the south, one drives up the side of what immediately becomes evident as a volcano. On either side of the road on the uphill drive from Ashton to Harriman State Park, the only rock formations are lava. Once at Harriman State Park, one can easily perceive a caldera that stretches northeast to the horizon. While I did study geology, one need not be a geologist to recognize a gigantic volcano's caldera. Curiously absent from the documentary are two important pieces of information: First, the recently mapped lava plume beneath Yellowstone, which is significantly larger than previously believed. It's absolutely massive. Second, the migration of that plume-actually the migration of the North American Plate over the plum-which originated near McDermitt on the Nevada-Oregon border. The initial volcanic eruption there is theorized to have been caused by a meteor strike. Whatever caused it, the trail of subsequent cinder cones stretches across Southern Oregon and the Snake River Plain of Idaho-especially Craters of the Moon National Monument-to its present-day location beneath the Rocky Mountains in Yellowstone. A comparison of a potential Yellowstone eruption to nuclear explosions is utterly ludicrous. Even Russia's largest hydrogen bomb test was conducted over the Arctic Ocean, not dozens of miles beneath the ground. There is no human-engineered explosion in history to accurately compare to a potential Yellowstone eruption. Also, this documentary shows the same CGI visuals ad nauseam. They are not accurate representations of a volcanic eruption, whether from a caldera or from a volcanic mountain. Apparently, the producers of the documentary were more interested in sensationalism than accurate graphic representations of a supervolcano evet.
that's a great commentary, the best I've read, i like your summarization of things not included and the fact that they missed on points of interest, not covered such as how visible it is in fact .. that they didn't cover the real truth about the current plume's. thank you for your added comments to give better understanding of the area and the updates they didn't include. very educated commentary on what is wrong with documentary and the people who make these that only want to sensationalise a topic.
I hate to be Devil's Advocate, but you both do know that this vid was published in 2013 right? About six years ago. So, if the plume was recently mapped under Yellowstone (either between the last couple months or the last two years)...of course it's NOT going to be mentioned in the documentary. That is the only thing I really want to bring up.
I remember that eruption in Montserrat back in ‘97. I live in Mississippi, over 2,000 miles away. I remember it because we didn’t see the sun that summer. Yes, there was an obscured daylight and a murky nighttime. Everything smelled like smoke. One bonus the temps didn’t get blistering hot that year.
Sounds like Tambora in 1814 "year without a summer" because the worldwide effects the volume of ash the volcano emitted weather global effected by and like krakatau later1883 in turned moon and sun variety of colors
I've no idea how much the special effects used to create that explosion cost, but these guys sure got value for money! I don't recall ever seeing anything repeated as often in a TV programme running less that an hour.
It looks like the videos from the experiments the USA did on Bikini Island. They displaced the inhabitants of that island, and most people never returned, because their island were uninhabitable. You can find these videos on UA-cam, archival stuff. It will blow your mind to see how those scientists, and other wild creatures went crazy with those experiments.
Likely there wasn't much of a budget for special effects so they didn't get a lot of pay in the first place. I suspect they did some shady agreement where they bought one video, as a test of quality from a new company, got it on the cheap as it was a new company, left the hope they would buy lots more...then just used the one video. Lame, isn't it?
@@allagatoral3839 Hey. I visited the $333,000 outhouse at Delaware Water Gap National Park (The actual cost is rumored to be much higher). It's a two-holer. If you go there, take a bottle of hand-sanitizer, as there is no water.
@@rk4397 wow, they spared no expense. Even the wildflowers surrounding it cost $720 per pound of seeds. The actual cost might be double according to the post. Is there a marble floor? 😅 Kidding, I'm sure it's difficult to get the materials to the spot, so that's probably where the money drain is. Though I do find the lack of transparency slightly concerning...
Krakatoa's explosion was heard 3,000 miles away in the Indian Ocean island of Rodrigues, near Mauritius (“coming from the eastward, like the distant roar of heavy guns.”) it was heard by people in over 50 different geographical locations, together spanning an area covering a thirteenth of the globe. The British ship Norham Castle was 40 miles from Krakatoa at the time of the explosion. The ship’s captain wrote in his log, “So violent are the explosions that the ear-drums of over half my crew have been shattered. It was calculated to be 172 db!
That's not even a supervolcanic eruption. It's believed that the 1883 Krakatoa eruption had a VEI of 6. Supervolcanic eruptions have a VEI of 8. There has not been a supervolcanic eruption since prehistoric times. The last one was around 26,000 years ago in New Zealand. Written records have only been found for up to about 6000 years ago. The worst eruption in recorded history was Mount Tombara in Indonesia with a VEI of 7, in 1815. It is impossible to determine the worst volcanic eruption in geological history, as evidence is wiped away during the subduction of the crust over time.
Living in Montana, I’m actually skeptical about how many people would evacuate. Here, people have a very casual attitude about a potential Yellowstone eruption. We learn about it in science class. We see it on tv. If you ask most in my area (100 miles approx. from the caldera) they would say something like “Well, if it goes we’re all going to die, but at least we’ll die quickly.” Or “If it happens, I’m hopping on my roof to watch. It’s literally a once in a lifetime event.”
Well, they aren’t really wrong, but it is not something to joke about. If science did actually confirm that a super eruption from Yellowstone was imminent, they probably would think Morse seriously about the situation. Ignoring the warnings is what led to greater death tolls from the eruption of Mount St. Helens. I would believe that people would now never underestimate the danger of a big eruption ever again. And in this case, nobody within 1000 miles of the volcano would be safe. Besides, you could probably see results of the initial blast even up to 200 miles away.
When I lived in Lander, Wyoming, I asked a friend what he would do if Yellowstone erupted. His response was that he and his wife would prepare a couple of drinks and snacks, and then go sit on the back porch to watch as the ash made its way down to Lander. As he said, “It would be the last thing we’d ever do. Might was well enjoy it.”
I live within 70 miles (110km) of a super volcano (Taupo). Last time it went pop in a super way, it sent a pyroclastic flow about 55 miles (90km) in all directions. The ash layer from that flow is about 670 feet (200 meters) deep. The flow went straight over the top of a 9,200 foot (2,800 meter) tall mountain that was 14 miles (23km) away. Even though the pyroclastic flow did not get as far as I am, I am living on a 67 foot (20 meter) layer of ash from what was thrown in the air. An island about 630 miles (1,000 kilometers) away was covered in about a 7 inch (18cm) thick layer of ash. If it did that again, then welcome to the next ice age.
Taupo was seen around the globe. Apparently, the ash managed to spread around half the entire globe as well. And we're currently behind. It's supposed to have gone off already.
Actually the last known VEI 8 eruption was about 26,000 years when when Taupo, in New Zealand, went off with an eruption about 12 percent bigger than the last Yellowstone eruption, and in 1258 there was an eruption in Indonesia that just missed being a VEI 8 when Lombok went off. Even if Yellowstone does not have a super eruption for 100,000 years, another supervolcano could go off somewhere else.
@@Mongruadh93there are about 20 known super volcanos in the world with some articles claiming only 8 are still capable of super eruptions of which University College London believes Campi Flegrei could erupt sooner than previously believed possibly being the next super eruption. Or at least that’s what a Forbes article I read stated…
@@tompastian3447there is.. carbon dating, soil analysis ect.. plenty of ways to determine these facts.... Or let me guess they used a time machine to see what dinosaurs looked like....
@@Baba_Yaga_87 Carbon dating has its limits. Anytime you see dates for anything older than 10,000 years, it should send up red flags. The science of astrophysics can be used to date the earth, based in part on measuring the gradual decline in the earth's gravitational field. The decline amounts to about 5% per century. If you went back in time even 50,000 years, the force of gravity would be too strong to support human life. When it comes to dinosaurs, there have been frozen dinosaurs discovered where the red blood tissue is still active, (not sure if that's the right terminology) there are videos that discuss this, and it indicates they died more recently, most likely in a world wide flood catastrophe. If you're interested in a scientific explanation as to the age of the earth, check out some of Jason Lisle's videos on youtube.

Fun Fact: The "extinct volcano" in Idaho whose ashfall killed the ancient rhinos in Nebraska isn't actually extinct; it's the Yellowstone caldera. The caldera is powered by a hotspot, and as the continental crust glides in a westerly direction over the Earth's mantle, it gives the hotspot the illusion of moving eastward. As Nick Zenter puts it, you can trace the continent's movement by following the path of "ghost volcanos" that the Yellowstone hotspot has left behind. Which also means that Yellowstone is highly unlikely to erupt in the next couple of millenia because it already erupted recently. It takes time to rebuild the magma chambers, during which the continent will continue moving, meaning that the next eruption will likely happen a little more to the east of the current caldera.
And the fact that in 2.1 million years Yellowstone has went off with 3 eruptions rated at a VEI8 means nothing by your hypothesis this shouldn't have happened.
@@albertriha4074 On the contrary, that's what is meant by "erupting recently". Remember, we're talking about time on a geologic scale. The last giant caldera forming eruption happened at Lava Creek around 640,000 years ago, which is very recent. Yellowstone's last volcanic eruption at West Thumb 170,000 years ago in Yellowstone Lake was only a VEI 6, about the same as Mount Mazama's Crater Lake forming eruption. The Yellowstone Hotspot has already emptied its magma chamber, and by the time the hotspot fills up again, the North American plate will have moved sufficiently over the hotspot that the next eruption will occur a little more east of the present location of Yellowstone. When you look at the three eruptions that make up the Yellowstone calderas, you can see this general eastward trend. And when you trace the hotspot over 16 million years, you can see that, as the North American plate moves generally westward, the Yellowstone Hotspot appears to be slowly moving east across the landscape. Do keep in mind that this is not "my" hypothesis; I am repeating the accepted hypothesis of actual geologists and volcanologists.
But there have been 3 VEI8 IN pretty much the same area to say it's impossible for it to happen again is ridiculous the Huckleberry ridge eruption happen 2.4 million mesa falls which happened 1.2 years ago in the middle of the Huckleberry ridge caldera and then you had the lava Creek caldera which form 648 thousand years ago so I wasn't talking about 170,000 years ago with the Bei 6 I was talking and the past history of everything that's going on so yeah I guess my hypothesis would be correct that there could be another vei 8 eruption in Yellowstone and it would be possible for it to be a big eruption even in the same place as the caldera
@@fukpoeslaw3613 Another 0.01% about how shitty this was. The title is Supervolcanoes. I know about Yellowstone! I wanted to learn more about supervolcanoes, not just that one. Yellowstone is spooky. Oooh! That's the value of this doc.
Watching this gave me anxiety. All of the areas they CGI'ed to show what the devastation outside of Yellowstone would look like, that's what my hometown looks like. My parents live in the 200 mile radius zone. Very informative documentary, very anxiety-inducing. We used to joke in high school about what poses we would take if Yellowstone erupted, until a teacher explained that we'd just be incinerated instead of leaving holes like at Pompeii.
@@kirkkirkland7244 Oh, you're magic invisible sky daddy will save you eh? You need to look up 'critical thinking' instead of believing everything you've been told.
I can see it being nerve racking, but if a super eruption were imminent, they would order an evacuation months before they expect the eruption to occur and probably would not let them return until activity lowered.
Whew! What a grim scenario..! However, as ghastly as the eruption would be, there would be a few silver linings: 1) No more new Progressive commercials with "Flo". 2) Being able to go 15 to 20 years without having to mow your lawn. 3) Not having to pay Casino debts incurred in Las Vegas, as Nevada would be buried under 12 meters of ash. 4) No more worries of getting sun-burned. 5) No longer having to listen to your snobbish neighbor bragging about her prized rose garden. ( sorry, I know it would be no joke, but I can't face the true horror of it without trying to grin and bear it )
I know it's serious, Kevin. But so is death in general and I do try to keep a LITTLE humor about Life and all its horrors so as not get too depressed...
I have been through tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, and a volcanic eruption. It isn’t funny, but if you don’t keep your sense of humor...even if it’s gallows humor...you will lose yourself to anxiety and depression. I do appreciate your attempt at humor. 🤗
It's because humans get a hard on when disasters happen ,,,we are a sick society ,,, we get off on horro but whenit happens to ourselves we stop injoying it
Well, in their defense, though as individuals people can be smart to adaptable, they can learn quickly. That said, people as a whole are pretty dense when it comes to heeding warnings; I think they are trying to get our attention.
If they didn't make it dramatic, nobody would watch it. So they pimp themselves off in order to get any viewers at all. That's not their fault. That's the way humans are.
I agree, it's like being repeatedly punched in the eye sockets :/ What's the purpose of this, I wonder? Can nobody hold their attention for more than a few seconds without being slapped awake anymore?
AND REMEMBER FOLKS, YOU HEARD IT FIRST FROM CHARLIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE yeah god this is terrifying but also pretty in a way, its amazing stuff. what i find annoying is how hard it is to find disaster documentaries.. cause i really like watchin em.
We've seen worse have we ? Hollywood has taught us that we are indestructible as humans we can survive and defeat anything that comes, just by saying we can.....
Humans have survived underground before. There is evidence of mass man made structures of such. Modern "science" just doesn't want to see it because it blows up their gradualist theories. The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis 12800bp - 11600bp is opening up a whole new paradigm...... it has happened before, it will happen again. THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH is written into every cultures mythology
I watched Krakatoa earlier today.(03-10-18). When that volcano exploded in 1883, it had a global influence and the shock wave went around the earth, 7 times.. It blew so much material in to the atmosphere, it cooled the Earth temperature into a mini ice age.. This event would be nothing compared to what Yellow stone will do, i can imagine
this may sound way out there or very old fashioned but watch the animals and insects they will tell you when something big and deadly is about to happen when Yellow Stone has no birds or signs of wild life you know you better run.
@Stephanie Logan-- Cats always look terrified, because dogs. Dogs always look stupid because they're idiots. And dogs are idiots because they're doing their best imitation of us. And those are the highlights for the last third of the Cenozoic period.
They should also make a documentary similar to this one about the magma body that is located under the Chilean-Bolivian-Argentine plateau (Puna magma body). It has more magma capacity than the Toba, Taupo, and Yellowstone.
Sure is, Earth is a prism colony, run by escaped lunatics from mental hospital. We the people, are convicts, we are here to grow some education on how to live with each other, but, because, just like real prism, inmates separate themselves with their own kind, separate groups fighting, protecting each of their territories, outside the walls the same applies. We convicts come from different Earth like planets in our galaxy, we have been put in this prism because of of our behaviours and attitude toward Biblical principles, mainly the Ten Commandments. These are the lessons we should live by, to be able to get back to our rightful home in our Lords mansion, our Galaxy, Earth is but a room int this Mansion. Hahahahahahhehehehe.

This video is a combination of good science and a lot of junk science like the quote from the UN below the video giving credibility to the theory that humans are causing climate change. The most serious problems with this video are the dates they claim volcanoes erupted. The video never mentions the Noahic flood, which was a world wide catastrophic event that gave us the current state of our planet. Dating anything farther back than 10,000 years should raise doubt as to the observations made in this video. Modern Astrophysicists like Jason Lisle and Spike Psaris have arguments that refute and decimate the big bang theory, and dating that adheres to that theory. Kurt Wise is an excellent Christian geologist who will also refute some of these theories about dates. If there's one thing that Mt. St. Helens eruption proved in 1980, it was that canyons like the Grand Canyon were NOT the result of many years of erosion. The eruption of Mt. St. Helens carved out a canyon in hours and days. Jason Lisle, Spike Psaris, and Kurt Wise all have videos on youtube. Type their name in the youtube search bar.

Second only to Yellowstone in North America is the Long Valley caldera, in east-central California. The 200-square-mile caldera is just south of Mono Lake, near the Nevada state line. The biggest eruption from Long Valley was 760,000 years ago, which unleashed 2,000 to 3,000 times as much lava and ash as Mount St. Helens, after which the caldera floor dropped about a MILE, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Some of the ash reached as far east as Nebraska. What worries geologists today was a swarm of strong earthquakes in 1980 and the 10-inch rise of about 100 square miles of the caldera floor. Then, in the early 1990's, large amounts of carbon dioxide gas from magma below began seeping up through the ground and killing trees in the Mammoth Mountain part of the caldera. When these sorts of signs are present, it could mean trouble is centuries, decades, or even YEARS away, say volcanologists..... reference www.ranker.com/list/the-world_s-6-known-supervolcanoes/analise.dubner ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=The+Long+Valley+Caldera
The narrator kept saying things like, "Scientists believe ..." , "Some scientists say ..." et cetera. In science, it doesn't matter what scientists believe or say, rather only what is INDICATED BY EVIDENCE. Fortunately, whenever a scientist follows, evidence is what is given credit.
Thats because we haven't studied volcano's scientifically for very long. The science is new and nobody really knows. We're slowly gaining understanding from geologic evidence and realtime data collected from sensors at volcanos. 50 years from now they'll have alot of data and maybe we'll see a pattern
It does make a difference just b/c evidence points one way or another they don't know conclusively. There is also frequently disagreement on what the evidence suggests. Good Scientists don't talk in conclusions.
Shame that at the end commentator says one erupts on Earth every 700,000 years.. this is simply just not the case - Yellowstone alone erupts with this frequency, but a number of other super volcanoes (capable of VEI 8) have been identified including two in North America, Toba in Indonesia (which erupted 74,000 years ago) Kagoshima Japan and Taupo in NZ that are still active. Frequency is thus more like every 100,000 years.
He most likely meant 70,000 years - just put one too many zeros. THAT SAID, you'd think someone would be assigned to watch the whole thing to look for obvious errors, before it was foisted on an unsuspecting public, lol.
Where did you get this information about10 eruptions may i ask.. i only ask because there's been 3 super eruptions in the last 2.1 million years.. right every 700000 years.. is got about 100000 years to go of we go by that time scale, nobody truly knows how math times it is erupted, because most of that information has been buried by subsequent eruptions, besides the 3 super eruptions we know of there has been 80 mostly non explosive eruptions since the last super eruption.. the last one happened aboit 70,000 years ago and that was basically just a little lava flow on the pitchstone plateau
@@Baba_Yaga_87 go and look for the various calderas the Yellowstone hot spot has left - a hint - starts in western Oregon. Granted, not all have been as big as the one that it created to where the park now sits. maybe this will work - www.usgs.gov/media/images/track-yellowstone-hotspot
In the documentary you state that ash from Yellowstone could rise as high as 11 miles, but Krakatoa threw ash even higher(nearly 17 miles) and it was nowhere near the size of Yellowstone.
"The hot springs and geisers have attracted tourists for a hundred years. Unbeknownst to them.." Are.You.Serious!? I think literally *everyone* looking to visit Yellowstone knows it's is a gigantic volcano. I can't imagine a single tourist being just astonished to hear that they are visiting one of the world's few supervolcanoes.. It's like going to Egypt and being just amazed that there are pyramids there and not just the river Nile.. Most tourists would wonder what rock you've been living under *not* knowing that..
Too true... every time they go on about Yellowstoner they say exactly the same thing... I think that's being announced for any American that visits there.
Isn't this the reason why stradivaruis sound the way they do? because of the small amount of sunlight created extremely tight growth rings in that forest making it extra awesome for sound?
According to the video "Little Ice Age" (IIRC) that's a strong speculation but I don't think anyone who owns a Stradivarius has allowed anyone else to take a sample of one.

You didn't tell anything about the noise of the explosion, which itself will be enough loud to kill many people in a very wide area. The sound made by the Krakatoa volcanic eruption in 1883 was so loud it ruptured eardrums of people 40 miles away; we can hardly imagine what would happen in the case of supervolcano eruption.
this was probably one of the most well informing videos on Yellowstone I have seen in a very long time from start to finish. Definitely recommending this to people.
1086AD Taupo blew in New Zealand. The last super volcano that blew in the world. It was also one of the largest known. Chinese and Romans wrote about the sky's changing colour.
Yellowstone isn’t the largest super volcano I think it’s about 6th, it isn’t even the largest in the US. I get it makes for the prettiest documentaries but a bit of accuracy would be nice.
Go to Mars. Then it's a different type of nature we have to struggle with but no volcanoes. Still as time goes on we will get less eruptions, and they'll be smaller magnitudes too. And plate tectonics will eventually end. The earth will die. Enjoy your day :)

I wouldn't get too worried. The scientist at Yellowstone say there have no changes in the level of the Magma in the chamber since they first started monitoring it years ago, when they first got the technology to do that.
Yellowstone is the least of our worries. Climate change is a problem. Unfortunately americans have been successfully fooled by big business into thinking its not real.
Wow! Amazing that Yellow Stone is a baby compared to Tamu Massif (whose base is under the northern Pacific Ocean) and even one over near Italy which encompasses much of the Mediterranean Sea and neighboring land masses 😱.

@@stevenschnepp576 Do you know where you got the programming that you seem to enjoy so much? Why cling to lies so tightly? Why not look at the evidence instead of regurgitating the toxic idiotic demonic vomit over and over?
@@stevenschnepp576 You listed "claims" - you did not list proof or evidence - all of your claims have been exposed as fraud - if you don't believe it, do the research and see for yourself. Since I did not believe the claims, I pursued evidence - and found the timeline for our Earth documented by our ancestors in hundreds of independent historic records, written in over a dozen languages from all across our Earth, going back over 600 years with explanations going back to the early beginnings of our Earth - this documentation by our ancestors includes reports in the captain's logs from the sailing ships going back hundreds of years - as well as hundreds of other sources - this documentation includes the timeline for our Earth's continents, oceans, mountains, volcanic eruptions, Earth's expansion, Earth's colossal tsunami waves, Earth's broken and subducted tectonic plates, Earth's ocean trenches, Earth's archipelago islands, Earth's glaciers and ice shelves, etc. - all of that is documented by our ancestors who tell us the timeline from geologists, glaciologists, Egyptologists, Bible Scholars, carbon dating, ice cores, etc., is all disinfo. I could not believe the timeline they were giving us because it is shockingly short - so I came up with ways to prove their short timeline is wrong - I pursued several angles on this evidence to prove their short timeline for our mountains is false, to prove their short timeline for Antarctica is false, to prove their short timeline for the volcanic eruptions is short, etc. - I approached the timeline from many angles including the timeline for music, the timeline for architecture, the timeline for the megaliths, the timeline for our human history, the timeline for shipping routes, the timeline in the Bible, the timeline for the ancient cities and so on - every single pursuit that I ventured into clearly corroborated the short timeline from our ancestors while simultaneously contradicting the timeline lies that we were programmed to believe in. For example, we were told Vesuvius decimated Pompeii thousands of years go - but numerous independent sources of evidence clearly tell us that Vesuvius decimated Pompeii in 1631 - since Pliny the Elder reportedly died in that decimation and since Pliny the Elder reportedly lived contemporaneously with Nero, we can see how their timeline for our human history is again exposed as intentional disinfo. On and on and on the evidence goes - in thousands of independent sources from all across our Earth, written in over a dozen languages - if you prefer claims and "theories" - forget I mentioned it. If you want to see the evidence, study the voluminous evidence like I did - and see for yourself - it's that simple. Dozens and dozens of links to the evidence are under my uploaded videos.

Most people are unaware that Yellowstone National Park is just the inside of 1giant Super Volcano. Yellowstone is underlain by two magma bodies. The shallower one is composed of rhyolite (a high-silica rock type) and stretches from 5 km to about 17 km (3 to 10 mi) beneath the surface and is about 90 km (55 mi) long and about 40 km (25 mi) wide There are two types of eruptions in terms of activity, explosive eruptions and effusive eruptions. Explosive eruptions are characterized by gas-driven explosions that propels magma and tephra. Effusive eruptions, meanwhile, are characterized by the outpouring of lava without significant explosive eruption. But the main danger is the Pyroclastic flow. A pyroclastic flow is a dense, fast-moving flow of solidified lava pieces, volcanic ash, and hot gases. It occurs as part of certain volcanic eruptions. A pyroclastic flow is extremely hot, burning anything in its path. It may move at speeds as high as 200 m/s. The extreme temperatures of rocks and gas inside pyroclastic flows, generally between 200°C and 700°C (390-1300°F).
Finally, somebody with half an ounce of common Sense who actually researched properly.... Some of these comments are laughable, don't you think ???? Lol
OvB et al, you guys should comment on every scientific video.

Thank you for an intelligent and well reasoned contribution to the internet, something that is seriously lacking today.
What these people fail to say is that there is a place in Yellowstone that is called raspberry ridge. Its a ridge that was once a mountain that has very unique characteristics in its soil. When Yellowstone exploded the last time, it left an ENTIRE INCH of soil everywhere in the world. Thats right scientists have found it on every continent, some old islands and in the northern and southern ice caps. Even in the sediment on the ocean floor. Thats how big it blew. Ash is bad enough but an inch of soil falling from the sky? no sun, no crops. I am betting that only a few hundred million people on the planet will survive it, if it actually happens.
Far worse than that, look at Shiprock, New Mexico. The formation there is the cinder cone of a super-volcano. The surrounding area, while not sterile, is largely open.

I'd love to see an episode on the Long Valley Caldera/Mammoth Mountain region of CA. What would happen to Bishop or Fresno? Could anyone escape? What about overall CA?
Interestingly, Yellowstone is currently not capable of an eruption due to its magma chamber being mostly solid. It would take years for it to liquify. There are however many other huge volcanoes that aren’t as well monitored, and could go with far less warning.
I wish people of the United States of America and the rest of the world safety and happy life for them and their beloved ones It is always good to be prepared
Yellowstone is part of a complex called the Snake River caldera. In the past those eruption have not been explosive but have created huge basaltic lave flows like the Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. The explosive eruptions of the past weren't typical. While the conventional wisdom says super volcano, have in the back of your mind a super basaltic lave flow as happens in Iceland and Hawaii.
that's just a little one,while most super eruptions are strato volcanos not all strato volcanos are super eruptions,course if you are near it it doesn't really matter
"The hot springs and geysers have attracted tourist for over a hundred years. Unknown to them. Deep beneath the beautiful landscape lies a hidden terror" UNKNOWN?

well, fuck me, i was in school in 1999 and 2000 and we were taugth that yellowstone was an extint volcano with some activity left, now we know it is very much active and ready to blow....

The last time it blew up it was in Idaho! Because of plate tectonics, it is now in Wyoming. Read my comment that I wrote 3 months ago about how I found out about it.
"All volcanoes warn us they are about to erupt." Oh, really? By email or snail-mail letter? "Dear inhabitants, this is to inform you that I have recently not been feeling well, and could erupt at any moment. Have a nice day."
Most volcanoes precede eruptions with "harmonic tremors", which are caused when the magma column moves upwards through the underlying and surrounding rock, shattering it. During this process the most volatile gases (like carbon dioxide) tend to ride the head of the magma column up in much the same way that carbon dioxide rises to the top of a bottle of beer or soda pop can when you open it. That also brings up the way that decreasing pressures (opening a beer) enables gases to quickly diffuse out of the magma mass and rush to the top of the column. That process occurs over and over as the column rises, and under the right conditions it can act like a military "first wave", helping the magma column shatter the overlying rock above it and punch through into an eruption. I strongly suspect that's why the massive release of carbon dioxide in the low-lying area which killed the bison was so worrisome to the Yellowstone geologists and rangers.
This volcano is directly North of flagstaff & others down through Utah. Sedona Arizona must of had an enormous eruption. If you look directly West of I-17 you can see where it went straight up just by seeing how the cliffs go straight up. I'm not a geologist but looking something pretty powerful had to do that.

@@FinnMiaBelle Mantle plume, it's mantle plume.
I used to live in a yurt not far from Yellowstone. The volcano is more obvious than this documentary reveals. Approaching Yellowstone from Ashton, Idaho, which lies to the south, one drives up the side of what immediately becomes evident as a volcano. On either side of the road on the uphill drive from Ashton to Harriman State Park, the only rock formations are lava. Once at Harriman State Park, one can easily perceive a caldera that stretches northeast to the horizon. While I did study geology, one need not be a geologist to recognize a gigantic volcano's caldera.
Curiously absent from the documentary are two important pieces of information:
First, the recently mapped lava plume beneath Yellowstone, which is significantly larger than previously believed. It's absolutely massive.
Second, the migration of that plume-actually the migration of the North American Plate over the plum-which originated near McDermitt on the Nevada-Oregon border. The initial volcanic eruption there is theorized to have been caused by a meteor strike. Whatever caused it, the trail of subsequent cinder cones stretches across Southern Oregon and the Snake River Plain of Idaho-especially Craters of the Moon National Monument-to its present-day location beneath the Rocky Mountains in Yellowstone.
A comparison of a potential Yellowstone eruption to nuclear explosions is utterly ludicrous. Even Russia's largest hydrogen bomb test was conducted over the Arctic Ocean, not dozens of miles beneath the ground. There is no human-engineered explosion in history to accurately compare to a potential Yellowstone eruption.
Also, this documentary shows the same CGI visuals ad nauseam. They are not accurate representations of a volcanic eruption, whether from a caldera or from a volcanic mountain. Apparently, the producers of the documentary were more interested in sensationalism than accurate graphic representations of a supervolcano evet.
that's a great commentary, the best I've read, i like your summarization of things not included and the fact that they missed on points of interest, not covered such as how visible it is in fact .. that they didn't cover the real truth about the current plume's. thank you for your added comments to give better understanding of the area and the updates they didn't include. very educated commentary on what is wrong with documentary and the people who make these that only want to sensationalise a topic.
Are you people adults because im just a 5th grader so i dont know what your saying
I hate to be Devil's Advocate, but you both do know that this vid was published in 2013 right? About six years ago. So, if the plume was recently mapped under Yellowstone (either between the last couple months or the last two years)...of course it's NOT going to be mentioned in the documentary. That is the only thing I really want to bring up.
Every time the center of Idaho has an earthquake it changes the timing of the geysers. Some become active, some inactive not predictable.
@Desiree Bernert the rest of the earth will survive just fine. You guys on the other hand......😏💀☠☠
I remember that eruption in Montserrat back in ‘97. I live in Mississippi, over 2,000 miles away. I remember it because we didn’t see the sun that summer. Yes, there was an obscured daylight and a murky nighttime. Everything smelled like smoke. One bonus the temps didn’t get blistering hot that year.
Wow. That actually sounds kinda cool. 😊
Sounds like Tambora in 1814 "year without a summer" because the worldwide effects the volume of ash the volcano emitted weather global effected by and like krakatau later1883 in turned moon and sun variety of colors
I've no idea how much the special effects used to create that explosion cost, but these guys sure got value for money! I don't recall ever seeing anything repeated as often in a TV programme running less that an hour.
I fast forwarded the video a couple times and literally ended up in like the exact same frame of the sequence. They def got their moneys worth
It looks like the videos from the experiments the USA did on Bikini Island. They displaced the inhabitants of that island, and most people never returned, because their island were uninhabitable. You can find these videos on UA-cam, archival stuff. It will blow your mind to see how those scientists, and other wild creatures went crazy with those experiments.
😊😊😊❤❤😊❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

Likely there wasn't much of a budget for special effects so they didn't get a lot of pay in the first place. I suspect they did some shady agreement where they bought one video, as a test of quality from a new company, got it on the cheap as it was a new company, left the hope they would buy lots more...then just used the one video. Lame, isn't it?

You made it through the stupidest thing I have seen on UA-cam...(so far)
Krakatoa's explosion was heard 3,000 miles away in
the Indian Ocean island of Rodrigues, near Mauritius (“coming from the
eastward, like the distant roar of heavy guns.”)
it was heard by people in over 50 different geographical locations,
together spanning an area covering a thirteenth of the globe.
The British ship Norham Castle was 40 miles from Krakatoa at the time of
the explosion. The ship’s captain wrote in his log, “So violent are the
explosions that the ear-drums of over half my crew have been shattered.
It was calculated to be 172 db!
I think that's nearly loud enough to kill a person?
@@katyrosy124 close and could and probably did
its not 172 decibels its 310 decibels
That's not even a supervolcanic eruption. It's believed that the 1883 Krakatoa eruption had a VEI of 6. Supervolcanic eruptions have a VEI of 8. There has not been a supervolcanic eruption since prehistoric times. The last one was around 26,000 years ago in New Zealand. Written records have only been found for up to about 6000 years ago.
The worst eruption in recorded history was Mount Tombara in Indonesia with a VEI of 7, in 1815. It is impossible to determine the worst volcanic eruption in geological history, as evidence is wiped away during the subduction of the crust over time.
Living in Montana, I’m actually skeptical about how many people would evacuate. Here, people have a very casual attitude about a potential Yellowstone eruption. We learn about it in science class. We see it on tv. If you ask most in my area (100 miles approx. from the caldera) they would say something like “Well, if it goes we’re all going to die, but at least we’ll die quickly.” Or “If it happens, I’m hopping on my roof to watch. It’s literally a once in a lifetime event.”
Well, they aren’t really wrong, but it is not something to joke about. If science did actually confirm that a super eruption from Yellowstone was imminent, they probably would think Morse seriously about the situation. Ignoring the warnings is what led to greater death tolls from the eruption of Mount St. Helens. I would believe that people would now never underestimate the danger of a big eruption ever again. And in this case, nobody within 1000 miles of the volcano would be safe. Besides, you could probably see results of the initial blast even up to 200 miles away.
Damn, everyone's literally got the YOLO reaction.
When I lived in Lander, Wyoming, I asked a friend what he would do if Yellowstone erupted. His response was that he and his wife would prepare a couple of drinks and snacks, and then go sit on the back porch to watch as the ash made its way down to Lander. As he said, “It would be the last thing we’d ever do. Might was well enjoy it.”
I live within 70 miles (110km) of a super volcano (Taupo). Last time it went pop in a super way, it sent a pyroclastic flow about 55 miles (90km) in all directions. The ash layer from that flow is about 670 feet (200 meters) deep. The flow went straight over the top of a 9,200 foot (2,800 meter) tall mountain that was 14 miles (23km) away. Even though the pyroclastic flow did not get as far as I am, I am living on a 67 foot (20 meter) layer of ash from what was thrown in the air. An island about 630 miles (1,000 kilometers) away was covered in about a 7 inch (18cm) thick layer of ash. If it did that again, then welcome to the next ice age.
Dude! I live 750 meters from Taupo lake/crater.Not to worry,more chance of getting run down on my mountain bike.
Taupo was seen around the globe. Apparently, the ash managed to spread around half the entire globe as well. And we're currently behind. It's supposed to have gone off already.
@@allagatoral3839 Yellowstone isn't the size of Taupo. It's actually smaller. Not only that, but noone can read your "other posts" on this site.

Actually the last known VEI 8 eruption was about 26,000 years when when Taupo, in New Zealand, went off with an eruption about 12 percent bigger than the last Yellowstone eruption, and in 1258 there was an eruption in Indonesia that just missed being a VEI 8 when Lombok went off.
Even if Yellowstone does not have a super eruption for 100,000 years, another supervolcano could go off somewhere else.
Thanks I came looking for some decent comments. I’m so tired of Yellowstone being ‘the world’s largest supervolcano’
@@Mongruadh93there are about 20 known super volcanos in the world with some articles claiming only 8 are still capable of super eruptions of which University College London believes Campi Flegrei could erupt sooner than previously believed possibly being the next super eruption. Or at least that’s what a Forbes article I read stated…
There's no way to prove such a date of 26,000 years ago.
@@tompastian3447there is.. carbon dating, soil analysis ect.. plenty of ways to determine these facts.... Or let me guess they used a time machine to see what dinosaurs looked like....
@@Baba_Yaga_87 Carbon dating has its limits. Anytime you see dates for anything older than 10,000 years, it should send up red flags. The science of astrophysics can be used to date the earth, based in part on measuring the gradual decline in the earth's gravitational field. The decline amounts to about 5% per century. If you went back in time even 50,000 years, the force of gravity would be too strong to support human life.
When it comes to dinosaurs, there have been frozen dinosaurs discovered where the red blood tissue is still active, (not sure if that's the right terminology) there are videos that discuss this, and it indicates they died more recently, most likely in a world wide flood catastrophe.
If you're interested in a scientific explanation as to the age of the earth, check out some of Jason Lisle's videos on youtube. Jason Lisle has a master's degree in Astrophysics from the U of Colorado.
Fun Fact: The "extinct volcano" in Idaho whose ashfall killed the ancient rhinos in Nebraska isn't actually extinct; it's the Yellowstone caldera. The caldera is powered by a hotspot, and as the continental crust glides in a westerly direction over the Earth's mantle, it gives the hotspot the illusion of moving eastward. As Nick Zenter puts it, you can trace the continent's movement by following the path of "ghost volcanos" that the Yellowstone hotspot has left behind. Which also means that Yellowstone is highly unlikely to erupt in the next couple of millenia because it already erupted recently. It takes time to rebuild the magma chambers, during which the continent will continue moving, meaning that the next eruption will likely happen a little more to the east of the current caldera.
Rachel, you are so right! See the comment I just made today 12/16/2022
Neither is Crater lake still active volcanic island in middle of the lake lagoon like
And the fact that in 2.1 million years Yellowstone has went off with 3 eruptions rated at a VEI8 means nothing by your hypothesis this shouldn't have happened.
@@albertriha4074 On the contrary, that's what is meant by "erupting recently". Remember, we're talking about time on a geologic scale. The last giant caldera forming eruption happened at Lava Creek around 640,000 years ago, which is very recent. Yellowstone's last volcanic eruption at West Thumb 170,000 years ago in Yellowstone Lake was only a VEI 6, about the same as Mount Mazama's Crater Lake forming eruption. The Yellowstone Hotspot has already emptied its magma chamber, and by the time the hotspot fills up again, the North American plate will have moved sufficiently over the hotspot that the next eruption will occur a little more east of the present location of Yellowstone. When you look at the three eruptions that make up the Yellowstone calderas, you can see this general eastward trend. And when you trace the hotspot over 16 million years, you can see that, as the North American plate moves generally westward, the Yellowstone Hotspot appears to be slowly moving east across the landscape.
Do keep in mind that this is not "my" hypothesis; I am repeating the accepted hypothesis of actual geologists and volcanologists.
But there have been 3 VEI8 IN pretty much the same area to say it's impossible for it to happen again is ridiculous the Huckleberry ridge eruption happen 2.4 million mesa falls which happened 1.2 years ago in the middle of the Huckleberry ridge caldera and then you had the lava Creek caldera which form 648 thousand years ago so I wasn't talking about 170,000 years ago with the Bei 6 I was talking and the past history of everything that's going on so yeah I guess my hypothesis would be correct that there could be another vei 8 eruption in Yellowstone and it would be possible for it to be a big eruption even in the same place as the caldera

I can see it being nerve racking, but if a super eruption were imminent, they would order an evacuation months before they expect the eruption to occur and probably would not let them return until activity lowered.

A lot of the volcanic activity shown in this Naked Science episode is taken from the docudrama, “Supervolcano” which I watched on TV years ago. It’s very well done, fairly accurate in its science, and is available on UA-cam. I highly suggest it if you’re a volcanology fan. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

This video is a combination of good science and a lot of junk science like the quote from the UN below the video giving credibility to the theory that humans are causing climate change. The most serious problems with this video are the dates they claim volcanoes erupted. The video never mentions the Noahic flood, which was a world wide catastrophic event that gave us the current state of our planet. Dating anything farther back than 10,000 years should raise doubt as to the observations made in this video. Modern Astrophysicists
like Jason Lisle and Spike Psaris have arguments that refute and decimate the big bang theory, and dating that adheres to that theory. Kurt Wise is an excellent Christian geologist who will also refute some of these theories about dates.
If there's one thing that Mt. St. Helens eruption proved in 1980, it was that canyons like the Grand Canyon were NOT the result of many years of erosion. The eruption of Mt. St. Helens carved out a canyon in hours and days.
Jason Lisle, Spike Psaris, and Kurt Wise all have videos on youtube. Type their name in the youtube search bar.

Second only to Yellowstone in North America is the Long Valley caldera, in east-central California. The 200-square-mile caldera is just south of Mono Lake, near the Nevada state line. The biggest eruption from Long Valley was 760,000 years ago, which unleashed 2,000 to 3,000 times as much lava and ash as Mount St. Helens, after which the caldera floor dropped about a MILE, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Some of the ash reached as far east as Nebraska.
What worries geologists today was a swarm of strong earthquakes in 1980 and the 10-inch rise of about 100 square miles of the caldera floor. Then, in the early 1990's, large amounts of carbon dioxide gas from magma below began seeping up through the ground and killing trees in the Mammoth Mountain part of the caldera. When these sorts of signs are present, it could mean trouble is centuries, decades, or even YEARS away, say volcanologists..... reference

The narrator kept saying things like, "Scientists believe ..." , "Some scientists say ..." et cetera.
In science, it doesn't matter what scientists believe or say, rather only what is INDICATED BY EVIDENCE.
Fortunately, whenever a scientist follows, evidence is what is given credit.
psycotria Alien Astronaut theorists agree.
Thats because we haven't studied volcano's scientifically for very long. The science is new and nobody really knows. We're slowly gaining understanding from geologic evidence and realtime data collected from sensors at volcanos. 50 years from now they'll have alot of data and maybe we'll see a pattern
It does make a difference just b/c evidence points one way or another they don't know conclusively. There is also frequently disagreement on what the evidence suggests. Good Scientists don't talk in conclusions.
kutulukutu That was my first thought, too
I just love how this man speaks, soooo clear. he could narrate story about anything. keep up the good work. watch his other documentaries.

@T R shutup tosser
Shame that at the end commentator says one erupts on Earth every 700,000 years.. this is simply just not the case - Yellowstone alone erupts with this frequency, but a number of other super volcanoes (capable of VEI 8) have been identified including two in North America, Toba in Indonesia (which erupted 74,000 years ago) Kagoshima Japan and Taupo in NZ that are still active. Frequency is thus more like every 100,000 years.
Ian Williams
He most likely meant 70,000 years - just put one too many zeros. THAT SAID, you'd think someone would be assigned to watch the whole thing to look for obvious errors, before it was foisted on an unsuspecting public, lol.
Hang on, the sooner the last super eruption, the longer it would be to the next one, so those other examples are good signs, not bad ones.
There are super volcanoes in other parts of the US, including a huge caldera in California that seems to be waking up from a very long nap.
Most Americans think they are alone on the planet... only THEIR catastrophes matter.
I realize this is an old documentary - but it should be noted that Yellowstone has erupted more like 10 times rather than 3.
Really? I did not know that. Yikes ...
Where did you get this information about10 eruptions may i ask.. i only ask because there's been 3 super eruptions in the last 2.1 million years.. right every 700000 years.. is got about 100000 years to go of we go by that time scale, nobody truly knows how math times it is erupted, because most of that information has been buried by subsequent eruptions, besides the 3 super eruptions we know of there has been 80 mostly non explosive eruptions since the last super eruption.. the last one happened aboit 70,000 years ago and that was basically just a little lava flow on the pitchstone plateau
@@Baba_Yaga_87 go and look for the various calderas the Yellowstone hot
spot has left - a hint - starts in western Oregon. Granted, not all have been as big as the one that it created to where the park now sits. maybe this will work - www.usgs.gov/media/images/track-yellowstone-hotspot
In the documentary you state that ash from Yellowstone could rise as high as 11 miles, but Krakatoa threw ash even higher(nearly 17 miles) and it was nowhere near the size of Yellowstone.
"The hot springs and geisers have attracted tourists for a hundred years. Unbeknownst to them.."
Are.You.Serious!? I think literally *everyone* looking to visit Yellowstone knows it's is a gigantic volcano.
I can't imagine a single tourist being just astonished to hear that they are visiting one of the world's few supervolcanoes..
It's like going to Egypt and being just amazed that there are pyramids there and not just the river Nile..
Most tourists would wonder what rock you've been living under *not* knowing that..
Too true... every time they go on about Yellowstoner they say exactly the same thing... I think that's being announced for any American that visits there.

Yes, it was incredibly ignorant even back then.
Isn't this the reason why stradivaruis sound the way they do? because of the small amount of sunlight created extremely tight growth rings in that forest making it extra awesome for sound?
So where is it that violins grow wild...?
According to the video "Little Ice Age" (IIRC) that's a strong speculation but I don't think anyone who owns a Stradivarius has allowed anyone else to take a sample of one.

You didn't tell anything about the noise of the explosion, which itself will be enough loud to kill many people in a very wide area. The sound made by the Krakatoa volcanic eruption in 1883 was so loud it ruptured eardrums of people 40 miles away; we can hardly imagine what would happen in the case of supervolcano eruption.
this was probably one of the most well informing videos on Yellowstone I have seen in a very long time from start to finish. Definitely recommending this to people.
1086AD Taupo blew in New Zealand. The last super volcano that blew in the world. It was also one of the largest known. Chinese and Romans wrote about the sky's changing colour.
Yellowstone isn’t the largest super volcano I think it’s about 6th, it isn’t even the largest in the US. I get it makes for the prettiest documentaries but a bit of accuracy would be nice.
When mother nature says it's time for a cleanse, there isn't much we can do.

I wouldn't get too worried. The scientist at Yellowstone say there have no changes in the level of the Magma in the chamber since they first started monitoring it years ago, when they first got the technology to do that.
Yellowstone is the least of our worries. Climate change is a problem. Unfortunately americans have been successfully fooled by big business into thinking its not real.
Wow! Amazing that Yellow Stone is a baby compared to Tamu Massif (whose base is under the northern Pacific Ocean) and even one over near Italy which encompasses much of the Mediterranean Sea and neighboring land masses 😱.

@@stevenschnepp576 Do you know where you got the programming that you seem to enjoy so much? Why cling to lies so tightly? Why not look at the evidence instead of regurgitating the toxic idiotic demonic vomit over and over?
@@WhirledPublishing Name me one bit of evidence that contradicts my claims to the old age of the Earth.
@@stevenschnepp576 You listed "claims" - you did not list proof or evidence - all of your claims have been exposed as fraud - if you don't believe it, do the research and see for yourself.
Since I did not believe the claims, I pursued evidence - and found the timeline for our Earth documented by our ancestors in hundreds of independent historic records, written in over a dozen languages from all across our Earth, going back over 600 years with explanations going back to the early beginnings of our Earth - this documentation by our ancestors includes reports in the captain's logs from the sailing ships going back hundreds of years - as well as hundreds of other sources - this documentation includes the timeline for our Earth's continents, oceans, mountains, volcanic eruptions, Earth's expansion, Earth's colossal tsunami waves, Earth's broken and subducted tectonic plates, Earth's ocean trenches, Earth's archipelago islands, Earth's glaciers and ice shelves, etc. - all of that is documented by our ancestors who tell us the timeline from geologists, glaciologists, Egyptologists, Bible Scholars, carbon dating, ice cores, etc., is all disinfo.
I could not believe the timeline they were giving us because it is shockingly short - so I came up with ways to prove their short timeline is wrong - I pursued several angles on this evidence to prove their short timeline for our mountains is false, to prove their short timeline for Antarctica is false, to prove their short timeline for the volcanic eruptions is short, etc. - I approached the timeline from many angles including the timeline for music, the timeline for architecture, the timeline for the megaliths, the timeline for our human history, the timeline for shipping routes, the timeline in the Bible, the timeline for the ancient cities and so on - every single pursuit that I ventured into clearly corroborated the short timeline from our ancestors while simultaneously contradicting the timeline lies that we were programmed to believe in.
For example, we were told Vesuvius decimated Pompeii thousands of years go - but numerous independent sources of evidence clearly tell us that Vesuvius decimated Pompeii in 1631 - since Pliny the Elder reportedly died in that decimation and since Pliny the Elder reportedly lived contemporaneously with Nero, we can see how their timeline for our human history is again exposed as intentional disinfo.
On and on and on the evidence goes - in thousands of independent sources from all across our Earth, written in over a dozen languages - if you prefer claims and "theories" - forget I mentioned it.
If you want to see the evidence, study the voluminous evidence like I did - and see for yourself - it's that simple.
Dozens and dozens of links to the evidence are under my uploaded videos.

After mt St. Helens we found ash on our roof in San Antonio Texas. I was amazed it could fly so far. Of course I was six when the volcano erupted.
I was in the Navy at Bremerton, Washington. The ash played hell with ship machinery. Planes were grounded in the area due to ash clouds for weeks.
We had ash reach the Ohio Valley. I was 9yrs old in 1980 when St. Helen erupted. We watched the news that her ash cloud blew clear to New York.
Most people are unaware that Yellowstone National Park is just the inside of 1giant Super Volcano. Yellowstone is underlain by two magma bodies. The shallower one is composed of rhyolite (a high-silica rock type) and stretches from 5 km to about 17 km (3 to 10 mi) beneath the surface and is about 90 km (55 mi) long and about 40 km (25 mi) wide There are two types of eruptions in terms of activity, explosive eruptions and effusive eruptions. Explosive eruptions are characterized by gas-driven explosions that propels magma and tephra. Effusive eruptions, meanwhile, are characterized by the outpouring of lava without significant explosive eruption. But the main danger is the Pyroclastic flow. A pyroclastic flow is a dense, fast-moving flow of solidified lava pieces, volcanic ash, and hot gases. It occurs as part of certain volcanic eruptions. A pyroclastic flow is extremely hot, burning anything in its path. It may move at speeds as high as 200 m/s. The extreme temperatures of rocks and gas inside pyroclastic flows, generally between 200°C and 700°C (390-1300°F).
Finally, somebody with half an ounce of common Sense who actually researched properly.... Some of these comments are laughable, don't you think ???? Lol

For goodness sakes, the juddery imagery is so cheap, so meaningless. This is a scientific subject. Please treat it accordingly.
your right bout part of it but the real blast is when the lava chamber is half empty or so the top of the hole caldera collapses into the lava chamber

What these people fail to say is that there is a place in Yellowstone that is called raspberry ridge. Its a ridge that was once a mountain that has very unique characteristics in its soil. When Yellowstone exploded the last time, it left an ENTIRE INCH of soil everywhere in the world. Thats right scientists have found it on every continent, some old islands and in the northern and southern ice caps. Even in the sediment on the ocean floor. Thats how big it blew. Ash is bad enough but an inch of soil falling from the sky? no sun, no crops. I am betting that only a few hundred million people on the planet will survive it, if it actually happens.
Amazing documentary! Well done! Thank you for sharing it with us.😊

Welcome to jumanji
Interestingly, Yellowstone is currently not capable of an eruption due to its magma chamber being mostly solid. It would take years for it to liquify.
There are however many other huge volcanoes that aren’t as well monitored, and could go with far less warning.

I could see australia erupting.
Will they say that Yellowstone is long over due so will see hopefully it doesn’t go
I wish people of the United States of America and the rest of the world safety and happy life for them and their beloved ones

I luve u buddy
Yellowstone is part of a complex called the Snake River caldera. In the past those eruption have not been explosive but have created huge basaltic lave flows like the Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. The explosive eruptions of the past weren't typical. While the conventional wisdom says super volcano, have in the back of your mind a super basaltic lave flow as happens in Iceland and Hawaii.
Yellowstone : I'm the strongest and most popular supervolcano

You want to see the damage of pyroclastic flow look at Pompeii
Can’t That was in 79 ad
Herculaneum
that's just a little one,while most super eruptions are strato volcanos not all strato volcanos are super eruptions,course if you are near it it doesn't really matter

For more recent examples, look up the imagery of Sofriere Hills on Montserrat.

The last time it blew up it was in Idaho! Because of plate tectonics, it is now in Wyoming. Read my comment that I wrote 3 months ago about how I found out about it.
no...tldr.
"All volcanoes warn us they are about to erupt." Oh, really? By email or snail-mail letter? "Dear inhabitants, this is to inform you that I have recently not been feeling well, and could erupt at any moment. Have a nice day."
Most volcanoes precede eruptions with "harmonic tremors", which are caused when the magma column moves upwards through the underlying and surrounding rock, shattering it. During this process the most volatile gases (like carbon dioxide) tend to ride the head of the magma column up in much the same way that carbon dioxide rises to the top of a bottle of beer or soda pop can when you open it. That also brings up the way that decreasing pressures (opening a beer) enables gases to quickly diffuse out of the magma mass and rush to the top of the column. That process occurs over and over as the column rises, and under the right conditions it can act like a military "first wave", helping the magma column shatter the overlying rock above it and punch through into an eruption. I strongly suspect that's why the massive release of carbon dioxide in the low-lying area which killed the bison was so worrisome to the Yellowstone geologists and rangers.
could they drill pressure relief holes to release pressure?
