      How Satan is lying to everyone that the earth is billions of years old… when it’s only 6,000… and Jesus is coming soon so people should be placing their faith in him while you still have time… Bible Prophecies are jumping off the pages. We are at the end of the last days. And if you don’t place your faith in him then you will soon see plenty of disasters like never before. The only way to escape what’s coming on the earth is placing your faith in Jesus now… call on the name of the Lord
      What must you do to be saved… believe the gospel…
      God gave up his glory was born of a virgin. Jesus is 💯 God 💯 man. He walked a perfect life. Shed his blood to pay our sin debt, died, was buried and rose on the 3rd day

    One thing the video didn't go into detail about is how heavy the ash would be when it accumulates. Apparently only 4 inches of wet ash could cause the average roof to cave in. This means that the ash would poison all the lakes and rivers it touches, We cant use cars or planes in the affected area, and it would also destroy any shelter most people could find. The consequences would truly be dire and on a scale the country has never seen before.

    One thing that I remember my geology professors explaining is that the 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.

      @davidcowan4705 Рік тому

      Mt. St. Helen eruption and its aftermath proved to me the universe and our earth is only 6000 years old. When the Flood occurred, you had dozens of tectonic shifts, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, 40 days of rain, the pushing of mountains and the formation of the 7 continents instantaneously within 14 months or so. The animals (fossils) died instantly, Trees and their trunks were buried "as is" due to the Flood. This is why some dinosaurs and other animals at that time still have proteins and food particles in their buried (entombed ) bodies. The runoff of the water and mud is what formed canyons and strata. Scientists have proven this to be true. Fossils of oceanic fish and other aquatic animals have been found at the top of some of the highest mountains. They ended up there because they floated upwards due to the high waters. Evolution is a lie. Atheism is a lie. If you believe I'm wrong, you're an idiot for ignoring solid evidence.

    A good friend of mine in college was a grad student in Geology from Switzerland. He chose Oregon State because of it's geology program, location in the Ring of Fire, and it was as close to Yellowstone as he could get. He did his doctoral thesis on the Yellowstone supervolcano and told me things that had me quacking in my boots, like how the ground level keeps rising every year (this was in the 90s). He eventually let me off the hook and said it was very unlikely to happen within our lifetime, but for a whole term I thought the end was near. I grew up in Oregon and saw Mt St Helens erupt in 81. I was pretty young, but I remember being able to see the ash plume from Salem, hundreds of miles away, and how the ash covered everything and turned the sky dark. My cousin lives in a neighborhood built on land that didn't exist before the eruption, made of mountains of ash washed down the river that permanently changed the river's course. St Helesn was a relatively small volcano, so I can't imagine how wild something as big as Yellowstone would be. The park itself is basically sitting in the massive caldera. Ironically enough, I live in southern Washington now and can see Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier from the end of my street, St Helens being the last to erupt and Rainier possibly being the next in the Cascade Range. I'm tempted to move to upstate New York. lol On a side note, one of the reasons NASA astronauts often train on volcanoes is because in many cases the ash is very similar to the reoalith found on the surface of the moon. It's like very fine broken glass.

    The magma dome under Yellowstone has been moving gradually eastward (or, more to the point, continental drift has been moving the surface). The last eruption, 640k years ago, actually occurred near the present location of Arco, Idaho. The Craters of the Moon National Monument, near Arco, is the lava flow from that ancient eruption.

    Not only did it kill car engines…it was like a layer of cement in the soil for years. I scraped it off my garden…I think they must have picked up piles of it’s everyone had to get it off the roof. That was in May and it was a cool Summer….

    I’ve been to Yellowstone in 1991
    I didn’t feel safe, the ground was squirrelly feeling
    Some areas I “ imagined” a faint rumbling feeling on my feet. My husband felt “nothing”. I also felt strange and the goosebumps rose on my arms. When we walked around the Old Faithful area. When Old Faithful erupted it was lots worse of course
    After walking around the upper areas geysers I thought walking a few other areas would feel less rumbling
    To say the least I was on edge the whole time.
    What I know today
    Yellowstone is only the caldera of a super volcano!
    I also found out the Forrest Service decided to try and find an area around Yellowstone to cut another road.
    They thought they had found another area they could possibly use.
    Once they got into that area.
    they found hot spots and trees smoldering.
    Hence not suitable for a road.
    Everyone must understand before hand.That you are walking on a Super Volcano’s Caldera
    Not a strange mountain

    Yosemite large?
    Grand Canyon large?

    They found out about Yellowstone because of the missing mountains. If you pause the video at 30 seconds, look at the streak below and left of the Yellowstone hot spot. It heads toward the elbow of the graphic and bends back to the north and west all the way into Oregon. Geologists knew there was a volcano under Yellowstone but didn't realize it was a super volcano until they noticed that the ranges of mountains surrounding Yellowstone were missing mountains. That streak is the path of the hotspot that kept erupting, taking whole mountains as it drifted underground.

    This failed to mention that
    a) the hot spot is slowly drifting northeast - more accurately, the continental crust is slowly moving southwest. The northeast crust is extremely ancient craton, which is resistant to volcanism. Eventually, North America will drift enough to position the hot spot under Manitoba and THAT might be a mess. That’s like, several million years away though.
    b) Iceland sits on top of a much more active hot spot. You can see from what’s happening in Grindavik, that scientists can tell when things are getting spicy belowground.
    In the extremely unlikely event that the Yellowstone volcano becomes active and nears eruption, we’ll have YEARS of warning.
    Idk what we’d actually do about it, but minimally, they’d have plenty of time to evacuate….basically three or four states.
    Weirdly, this video both overstated the drama (it wouldn’t suddenly erupt one day without warning), and greatly underestimated the impact.
    This would be, minimally, a minor extinction event. There’s already too much carbon being pumped into the atmosphere. This could outgas enough methane and CO2 to tip the scale into runaway heating.
    It’s difficult to tell, honestly. It might, on the other hand hand, disrupt civilization enough to stop anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
    It’s not something we currently have to worry about though. It’s really just a thought experiment.

    On the plus side, once the eruption takes place, the deposit of ash will ultimately make the soil around there more fertile, as it is in Hawaii. Also the clouds of ash in the atmosphere lowering the temperature in the Northern Hemisphere will alter the weather and possibly make it more prone to rain. So the addition of nutrients to the soil and the change in weather to a wetter cycle will ultimately cause a fluorescence of plant and animal life as it did around St Helen's in the decades since.

    Okay this video is a bit silly, first of Yellowstone won’t erupt, this eruption won’t be the most dramatic or even deadly on earth, and Yellowstone is only ranked below 20 on the most dangerous volcanos in the US.
    Okay now i may just sound like I’m ranting on nothing but hear me out first off there are thousands of huge companies constantly monitoring Yellowstone and it’s effects, and if it were to erupt we would have a minimum of several years, but if you look deep into Yellowstone we can tell what stage the magma is at by looking at the natural rise and fall of the volcano, Yellowstone does not currently have any significant magma store, instead a large portion of there there store is just hot water right now. but wait didn’t he say Yellowstone is moving, ( 6:12 ) yea every volcano on the planet moves, look at the 3 sisters in Oregon they have been moving there hole life, many volcanos in Italy move meters a year, Yellowstone isn’t different and compared to the normal historical rise and fall and movement of Yellowstone lake we can confidently say Yellowstone is acting perfectly normal,

      But also, scientists can give us many many years’ warning before this particular event.
      Hot spot volcanoes on continents aren’t as unpredictable as oceanic island volcanoes.
      As far as scope and impact of supervolcanoes, look up continental flood basalts.
      That’s when the mantle finds a way to directly pour magma over most of a continent. That’s just impossible to understand as humans. Even geologists have difficulty describing what happens in those events.
      Again, though, continental volcanism can’t sneak up on us. We’re not gonna wake up one day to the news that Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana have all turned inside out and RIP North America.
      We’ll have years, possibly a generation or more of warning signs.

      This was a kind of terrible video. Scientists would be able to give us somewhere between 5 and 20+ years’ warning. They really didn’t make that clear. Yellowstone is similar to Iceland, except WAY WAY less active. You can see from the news there, that scientists can easily give people enough warning to get out of danger, even on that much more volatile hot spot.
      There’s also very very very very little chance of a Yellowstone eruption. This video implies that it’s imminent and that’s simply not true.
      The Yellowstone hot spot is drifting slowly northeast. Well, North America is drifting southeast, actually.
      The continental rock into which it’s moving, is the original North American craton that goes back to the time before there was even life.
      That continental crust has already survived massive asteroid impacts, crashing into Africa and separating again, multiple times, three different orogenies and rifting events, multiple glaciations, and millions of cycles of the earth tilting back and forth.
      Scientists believe that the hot spot is already under enough of that highly stable geology to greatly reduce the risk of catastrophic eruption.

      @@stephenjargiello3735The video is a bit misleading on how volcanic activity actually works.
      If we even had the technology to bore down to the magma intrusion (we definitely don’t), opening tiny holes would do absolutely nothing.
      The volume of the hot spot is miles deep and hundreds of miles wide.

    This smells suspiciously like click-bait. For one thing, Yellowstone is NOT overdue for an eruption. Volcanoes do not work in predictable ways and their eruptions do not follow predictable schedules. Even so, the math doesn’t work out for this volcano to be “overdue” for an eruption. In terms of large explosions, Yellowstone has experienced three at 2.08, 1.3, and 0.631 million years ago. This comes out to an average of about 725,000 years between eruptions. That being the case, there is still about 100,000 years to go. Also, although another catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone is not impossible, scientists are not convinced that one will ever happen. The rhyolite magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is only 5-15% molten (the rest is solidified but still hot), so it is unclear if there is even enough magma beneath the caldera to feed an eruption.

      what are you on lol many schools out west do trainings for scenarios like yellowstone and you obviously dont understand active volcanoes. the chambers below would crmble from such pressure and half the us will shift and be covered with thick ash.

    Winds would take the ash in that direction. It is more likely to blow towards the Atlantic coastal states than to blow south.

    I have considered writing a piece of fan fiction where the Mass Effect game universe is one in which Yellowstone's super-eruption occurred on June 27, 2089, long before the events of the first game. It would be fascinating to explore how this event -- in what characters like Commander Shepard would consider to be the past -- altered human social, economic, and political affairs. If one were to suppose that such a thing happened, then that might be part of the in-universe reason why North America in the Mass Effect universe is not divided into the same number of countries as it is today.
