A suicide attack on a caldera inside Yellowstone National Park is likely to cause numerous catastrophes – something that has not happened in 630,000 years. Located below the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, the area is constantly monitored by the USGS (United States Geological Survey) for any changes to the system. But, with experts saying that the chances of a second invasion “in our lifetime” are closer to one million, science writer Brian Wallace asked: “Why isn’t anyone taking this problem more seriously?”
The author of ‘A Brief Guide to the World’ claims: “Combining the two is human nature, but not impossible.”
In an article promoting his book, Mr. Wallace said the potential catastrophe would be like “never felt by humanity,” before believing it to be an early sign of disaster.
He wrote: “The first strong earthquake will come, indicating that magma is rushing to the surface beneath the Yellowstone.
“The magma will then dissipate the Earth’s toxic interior into the air and burst from the ground with a Titanic explosion.

“It will continue for days and bury Yellowstone in lava within a radius of 40 miles.
“But the beginning of the devastation around Yellowstone will be just the beginning.”
Mr. Wallace went into detail as to why he believes more Americans should be concerned about the possibility of resolving this scenario.
He added: “Volcanologists believe that the Yellowstone disaster will bury large parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah in toxic volcanic ash.
“Depending on the weather system most of the Midwest will get a few inches, the area is plunged into darkness.

“But along the coast – where most Americans live – most of the time, as soon as the ash cloud spreads, it will eat away at the dust.”
“Crops will be destroyed, gravel land will be contaminated, power lines and electrical transformers will be ruined, most of the potential grid will collapse.”
But Mr. Walsh claimed that the destruction was a U.S. Will not be limited to.
He added: “Modeling by meteorologists has shown that released aerosols spread globally if they explode during the summer.
“In the short term, the toxic cloud has blocked sunlight, the global average temperature could drop significantly – and not return to normal for several years.
“The rain will fall quickly.

“That’s enough to cut down tropical rainforests. Farming may begin in the Midwest.
“It will be the biggest disaster since the dawn of civilization.”
USGS It is estimated to erupt at 730,000 in any given year, but Mr. Wallace believes that “existing threats” such as Yellowstone should be getting more attention and funding.
He continued in 2019: “Around the world, 556 people died last year in plane crashes.
“The Federal Aviation Administration spends more than 7 7 billion (4 .4.4 billion) a year on aviation security, even though the U.S. It spends only m 22 million (m 17 million) annually on its volcanic hazard programs – not supervocal oes, in the long run, will kill many more people than plane crashes.
“The difference, of course, is that aviation is a risk that is relatively constant and well-known.

“There will probably never be a year in which no one dies in a flight accident, but there will never be a year in which 10 per cent of the world’s population dies in a single plane crash.
“Yet it could happen with supervisors, asteroid strikes or nuclear war.”
The author concludes that “what happened can happen before and will happen again, eventually.” Ignoring Yellowstone’s threat, “we weaken ourselves.”
Despite this, a recent study has suggested that hotspots may be in a declining state at present.
These findings were based on an analysis of volcanic deposits that stretched thousands of miles across the region.
Thomas Knott Jun, a volcanologist at the University of Leicester, said: “We discovered that the deposits were previously thought to be multiple, small eruptions, in fact about nine of the previous two unknown forces and a massive layer of volcanic material about 7 million years ago. Was. “
Two super-eruptions, it happened during the Miocene, and brings six people to the region in this era, indicating that the region experiences these eruptions on average once every 500,000 years.
In contrast, in the last three million years, the Yellowstone hotspot has seen only two malignancies.
Scientists believe that this may indicate that the frequency of such events is significantly slower.
