The caldera inside Yellowstone National Park is called Supervision, because of its ability to bring global destruction in the event of an accident. It was formed during the last three major events in the last 2.1 million years, with lava creeks erupting about 630,000 years ago. Located below the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, the area is constantly monitored by the USGS (United States Geological Survey) for indications that history may repeat itself.
And Mike Poland, the scientist in charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, details how researchers have uncovered system secrets during USGS ‘new video’ The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory: Observation, Surveillance, Risks and Significant Outcomes’.
Dr. Poland said: “The Yellowstone system is made up of multiple magma chambers. We have this coating melting inconsistently beneath the surface.
“But there’s a couple of magma chambers that feed this melting discrepancy.
“There is a very deep hole 15 miles or so below a surface, and it is filled with a very low viscosity magma called basalt.
“It’s the kind of thing that comes out of the air, low viscosity, it flows very easily.
“In turn, it feeds a high-level reservoir of basaltic magma body light – a sticky magma, which is more explosive, and it sits three miles below the surface in parts of the Yellowstone.”
But de Poland Poland explains how these rooms are not supposed to be filled with molten rock.
He added: “But don’t think of this as giant magma bodies that are just full of boiling, boiling liquid.
“In fact, most of this is solid. The upper reservoir is only five to 15 percent melted, and the lower reservoir here is only two to five percent melted.

“It’s a ridiculous plastic Y zone that will melt a little.
“Yellowstone is just what the magma system looks like, and this is what is causing the crisis in the region.
“Now, of course, the most well-known threat is the big explosions, that’s what everyone is talking about.”
Dr. Poland sent a warning to Poland about the capabilities of Eutrostone.
He said: “Everyone knows about the explosions that will take place at the end of the world.
“These are very big explosions, not the end of the world, but some of them have happened in the last two million years.
“Three of them, one that happened 2.1 million years ago, the smallest size 1.3 million years ago, and then 630,000 years ago, we created the Yellowstone Cadera in the park itself.
“If that happened today, it would be devastating for the central part of the United States.
“We’ve done simulations on how the ash will fall and the ash cuts most of the blankets in the US, this is probably 63 when this caldera formed 63 631,000 years ago.”
However, the expert detailed the type of explosion that is being seen more.
He added: “But the likelihood of such an event is very remote, it happens once or twice every million years.
“The interval between these things is more than 700,000 years between events.
“All that happens is lava flows. Since the last large Yellowstone eruption, 631,000 years ago, there have been about two dozen lava flows, and you can see them in these different colors.
“The initial pulse of lava flow activity was 500-600,000 years ago.
“We had these orange bits of lava coming out, and then there was another pulse of activity that came about 170,000 years ago to 70,000 years ago, which gave us all this pink color. [shaded] Lava here. ”
