The Yellowstone Volcano is located over a hotspot, a fixed area in the Earth's mantle where a plume of hot magma rises to the surface, creating volcanic activity. While the tectonic plates move over time, the hotspot remains stationary. This is why the Yellowstone Hotspot has created a chain...
USGS Scientist-in-Charge of Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, Jake Lowenstern, explains volcanic features at Yellowstone and answers several interesting questions which include: "How do we know Yellowstone is a volcano?" and "What is a Supervolcano?"...
The Yellowstone Caldera, sometimes referred to as the Yellowstone Supervolcano, is a volcanic caldera and supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park in the Western United States. The caldera measures 43 by 28 miles (70 by 45 kilometers). Researcher’s Expertise, Energy, and Empathy Leave a Legacy...
Yellowstone Supervolcano: American Doomsday: Directed by Jobim Sampson. With Larry Davis, Shaun Dooley. Imagine a modern Pompeii, a time bomb bigger than 1, 000 Hiroshima bombs, or a disaster zone 10 million times the size of Ground Zero. Sounds impossib
The Yellowstone Caldera is a volcanic caldera and super volcano. The volcanism at Yellowstone deal with the Caldera, it was created during an eruption, these events took place in 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 630100 year ago. The caldera is a volcanic depression. It occurs, when the magma is...
volcano has often been called a super volcano because it is so big.Scientists believe major volcanic activity in the Yellowstone area began about two millionyears ago.This activity created violent explosions and built mountains and valleys.Expertsbelieve this super volcano had three major explosions ...
Yellowstone is perhaps the world's most famous 'super-volcano' with an explosive history stretching back more than 2 million years and abundant contemporary evidence of a voluminous magmatic system. The first explosive eruption at Yellowstone was the largest, the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff with a volume...
Scientists agree the Yellowstone super volcano is unlikely to blow anytime soon. Should it erupt, it would be a disaster. The eruption would shoot out enough rock and ash to cover most of the United States. So in 2017, NASA scientists ran a thought experiment to see if they could stop ...
changes, and seismic swarms, all of which have been followed with great interest and rising some concern. 70 small earthquake swarms were recorded at Yellowstone volcano between 1983 and 2006. On the other hand, such activity is probably entirely normal for a large dormant super-volcano. ...
