What a Yellowstone Eruption Would Look Like
An expert from the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory has revealed some of the most likely impacts of an eruption in the famed national park.
Yellowstone volcanic activity is on the move, experts say — but will it erupt anytime soon?
Yellowstone National Park, known for erupting geysers like Old Faithful, is home to one of earth’s largest volcanic systems, with the capacity to wreak havoc on an entire continent — and components of that so-called supervolcano are on the move, experts say.
Will Yellowstone Erupt Soon? Scientists Are Using New Techniques to Find Out
Using magnetotellurics, researchers produced a detailed picture of the magma beneath Yellowstone, offering insights into a distant future of possible volcanic activity
Scientists reveal why the mighty Yellowstone isn't ready to blow
New research reveals why the famously steamy park, hosting over 500 hot geysers, shows no signs of blowing its top. These days, the reservoirs of magma (molten rock) that feed Yellowstone hold pretty low concentrations of this magma. They simply don't contain enough volcanic fuel to drive the heat and pressure that would stoke an eruption.
Yellowstone Won't Erupt Anytime Soon, Scientists Confirm
"This number is based simply on averaging the two intervals between the three major past eruptions at Yellowstone—this is hardly enough to make a critical judgment," the USGS Yellowstone fact sheet reads. "Catastrophic geologic events are neither regular nor predictable."
Scientists track changes at the Yellowstone supervolcano. Could it blow again?
The giant supervolcano that lies under Yellowstone National Park is cooling off in the west but staying hot in the northeast.
How Likely Is A Volcanic Eruption At Yellowstone?
Deep beneath Yellowstone National Park is an enormous volcanic crater hundreds of thousands of years old. Researchers have found a new way to track changes in the crater by studying electromagnetic fields instead of seismic activity.
Will Yellowstone National Park erupt? Scientists have new answers.
New mapping of the magma lying beneath Yellowstone National Park sheds light on where volcanic activity is shifting, and the likelihood of a full-scale eruption.
Yellowstone is unlikely to erupt soon. But we should still keep an eye on it
It’s not hard to see why researchers are worried about a Yellowstone eruption. If the supervolcano were to erupt, the consequences would be devastating. The ashfall alone could render vast areas uninhabitable,
