The Yellowstone volcano is unlikely to be active anytime soon. But imagine: what if it blew up tomorrow? How would the United States and the world at large be affected?

  • I've always had an irrational fear of Yellowstone ever since I learned about it as a kid
  • @Plab1402
    I remember when like in 2016-2018 everyone was making videos about this! Good job mate!

    I live in Post Falls, Idaho, over a far flung part of the Yellowstone magma chamber far below. Most folks don't realize how very, very large this magma chamber is. And yeah, most of it is very deep down and, for the most part, stable (for now, anyway). And I don't really worry about Yellowstone blowing up anytime soon, or at least in my lifetime, because this is a live volcano that "breathes", in that it is regularly releasing steam/super heated water from it's magma chamber. The surface of the current caldera, which surrounds Yellowstone Lake, rises and falls on a pretty regular basis. Pressure builds and the land of the caldera basin rises, then pressure is released, and the land subsides again. It's been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years and no significant changes have been found since it's been monitored on an hourly basis.

    First time I saw Yellowstone was in 2013. I visited again last year and absolutely could notice way more steam vents and dead patches of trees surrounding them than I did ten years prior.

    I can remember when Mt. St. Helen erupted. I don't remember exactly what year but do remember that.
