Roj47 Posted July 21, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Whilst scanning round Google to learn more about Super-volcanoes I came across this article posted by Dee Finney. I attach the link to a VERY LONG page just to ensite some debate. http://www.earthmountainview.com/yellowstone/yellowstone.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conspiracy Posted July 21, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2006 yellowstone is a ticking time bomb, most people say it wont blow in our life time but with recent activity there im sorta doubting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavie Posted July 21, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2006 According to some studies the Yellowstone is actually overdue for an eruption. On the other hand the scientists only have 3 known Yellowstone eruptions to base part of their pattern on. But also the study of all known super-volcanos suggested (supposedly) a pattern of eruptions and in that study Yellowstone is also overdue. All that was in a show I watched while back on discovery channel, was very interesting. Basically the show stated we are overdue for super-volcano eruption and since Yellowstone is the only known active super-volcano it’s it’s turn. The way my luck goes I bet it will blow the day I take my vacation there …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly it is overdue by around 40,000 years, so another 1000+ won't make a huge difference, but it could be tomo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted July 21, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The way my luck goes I bet it will blow the day I take my vacation there …. At least you'd be finished quickly...everyone else would die slowly in a nuclear winter. I don't think it's going to erupt any time soon, but when it does, it won't be pretty.

ArgenVert Posted July 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2006 There was a dramatization of what would happen if Yellowstone erupted on the Discovery Channel once. Lots of mudslides, raining ash, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
