Supervolcano June. Scientists talk about the beginning of the Yellowstone volcano eruption
Klyuchevskoy Volcano erupted three times in two days - on June 12 and 13 and threw ash at 7 km, 8 km and 5 km; Shiveluch, taking up the “baton”, threw ashes to a height of 12 km above sea level on June 14, reports Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT).
At the Klyuchevskoy volcano, no ash fall was observed in nearby settlements. The ash plume at its maximum emission spread 135 km in a southeast direction from the volcano towards Kamchatka Bay. There are no tourist groups in the area of the giant. There are no international aircraft routes in this area.
The volcano has been assigned an “orange” aviation hazard code.
Shiveluch volcano on June 14 at 16:26 GMT (local time - early in the morning of June 15, at 4:26) ejected ash to a height of up to 12 km above sea level, the ash plume was divided into two clouds, one of which was carried away the wind in a north-easterly direction from the volcano - into Karaginsky Bay, the second - in a southerly direction from the giant. As a result, ash fell in a number of settlements in the region. Thus, in the village of Kozyrevsk, the village of Maiskoye, Ust-Kamchatsky district, the villages of Atlasovo, Lazo and the village of Taezhny, Milkovsky district, the thickness of the ash was 1 mm.
The village of Klyuchi, Ust-Kamchatka region, was also covered in ash; its thickness was 3 mm. Due to the ashfall, the school and kindergarten in the village were closed. Local residents wear gauze bandages. There were no complaints from people.
The livelihoods of the population in the affected settlements have not been disrupted.
« ... History teaches that the lack of unity of human society on spiritual and moral foundations and joint actions of people on the planet, continent, region in relation to preparation for large-scale cataclysms and disasters results in the destruction of most of these people. And the survivors die from incurable diseases, epidemics, self-destruction in wars and civil strife in the struggle for sources of life support. Trouble usually appears suddenly, causing chaos and panic. Only advance preparation and unity of the peoples of the world in the face of threatening natural dangers gives humanity a great chance of survival and joint overcoming of difficulties in an era associated with global climate change on the planet.” Quote from dsalary of the ALLATRA SCIENCE community of scientists
« » .
The Yellowstone volcano has long been a concern not only for scientists, but also for ordinary people. He attracted the attention of scientists around the world. They gave an approximate time frame for when one of the most dangerous volcanoes on the planet could erupt.
Scientists have written many articles and put forward many theories regarding the behavior of Yellowstone.
There are suggestions that the volcano will awaken in the coming years, but most are of the opinion that this catastrophe will happen within a millennium. It is difficult to say what to believe; each theory supports its correctness with a set of certain data.
As you know, Yellowstone is located on the territory of a nature reserve. Here, at almost every step, various equipment is placed, including all kinds of sensors that record every breath of the volcano and even the slightest changes.
Scientists, based on an analysis of the latest data, have concluded that Yellowstone will erupt this century. No one can name the exact date of the start of the eruption. This can happen at any time.
Magma rising beneath Yellowstone
And now we are told that “a 750-kilometer-long piece of molten rock is rising” right beneath Yellowstone:
“Scientists are monitoring a piece of molten rock 750 km away rising beneath the Yellowstone Caldera. The supervolcano, located in Yellowstone National Park, has erupted three times in Earth's history - 2.1 million years ago and 640,000 years ago. Volcanoes typically explode when molten rock, known as magma, rises to the surface, melting the Earth's mantle due to shifting tectonic plates. However, geologists have reported how the magma chamber above the magma plume slowly rises year after year.”
Let's hope that nothing significant happens to Yellowstone for a very long time.
But experts say a full-scale eruption will one day occur, and when it does, it will be able to create a “volcanic winter” that will make it nearly impossible to grow crops and ultimately lead to terrible famine in many regions.
Scientists have found out when the Yellowstone supervolcano will provoke a large-scale disaster
A group of scientists have made predictions about when the Yellowstone supervolcano will cause a major catastrophe on Earth. The US-based facility may become fully operational in the near future.
According to researchers, Yellowstone could be fully “ready” in less than 100 years. For Earth, this implies a catastrophe of frightening proportions, since the eruption of this supervolcano can be compared with the explosions of about a thousand atomic bombs. If this happens, the United States will turn into a “dead zone” completely covered in ash. The rest of the earth's continents may plunge into darkness. Scientists from Russia voice no less pessimistic forecasts in this regard.
How will Yellowstone explode?
Volcanologists suggest that before the explosion of the Yellowstone volcano, the earth will rise another few tens of meters. At the same time, the soil temperature will heat up to 70°C.
The explosion will immediately release volcanic ash, which will rise approximately 50 km into the sky.
This will be followed by a release of magma that will cover a gigantic area. All this will be accompanied by powerful earthquakes.
In the first minutes after the explosion, about 200 thousand people will die from the hot lava alone. Then people will die from subsequent earthquakes and tsunamis.
Ultimately, the number of deaths will reach 10 million. All this will resemble the legendary Armageddon.
It is worth noting that volcanic ash particles are so tiny that respirators cannot prevent them from entering the lungs. Once in the human body, the ash begins to harden and turn into stone.
Thus, people living even thousands of kilometers from the volcano will also be in mortal danger.
In addition, the explosion of the Yellowstone volcano will provoke the formation of an ozone hole, as a result of which the level of radiation will sharply increase.
The territory of North America and the southern part of Canada will turn into a scorched desert.
The explosion of Yellowstone will cause hundreds of other volcanoes across the earth to erupt. Within a few days, all living things will die from earthquakes, magma emissions and suffocation.
In a few weeks, huge masses of ash will cover the sun, and cosmic darkness will descend on the Earth.
Yellowstone Volcano 2020 - The first major release of magma, which occurred a few days ago, indicates that an eruption is beginning.The latest news for today and the opinions of NOD experts eloquently indicate that over 70% of cities on the US map may be destroyed.

Yellowstone National Park. Beautiful canyons, waterfalls, geysers. A virgin but sometimes dead forest.
When you walk along the scaffolding to the water-filled caldera, from time to time the ground makes a rumble and tremors occur. The wooden flooring cracks and a shiver runs through your body.
Like a giant rectum affected by polyps, a volcanic nozzle filled with green water goes deep. From time to time, smoky hydrogen sulfide bubbles burst out of the water with an eerie sob.
There, at the bottom of the caldera, under a thin partition of rocks - DEATH. And few people imagine HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS? for the whole Earth.
The scale of the disaster
The eruption power of the Yellowstone volcano is about 1,375,000 megatons of TNT, or about 23 thousand copies of the famous nuclear “Tsar Bomba”.
The amount of ash that will rise into the air will be about 300 billion cubic meters. The area of dispersion of large fragments will be about 3000 kilometers. Scientists predict a shift of the lithospheric plate 12 kilometers to the west, total flooding due to short heating of the ocean and melting glaciers.
Light fractions will settle in the air, which will lead to a volcanic winter for 10-12 years.
The temperature on Earth will increase by 10-15 degrees in the first days, and then drop by 20-30 degrees. The North Pacific Ocean will be covered in ice for the first three years. The Bering Strait will freeze completely.
As a result of the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, 200 million people will die immediately, another 4 billion (!) will die within 5 years as a result of floods, famine and food wars.
10-12 years after the Yellowstone eruption, the Earth's population will return to the level of the 18th century, most countries will disappear from the map of the earth. Mexico, USA and Canada will become completely dead regions. America may go under water for 1-2 years.
Latest news 2019-2020
March-April 2020. Geological Research-Solid Earth experts published measurements according to which the volcano rose to a record height in a year. The ground rose due to the penetration of magma under the Chuck Norris geyser, indicating the imminent start of a tectonic western.
January-February 2020. Psychic Vera Lyon may have predicted the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. And she has never made a mistake yet. She affectionately calls the volcano “Yelik”. The Statue of Liberty's head will be torn off.
November 26. One November night, a huge reproductive organ made of lava emerged from the caldera.. The appearance was accompanied by a rumble, an earthquake and lightning. Representatives of the local Indian diaspora brought gifts to the stone priapus, but they were dispersed by the American police, who have been oppressing local peoples with violent capitalism since the 15th century. 28 of October. Scientists have recorded another rise in magma. The time period for getting rid of suspended ash in the atmosphere was also calculated - according to experts, it will take about two years. 
September 19. Rothschilds and Rottweilers will escape from the Yellowstone volcano in Liberia. There they build an underground bunker and hire local African Americans as servants.
August 1. A group of American LGBT activists who were leading a 24-hour homo dance around the Steamboat Geyser were injured due to a sudden eruption. The release of hot water forced the protest participants to urgently leave the event; two were hospitalized with thermal burns.
June 10th. More tremors detected near Yellowstone. Portland University professor Scott Burns noted that this means "the magma has begun to move."
1st of May. Paths in Yellowstone Park reached record temperatures. A group of tourists from Taiwan's flip-flops melted
20 April. A new thermal zone has been discovered near Lake West Tern. It is formed due to the approach of the magmatic layer to the surface of the earth. The forest near the thermal zone began to die.
March 16. American Mormons fleeing the Yellowstone volcano were detained in Kuban. They will be deported back.
28th of February. Experts from the US Geological Survey USGS noted high volcanic activity in neighboring California. According to them, the probability of an eruption of the Long Valley supervolcano, Shasta and Lassen volcanoes is 16%. In turn, the activity could trigger an eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, which is located in the zone of influence of the North American lithospheric plate.
February, 15. Carcasses of muskrats have begun to be found in the Yellowstone River. Biologists believe that this is a consequence of an increase in the sulfur content of the water and its temperature due to volcanic activity.
February 4. Scientists have recorded a partial release of magma from the bottom of the volcano. The rising soil and increasing temperature of the magma chamber are also worrying experts.
Jan. 7. INNASA admitted its powerlessness in preventing the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. The project to drill wells to inject water and redirect magma has been deemed futile. Scientists are frantically looking for new solutions.
December 24. Yellowstone Steamboat Geyser breaks 1964 record. The recently dormant geyser became active in 2018 and erupted several times more than 54 years ago. This is the most powerful geyser in the park, it shoots boiling water to a height of more than 120 meters.
Chronicle of events and signs of an eruption
A number of signs indicate that the Yellowstone volcano is beginning to erupt, its activity is increasing, so a global catastrophe is just around the corner. 2020 may be the last year of prosperous existence for humanity.
Chronicle of Yellowstone Caldera activity:
Events |
|
Fragments of magma from the Sheridan fumarole were found in the Wapiti River. Death of small animals. The Pentagon is purchasing gas masks. A new thermal zone has been found on West Turn Lake. |
|
An increase in geyser activity, Steamboat breaks the record set in 1964. The concentration of sulfur in the atmosphere exceeded the norm for the first time. For the first time, a powerful earthquake with a magnitude exceeding calculations was recorded - 7.8 points, stronger than in 1959. |
|
New cracks were found in dead trees near thermal springs as a result of increased temperatures. The area of endangered forest has increased by 34 hectares. In March, the Grand Geyser “Old Faithful” threw out a sheaf of sparks with pieces of magma instead of boiling water. |
|
Landslides on Signal and Gorbataya mountains, the death of two men in a tent. Increase in hydrogen sulfide concentration close to normal. The intensity of soil uplift reached 10 cm per year. |
|
Mass migration of small animals from the vicinity of the volcano. American lake rats, muskrats and muskrats began to leave places inhabited for centuries. In January, a strong gas release was recorded on the northern shore of the lake. |
|
Soil growth of 5-6 cm per year has been observed. Massive death of bison from gas release. Complete extinction of the lynx, reduction in the number of foxes and coyotes. The Steamboat geyser woke up, and almost 200 new thermal springs were discovered in a year. The beginning of growing panic about the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. |
|
The increase in seismic activity forced the authorities to build a volcanic observatory. NASA has been tasked with creating a project to neutralize the volcano. |
|
The beginning of a decline in animal numbers. The US authorities have begun measures to artificially maintain the fauna in the national. Yellowstone Park was home to wolves, grizzly bears and other species. |
|
A catastrophic fire due to a sudden release of magma from the mountain sphincter. Kennedy. Almost 4,000 km2 of forest burned, and the city of Dildostown was destroyed. |
|
More than 3000 earthquakes per year. Lowering of the caldera has been recorded, which may indicate a reduction in the thickness of the protective layer of hard rock between the magma and the atmosphere. |
|
The volcano began to wake up. Earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4, the destruction of the dam on Lake Hebgen. Faults and cracks formed in the ground, killing 30 people. A new lake has appeared - Quake. |
The greatest concern is precisely the increase in the dynamics of seismic activity, the increase in gas emissions and the emergence of new geysers. Such signs always precede erupting volcanoes.
For the USA and Canada, the eruption threatens complete extinction.
When will the eruption begin (forecasts and predictions)
Predictions about the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano were made not only by famous astrologers and prophets; physicists like Newton and Jose Ramon Espinoza laid out the prerequisites for this in their calculations.
Nostradamus prophesied about signs of the end of the world in the form of earthquakes, floods and great famine, which fully fits into the concept of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Vanga talked a lot about how “America will freeze” and will be “shackled by a cloud” for many years.
From the point of view of probability theory, it was calculated that the Yellowstone disaster could be 0.00014% per year. The last eruption was 640 thousand years ago.
That is, today in 2020 the probability is... 89,6% !
The exact date of the eruption is probably already known to NASA specialists, who have covered the National Park in Wyoming with sensors since the early 2000s and are monitoring the situation around the clock. However, they are naturally silent about this, since the resulting panic could cause much greater damage to humanity, provoke wars and a migration collapse on the eve of the eruption. More detailed scientific justification.
The world government will suffer and the world will plunge into complete chaos and anarchy. Post-apocalysis scenarios realized in films will become a reality. It is important to preserve at least the basic laws formed in the UN, international conventions and so on.
In the next two years, humanity simply must find a way out of the situation, otherwise it faces extinction.
What will the collapse of the USA and Canada from the volcano mean for Russia?
Russia will not be directly affected by the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. Cold weather and floods will not bypass it, there will be a severe food crisis, but V.V. Putin and D.A. Medvedev overcame more difficult times, and now Russia has almost no public debt, has rich gold and foreign exchange reserves and a strong ruble. There will be enough oil and electricity to run autonomous greenhouses for growing food. The strategic food reserves of the Ministry of Defense will be enough for the first two years, then through surplus appropriation and austerity policies, food will be fairly distributed through a special commission from the United Russia party.
The biggest problem is the flow of refugees from Canada, the USA and Mexico. Given the freezing of the Pacific Ocean, they will flee en masse across the ice to Russia. And no machine guns can stop them; all hope is in the Iskanders, which will make giant holes in the ice.
Americans who defect will bring a lot of trouble to Russia. They will drag their national debt, juvenile justice and gay rights. In overcrowded Khrushchev buildings, scandals will begin over tolerance. But in the end, Putin will give them the right to reside in exchange for recognition of Crimea.
The Internet will die out due to the death of Microsoft, Intel, Android and the largest American servers. People will exchange information in lines for palm oil and feed grain, which will be issued to them using ration cards.
Of course, in view of the acute crisis, the retirement age and gasoline prices will have to be raised somewhat more, but Russia will lose its major enemy - America, which was still threatened with slow extinction due to obesity and the collapse of the dollar.
The Yellowstone volcano in 2020 should serve as a motivator to stock up on food, build shelters, buy watercraft, warm clothing and respirators; a smart person can save his family if he starts preparing for an eruption right now.
Last year is already behind us, but researchers from various fields are still summing up the results of the past months. For example, 2017 may not have been the most active year in the history of volcano observations, but it was certainly quite spectacular.
Of the world's roughly 1,500 active volcanoes, nearly 50 erupt each year, emitting clouds of smoke, ash, toxic fumes and fiery lava. In 2017, their list included Shiveluch from Russia, Villarrica from Chile, Mount Sinabun and Agung from Indonesia, Turrialba from Costa Rica, Piton de la Fournaise from Reunion Island, Kilauea from Hawaii, Mexican volcanoes Colima and Popocatepetl, Bogoslof from Alaska, Sicilian Mount Etna, Manaro Vui from Vanuatu and many others. In this collection you will find 40 unique photographs taken right during the eruption of these angry peaks!
1. In front of you are clouds of ash erupting from the Russian Shiveluch volcano from the Kamchatka Peninsula. The photo was taken at dawn on December 5, 2017.

9. Bogoslof is an underwater stratovolcano in the Aleutian Islands, barely rising above the water. On May 28, 2017, a satellite flew over Alaska and captured what the Bogoslof eruption looks like from space. The eruption began about 18 minutes before this photo was taken, and by the time the satellite appeared directly above the volcano, the cloud had already reached an altitude of 12 kilometers above sea level. The cloud turned white (instead of the usual ashen color) due to the large amount of water that fell into the low crater of the volcano and actively evaporated due to high temperatures. Bogoslof erupted several times during the first months of 2017.
10. More detailed image of the Bogoslof eruption. Note the areas at the base of the volcano where tephra plumes, consisting of airborne volcanic material, are particularly noticeable.

12. In front of you is the same Bogoslof volcano, but on June 23, 2017. This is what the eruption looked like from a distance of 67 kilometers - on the island, Mutton Cove Bay (Unalaska, Mutton Cove). A local research observatory estimated the height of the volcanic cloud to be as much as 11 kilometers.

17. A stream of lava falls from a cliff into the sea from a height of 21 meters, January 28, 2017. The Kilauea volcano began spewing molten rock at the beginning of the year, and the spectacle resembles a giant fire hose pouring into Hawaiian waters. On February 2, the stream bed collapsed and the lava changed its route.
18. The Hawaiian coast of Kona Kohala suffered a lot from the Kilauea eruption. On December 16, 2017, lava flows even reached the ocean itself, consuming a large part of the forest along the way.

19. On December 6, 2017, geologists from the Hawaiian Observatory noticed an outburst of fresh lava on the frozen slopes of Kilauea. The basaltic lava flowing down the slopes of the mound quickly cools and becomes covered with a rough, dense, dark-colored crust, but in the end it is still unable to contain new flows of hot rock, which is what you see in this photo.

20. Volcanoes play an important role in the formation of relief around the world. Thus, on the Hawaiian island of Kamokuna, the eruption of Kilauea led to a series of coastal collapses. The photo was taken on October 4, 2017, but before that day, the island split into pieces at least 3 more times in previous months. The island itself was formed precisely due to the activity of the volcano, and new lava flows are constantly transforming the shape of this young and fragile land. The photo was taken on October 4 using long exposure mode in moonlight.

21. Sometimes fumaroles appear in the crater area - cracks or holes on the slopes of volcanoes that emit hot gases. In some of these fumaroles, scientists often observe bright yellow sulfur deposits. In the picture you can see the surroundings of the Kilauea crater, where fumaroles increasingly began to be covered with a dense carpet of “Pele's hair” (threads of volcanic glass from solidified lava). The moisture released by fumaroles accumulates on these same filaments, like dew or frost on grass. The photo was taken on May 28, 2017.

This is what the clouds of ash and smoke erupting from the Popocatepetl volcano looked like on November 10, 2017 for observers from the commune of Tepehitec, Mexican state of Tlaxcala (Tepehitec, Tlaxcala). Popocatepetl, located 55 kilometers from Mexico City, has been agitated more than once since the end of last September, but no significant eruptions have occurred here yet.

24. Before you are steam and ash emanating from the mouth of Manaro-Vui. The volcano is located on the island of Ambae in the Republic of Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean. The sudden awakening of Manaro Vui in September 2017 worried local authorities and residents throughout the area, causing almost all of the islanders to be evacuated for safety by mid-October. According to local media reports, Vanuatu leaders marched to the shores of the Voui crater to perform a religious ritual and offer a highly prized animal (a pig) to the guardian of the lake as a ceremonial sacrifice. On the banks of the Wuya, the leader Tari One said special words, and only after that a pork dish and other gifts were thrown into the water to appease the elements.

Recently, the number of earthquakes in Yellowstone National Park has increased.
The Yellowstone volcano has been causing active controversy among scientists and fear in the eyes of ordinary residents of the Earth for several years now. This caldera is located in the United States, and it does not matter in which state, because it is capable of destroying an entire nation in a matter of days. Predictions regarding the proposed explosion change over and over again with the arrival of new data about the behavior of natural phenomena in the Yellowstone Park area, but the latest news makes us think about the future of every person on the planet.
102 earthquakes hit Yellowstone National Park in three days
In connection with this, the leadership of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) urgently took off an aircraft equipped with special equipment for infrared photography.
Seismologists warn that the apocalypse is only days away. The supervolcano, located in Yellowstone National Park, is considered the largest and most dangerous on the planet. If he wakes up, the Earth will be threatened by a real apocalypse. The thing is that supervolcanoes, in addition to magma and gases, emit colossal amounts of ash into the atmosphere, which can lead to the development of events according to the “nuclear winter” scenario. The planet is threatened by sudden climate change, which will lead to the death of plants and animals. Moreover, the air can become so polluted that it becomes unbreathable. WITH
On June 12, as many as 102 earthquakes with a magnitude of two points or higher occurred in the Yellowstone caldera, 44 of which occurred directly in the national park. In addition, the temperature of the water in the thermal springs has risen, and in general the water level has risen, which indicates an increase in the temperature of the soil in the caldera, which means that the magma is rising closer to the surface and can break out at any moment. The number of earthquakes has increased sharply over the past few days. So, since June 14, there were 17 of them in the caldera, which exceeded the average monthly norm. Seismologists are seriously alarmed. In their opinion, the supervolcano may erupt in the coming days.
Since Monday June 12, 2017, more than 30 earthquakes of magnitude 2 or greater have occurred in Yellowstone National Park in the United States. A 4.4 tremor was recorded on Thursday. This sequence is alarming because the park is home to a supervolcano.
The supervolcano has not erupted for the last 640 thousand years. But if it wakes up, its emissions can affect climate change on the planet. Two million years ago, the supervolcano ejected 2.5 thousand cubic kilometers of rock and ash into the atmosphere, the last time - half as much. For comparison, the Indonesian volcano Tambora ejected 160 cubic kilometers of material in 1815, which led to the largest geological disaster of modern times and the “year without a summer.” However, scientists say that earthquakes occur quite frequently in Yellowstone. The most powerful was in 2014 - then the magnitude of the earth tremors reached 4.8 points.
Seismologists are concerned about the situation that is developing around the Yellowstone supervolcano, located in the very center of the United States. If it erupts, North America will actually cease to exist, turning into a lifeless desert reminiscent of the surface of Mars. And the worst thing is that this misfortune can happen at any moment.
No one knows when a supervolcano will explode, since no source has a reliable description of the behavior of such a giant. According to geological data, it is known that there have been three eruptions throughout history: 2.1 million years ago, 1.27 million years ago and 640 thousand years ago. According to calculations, the next explosion may fall on contemporaries, but no one knows the exact date.
During the monitoring, an increase in the activity of geysers was revealed, as well as an increase in the amplitude of earthquakes. In September 2016, a video appeared on YouTube that the caldera had begun its eruption, but the condition of the Yellowstone volcano has not yet changed significantly. True, tremors are gaining strength, so the risk is becoming higher.
How long do we have left?
