The world's most powerful volcano is about to cause an ice age?
The world's most dangerous volcano can awaken at any time, threatening life on Earth by thousands of cubic meters of molten lava, British experts say.
According to the Daily Star, the Yellowstone volcano in Wyoming state, the United States has fallen deep into sleep for the past 70,000 years. But the ability of the world's most dangerous volcano to wake up is clearer than ever.
Yellowstone volcano is rated as one of the four "most timeless" bombs on Earth.
11,000 cubic meters of lava lies underground and is ready to erupt to the ground at any time. This amount of lava creates huge columns of smoke, covering the sky and causing the Earth to fall to the ground.
A group of geologists recently discovered strong eruptions due to the amount of lava flowing from the deepest part of the Earth to holes near the surface.
By simulating this process, experts see large holes as the key to creating horrifying eruptions on Earth.
But according to experts from Cardiff University, these gaps take millions of years to form. That's why "super eruptions" rarely happen.
The worrying thing is that the Yellowstone volcano has twice caused super eruptions, respectively 1.2 million years ago and 640,000 years ago. Thus, this super volcano can absolutely threaten humanity at any time.
Yellowstone volcano can awaken at any time, threatening to cause minor death.
The Yellowstone volcano was once rated as one of the four most terrifying "time bombs" on Earth.
Research co-author Dr. Wim Degruyter from Cardiff University said: 'The amount of lava beneath the Yeallowstone super volcano can be erupted or cooled to the point of no longer threatening life on Earth. '.
'Our research has shown that the key to lava storage is because they can maintain temperature through holes located deep below the surface of the Earth. These holes increase the temperature of the shell to such an extent that large amounts of lava can be stored just below the surface , 'explains Dr Degruyter.
The amount of molten lava is said to be hidden deep below the Earth's surface about 45km and can cover the Grand Canyon gorge 11.2 times (equivalent to 11,000 cubic meters).
