Brigham Young University researchers said the ancient volcanoes were no longer active, but 30 million years ago they sprayed about 56,000m ³ within a week near the place called Wah Wah Springs in Midwestern Utah.

For ease of comparison, the operation at that time was 5,000 times larger than the St. Volcanic service. Helens stirred in 1980.

'In southern Utah, sediments released from the eruption event are nearly 4,000 meters thick , ' said team leader Eric Christiansen.

It can be seen that just a super volcano's anger can destroy any life within a few hundred kilometers radius.

In particular, the eruption 30 million years ago, emanating from 20 large craters, buried a large area stretching from central Utah to central Nevada, and traces of ashes discovered to Nebraska. , according to a report on san Geosphere.
