Quote HistoryQuoted:
The image of the ash fall from St. Helens reaching across Idaho and into Montana is a bit misleading. That may represent "primary" ash fall, but I personally experienced overcast skies in Missouri for about a week, once it got here. And the family took a road trip along the Oregon Trail to Ft. Lewis and Tacoma in late Spring that year. My dad gathered samples of ash deposited along the highway from western Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. The particle size and color of ash was smaller and lighter the further away from the volcano, but it definitely reached beyond the outlines shown on that map. yup, I live north of St Helens and we didn't get any ash here the day of the eruption but about a week later we got a real fine dusting after it gone around around the world. I'm not sure what standard they used on that map but it must have been some "measurable amount" Every year around here when the anniversary happens you get people going on and on about how much ash we got and how loud it was  . LOL. People's imaginations are pretty comical. Eastern WA got hammered by the ash but people make it sound like we did here as well.

I saw the melted road...Has that happened before? How common are its catastrophic eruptions? the asphalt melts every summer around here, heaves up, or collapses depending on the kind of traffic. I'm not impressed with the asphalt pic in itself , but if you look around the background there is no critters. |

Yellowstone wouldn't be the end of the human race, but it would certainly be the end of the world as we know it. I'm thinking that worldwide at least 5-6 billion would die from starvation or the ensuing anarchy/chaos. Poorer Countries that already don't have many resources might see >90% of their population die off. The USA would basically be completely screwed. After 2-4 years the ash would settle from the atmosphere and as the climate returns to normal it would be up to the scattered survivors to rebuild the world. Yellowstone is actually pretty comparable to a nuclear holocaust in a sense. The eruption would kill a lot of people right away, but the real danger is from climate disruption.

Interesting thought, but I always thought that there would be much more of a die off in countries where most of the population is counting on high tech, large scale agriculture, and food subsequently distributed to grocery store shelves in a continuous conveyor belt, like the US. In poor countries where people are already much more familiar with how to grow a lot of what they need in their backyard and scrape by with more meager resources, they stand more chance of being able to weather infrastructure breakdown as they're not counting on it as much. Millionaires in the US would starve in their mansions while someone in an Adobe hole might be able to recover their gardens and grow enough to make it through. |

From what I've read about the formation of the magma pocket underneath Yellowstone, scientists believe that it is formed due to the tectonic plates that form the San Andreas fault, forcing the magma upwards underneath the earths crust. I would assume that some very major earthquakes would have to take place, before it would start drastically increasing in pressure.

As for the rest of the world, it would face a few years of mild climate change caused by the supereruption's ash cloud, which would wrap around the globe, casting Earth in shadow for several days and altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere for a decade or so. However, recent research shows the global impacts of supervolcanoes are less severe than scientists once thought, and a Yellowstone supereruption might be especially unimposing because its magma contains minimal sulfur. Sulfur gas produces particles called aerosols, which can cool the climate by blocking sunlight.
"The huge volume of magma means there would still be some sulfur injected into the atmosphere, but work has shown that you reach a sort of limit in the amount of aerosols you can produce with sulfur gas. It means that our earlier suggestions that there would be a severe temperature change is not right," Self said. [What If Earth's Magnetic Poles Flip?] Based on the new models, the scientists now think the vast majority of Earth's species would weather a Yellowstone supereruption just fine (except, of course, for those knocked out due to proximity of the initial blast). They don't see any evidence in the geologic record of mass extinctions coinciding with supereruptions, and they don't predict extinctions to result from such geologic events in the future. "The last time Yellowstone erupted, no extinctions took place," said Michael Rampino, a biologist and geologist at New York University. "Supereruptions are not extinction-level events," he said, but added that they can obviously cause problems for civilization. Article |
