The Volcano Under Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is one of the largest and oldest national parks in American history. Yellowstone was the first park to be protected by private investment on March 1, 1872, and the first to be put under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service in 1918, no doubt due to its unique and inspiring landscape and geothermal features. In fact, Yellowstone National Park is home to half of the world’s total hydrothermal features. These awesome attractions draw an incredible amount of visitors, an average of two to three million each year, to Yellowstone’s immense landscape. The park has a total size of 28,125 square miles, is found in three distinct states, and is considered to be one of the largest

The Yellowstone volcano has the potential to destroy all life on Earth. I believe that the volcano will erupt because the Yellowstone volcano is still active. The volcano has not erupted any time recently, and could make it even more dangerous the longer it stays dormant. If it does erupt, how would it wipe out the population on Earth? Will this event be significant to our generation? What are some of the statistics on the Yellowstone volcano? Is there a way to prevent the eruption? If we can’t stop it where would it be safe during the eruption? How will this huge eruption effect plantlife? What would happen after the eruption?

The Yellowstone fires of 1988 struck my interest in the first two weeks of readings. Being honest, I’ve never read much about the fires until now. These fires were started by a lighting storm. According to most records small fires were reported in June and everything seemed okay for the beginning of the summer. Then July came around and the whole summer was just about the fires. ("The Yellowstone Fires Of 1988")

First, the passage claims that Yellowstone fires cause tremendous damage to the park`s trees and other vegetation. However, the professor refuses this and says after the fire of 1988 the firs advantage was the proliferation of the vegetation. In the time of the fires the park was colonized with only a few kinds of plants, after 1988 fires the plants became diverse. For example, the trees that have been destroyed got replaced with another smaller plants that required open and unshaded area. She further explains, that some seeds required very high temperature in order to germinate.

Crater Lake is famed for its volcanic beginning its high lava walls and its blue waters.

The third eruption happened about 640,000 years ago, and spewed 240 cubic miles of material. This third eruption created the third and largest of Yellowstone’s calderas, Yellowstone Caldera, which is 30 by 45 miles in size. The pyroclastic lava flows from this eruption formed the north wall of the caldera and are visible from the south-facing cliffs east of Madison. (Solcomhouse) This third eruption is said to have vaporized an entire mountain range. Smaller eruptions have also helped to shape Today’s Yellowstone, such as one that occurred 174,000 years ago and created what is now the “West Thumb” of Yellowstone Lake. (National Park Service) Many sources say that a catastrophic eruption, such as those that have formed the three calderas at Yellowstone, is unlikely during the next several hundred years, but if one such eruption did occur it would devastate much of the United States and would have the potential to alter the global climate.

This version of the inauguration process of Yellowstone National Park outlines the impact the installment of Yellowstone had on the lives and lifestyle of its inhabiting and neighboring Native American tribes. John Colter, the first non-Indian to explore Yellowstone, was guided by the Crow, whom he set up a trade alliance with, to observe the many wonders the land contained. On his return to the east, many thought his stories, of geysers shooting heated water hundreds of feet in the air, were only meager fables and entitled the area in the west he described as Colter’s Hell. It would be almost 60 years later, after Colter’s expedition, that another brave explorer would wander into the sacred grounds. In 1872, Congress established Yellowstone

The compass was used in Song Dynasty China by the military for navigational leading by 1040–1044, and was used for maritime navigation by 1111 to 1117; it was first invented since 206 BC.

Yellowstone National Park forms the core of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Sitting on 34,375 square miles, it is considered one of the largest nearly intact temperate-zone ecosystems on Earth (Schullery). Greater Yellowstone’s diversity and natural wealth includes the hydrothermal features, wildlife, vegetation, lakes, and geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River (Hydrothermal vents and how they work). Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 primarily to protect geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers (Hydrothermal vents and how they work). During that time, the parks natural state was largely taken for granted. As development throughout the West increased, the park’s over 2 million

In this paper i will be talking about some of the controversy swirling around about the Yellowstone Supervolcano. I will be talking about, the activity of the volcano and magma chamber, when it’s predicted to erupt next, the kill radius and ash cloud devastation, and if there is anything we can do to stop, or even mitigate the effects of a massive super eruption.

Yellowstone is a park in Wyoming it is a United States park that has been there for many years it is the oldest park in the country. It is nearly 3,500 square miles the park spreads into three different states Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. In YellowStone there are geysers and one of the most famous geysers is old faithful it is a hole in the ground that shoots water out of the hole like 100 to 300 feet in the air. It is home to almost a hundred species including Bears, Wolves, Bison, Elk, and Antelope. It is open 24 hours it was established March 1, 1872. It is one of the best places to see wildlife the park is full of camp grounds there is food at YellowStone like cafe’s and restaurants. YellowStone has 5 species of amphibians 150 species

Yellowstone is breathtaking. The main topics are history, plants and animals,natural features, visiting and attraction, climate. Why Yellowstone is interesting is it is a supervolcano in it. Why you may want to go , and fun facts.there is that it has lots of hiking trails. It has roads in Yellowstone. There is a lot of fun things to do in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and Idaho and Montana. Wyoming has 96% of all of Yellowstone in it but Montana and Idaho share it and 3% in Montana and 1% in Idaho. Also it is bigger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined. Also it is the first national park in the U.S.A. and also the world.

The rising threat of the supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park alarms geologists, who are concerned about the quick refresh of magma in a reservoir, that feeds into the volcano. A new study, which analyzed minerals and fossils left from the last major eruption, shows that another could happen in the near future, with very little warning. Additionally, researchers that study the Yellowstone volcano are unsure of how soon the next eruption will occur, and a prior team suggests more destructive and larger blasts may be more frequent. Scientists believe the volcano has only exploded twice in the past two million years, based on fossil deposits found near the site of Yellowstone.

Mt. Baker is located in the U.S., Washington, Whatcom County. These are the volcano’s coordinates : latitude: 48. 777 degrees N longitude:121.813 degrees West

People are afraid that this volcano will explode and are scared that something bad will happen. People are moving out of their house to a safe place to live and were forcedd to evacuate about 2,000 residents. Some people choose to move out to a safer place and away from the dangerous area. Residents are involved in this tragic event, stay in not an option for anyone dangerous gases are released and can kill anyone human inhale this dangerous gases. The event is about a volcano that is about to explode from so much pressure being built up. This event is happening in Hawaii were people want to move out. It's happening in May 4 at 11:40 a.m. The cause of this event is happening because pieces of rock are falling off to the volcano and that is making pressure built up and has to escape some we're including magma is falling below sea level. This is one of the most active volcano in the world. It will continue for 100 years no surprises this is happening because it has happened over millions of years.
