YELLOWSTONE SUPERVOLCANO - RUMOURS THAT THE UNITED STATES IS PREPARING FOR MASSIVE ERUPTION and maybe looking for countries that could host millions of American refugees

May 2014 – WYOMING - If the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts then millions of U.S. citizens could end up in Brazil, Australia, or Argentina. That’s according to the South African news website Praag, which said that the African National Congress was offered $10 billion a year for 10 years if it would build temporary housing for Americans in case of an eruption.

 

The potential eruption of the supervolcano, one of the biggest in the world, has been a hot topic ever since videos of animals allegedly fleeing the area before an earthquake were posted online. Although the veracity of the claims haven’t been backed up, dozens of bloggers and others have been trying to figure out what, if anything, is going on.

 

One of the latest theories is that the U.S. Geological Service and its partners, which keep an eye on the caldera, are hiding data from the public. The Praag article says that the South African government fears that placing so many Americans in South Africa could dramatically change the country.

“South Africa will not be part of the plan, because there is a risk that millions of white Americans could be sent to South Africa in an emergency situation and that this would pose a risk to black national culture identity,” Dr. Siph Matwetwe, spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs, is quoted as saying. “We have our own challenges, even if there is enough housing and infrastructure available, it will destabilize the country and may even bring back apartheid.”

The gigantic volcano in Yellowstone has erupted three times over the last two million years, covering a huge area of surrounding land. Maps from educational institutions and government officials project that up to 17 states could be fully or partially impacted if the volcano erupted again. The far south of Canada could also get hit, as well as the far north of Mexico.

Scientists aren’t sure when it will erupt next, although many have sought to assure the public that it probably won’t for a while. In reality, the volcano could erupt at any time, though officials would in theory be able to detect an impending eruption and alert Americans to the threat. –

WHAT IS NEVER MENTIONED: 

What about nuclear power plants that would be affected in case of an eruption or another major disaster, spewing deadly radioactivity on top of the ash?

Documentary Supervolcano - Yellowstone Fury

Supervolcano: Yellowstone's Fury examines the effect a cataclysmic eruption would have on the world and what could possibly be done to prepare for such a disaster.  An eruption on this scale would be the largest natural disaster in recorded history.  It could trigger a volcanic winter, kill millions of people and make most of North America uninhabitable.  New York University Earth Scientist Michael Rampino warns that, "An eruption like Yellowstone could trigger the end of civilization as we know it."

 YELLOWSTONE IN THE NEWS

Study: Yellowstone magma much bigger than thought (Update)

Dec 16, 2013 by Matt Volz for PhysOrg

The hot molten rock beneath Yellowstone National Park is 2 ½ times larger than previously estimated, meaning the park's supervolcano has the potential to erupt with a force about 2,000 times the size of Mount St. Helens, according to a new study. 

 

By measuring seismic waves from earthquakes, scientists were able to map the magma chamber underneath the Yellowstone caldera as 55 miles (88.5 kilometers) long, lead author Jamie Farrell of the University of Utah said Monday.  The chamber is 18 miles (29 kilometers) wide and runs at depths from 3 to 9 miles (5 to 14 1/2 kilometers) below the earth, he added.

That means there is enough volcanic material below the surface to match the largest of the supervolcano's three eruptions over the last 2.1 million years, Farrell said.

 

The largest blast—the volcano's first—was 2,000 times the size of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington state. A similar one would spew large amounts of volcanic material in the atmosphere, where it would circle the earth, he said.  "It would be a global event," Farrell said. "There would be a lot of destruction and a lot of impacts around the globe."

 

The last Yellowstone eruption happened 640,000 years ago, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. For years, observers tracking earthquake swarms under Yellowstone have warned the caldera is overdue to erupt.  Farrell dismissed that notion, saying there isn't enough data to estimate the timing of the next eruption.  "We do believe there will be another eruption, we just don't know when," he said.

 

There are enough instruments monitoring the seismic activity of Yellowstone that scientists would likely know well ahead of time if there was unusual activity happening and magma was moving to the surface, Farrell said.

 

The USGS' Yellowstone Volcano Observatory listed the park's volcano alert level as "normal" for December. 

 

Yellowstone attracts millions of visitors with its geothermal features of geysers, hot springs and bubbling mud pots. The park just opened its gates on Sunday for its winter season.

 

Park officials did not immediately return a call for comment.

 

A large earthquake at Yellowstone is much more likely than a volcano eruption, Farrell said.  The 7.5-magnitude Hebgen Lake earthquake killed 28 people there in 1959.  Farrell presented his findings last week to the American Geophysical Union. He said he is submitting it to a scholarly journal for peer review and publication.

 

Brigham Young University geology professor Eric Christiansen said the study by Farrell and University of Utah Professor Bob Smith is very important to understanding the evolution of large volcanos such as Yellowstone's.

 

"It helps us understand the active system," Christiansen said. "It's not at the point where we need to worry about an imminent eruption, but every piece of information we have will prepare us for that eventuality."
