“The erupted materials would cover everything within a 500 km radius with a meter-thick layer. “I predict an eruption similar to the one from 640,000 years ago would destroy most of the United States’ territories,” Zaba said. He said the eruption will be completely devastating for the world and completely unavoidable. Jerzy Zaba, a geologist at the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, confirmed previous predictions about the world-ending destruction to be wrought by the Yellowstone supervolcano’s eruption. A massive quake here might prematurely trigger an eruption of Yellowstone. Ominously, the dangerous San Andreas Fault in California is only a few hundred kilometers away. This USGS prediction, however, might change if there's a major earthquake that shifts geological plates close to Yellowstone. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the chance of Yellowstone exploding in the coming centuries is very low. Geologists estimate each of these stupendous explosions devastated large parts of the Earth as far away as Asia. Yellowstone's three previous monstrous eruptions occurred two million, 1.3 million and 640,000 years ago. The caldera is a massive 25 miles x 37 miles (40 km x 60 km) in diameter and was formed after the last Yellowstone eruption about 640,000 years ago. It’s not well-known that the seemingly placid Yellowstone supervolcano is the world's largest volcano and is considered by some studies as the most dangerous volcano in the world. This eruption is predicted to render two-thirds of the United States uninhabitable and wipe out most of the world’s population. The Yellowstone supervolcano at the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is mathematically overdue for another devastating eruption. And this might annihilate more than five billion people in the course of the most massive eruption in history. ![]() ![]() Coming back to haunt us is the inevitable eruption of the seething Yellowstone supervolcano, the largest and most dangerous in the world.
