Yellowstone
caldera is a volcanic caldera in Yellowstone National Park, USA
Serikat.Kaldera is located in western Wyoming laut.Kaldera known as the
Yellowstone supervolcano is a volcano Yellowstone.Yellowstone and not
just volcanoes national biasa.Taman oldest and most well-known in the
state of Wyoming , Montana, and Idaho, United States sits squarely atop one of the largest volcano on Earth is a supervulkano or a super volcano.
The regional "hot spots" that form the Yellowstone caldera has erupted dozens of times in the past and has been going on for approximately 18 million years. Because the hot spot is rooted deep in the Earth's tectonic plates on it and moving toward the southwest, caldera-caldera that haunts and come from more ancient eruptions alternately like a series of giant beads in southern Idaho to enter the territory of Oregon and Nevada. The subsequent lava flows forming the landscape like on the moon, the Snake River Plain that looks horrible.
Three super last eruption occurred in Yellowstone region itself. Latest eruption occurred 640,000 years ago, thousands of times more powerful than the eruption of Mt. Helena in 1980. Scientists calculate that the ash from the Yellowstone explosion rose to as high as approximately 30,000 meters, leaving a layer of debris across the West to the Gulf of Mexico. Pyroclastic flow-fog of dust, rocks and thick nan deadly gas that heats up to 800 degrees Celsius-rolling across the landscape in the form of gray clouds looming. The clouds that covered the whole valley with hundreds of meters thick material that is so hot and heavy that imprinted like asphalt covering landscape once verdant. In fact, this is not the most vicious Yellowstone eruption. An eruption 2.1 million years ago was more than doubled, forming a hole in the ground, roughly three times the size of Lake Toba. In between the great eruption 1.3 million years ago, the eruption of the smaller, but still only devastated the region.
Yellowstone volcano is still there. To a certain extent that is uncertain, the volcano is still very active. Experts are concerned, active volcano is going to erupt. Moreover, Yellowstone Caldera is showing signs of increased activity since 2004.
What happens if the Yellowstone erupts .. ??
The answer is, tragedy. The strength of the eruption is estimated thousands of times more powerful than the eruption of Mount St. Helena in 1980. Yellowstone will spew lava into the sky, while the hot ashes will kill crops and bury the surrounding area to a radius of 1,000 miles or more than 1,600 kilometers.
Not only that, two-thirds of the United States could become uninhabitable as toxic air that blows out of the caldera. Thousands of flights were canceled, millions of people became refugees. It was a nightmare that predicted by scientists, if Yellowstone erupted for the first time in 600,000 years. The bad news, this may happen in the future.
Research shows, Yellowstone caldera has erupted three times in the period of 2.1 million years. Worries experts is not without basis. The increase recorded since seven years ago. Also, in the last three years, floors climbed the mountain three inches per year. This is the fastest rate of increase since records began in 1923. However, the lack of data does not allow scientists to predict when it will erupt super mountain. Volcanologists from the University of Utah, Bob Smith said the appointment was remarkable because it covers an area large enough.
Initially, scientists fear it could lead to an increase in eruption. Fortunately, "we saw the magma was at a depth of ten kilometers, we were not so worried," he said, as published by the Daily Mail, Tuesday, January 25, 2011.
Another case when magma at a depth of two or three kilometers, the experts will panic. While, Robert B. Smith, professor of geophysics at the University of Utah, said the magma chamber was filled with super mountain melt rock. "But we do not know how long this process takes place before the eruption, or the reverse flow of molten rock stops and the caldera back flat."
Scientists believe that monitor Yellowstone, magma storage space or swollen reservoir at a depth of six miles underground may cause the appointment. The scientists also observed clumps like pancake formed from molten rock about the size of the city of Los Angeles at that location. Because the condition is eksImage tram, it is difficult for scientists to determine what exactly is happening under the Yellowstone.
