Is it possible that Yellowstone will one day erupt?
he European Space Agency (ESA) notes that Yellowstone is one of the largest existing terrestrial vents and is active. The reason Yellowstone is considered a volcano that poses a risk is because its eruption could "plunge the planet into calamity and bring humanity to the brink of extinction," the magazine states. The shallow magma reservoir in the Yellowstone supervolcano contains about 15,000 cubic kilometers and is located between 5 and 16 kilometers deep. And NASA has warned that its eruption could lead to the end of humanity.” Aside from this alarming forecast, it is true that NASA is developing a plan to cool the “supervolcano” from the top down. The supervolcano produces an enormous amount of heat, equivalent to the energy generated by six power plants. Much of this heat is released into the atmosphere through water seeping through the cracks in the magma chamber. An eruption becomes inevitable. However, if more heat could be extracted, the supervolcano would never erupt.” So, NASA estimates that if the heat generated in the magma chamber can be reduced by 35%, Yellowstone would no longer be a threat.
