The theme of the apocalypse remains relevant, and many pin their hopes on the American mega-volcano. Bloggers know about this and everyone is thinking what else to write about Yellowstone. As a result, under the guise of fresh news, unverified or long-outdated information is spreading across the Internet.

I, at least when I write about, check the information. Of course, I can make a mistake or fall for a high-quality fake. But obviously I will not place nonsense on my NeFacto. Well, on this page I will publish normal, real news and, if possible, debunk empty rumors.

Latest News - Yellowstone in 2019

January 2019

At the end of the month, the scientists were able to restart the Norris thermal sensor network. Now data on temperature changes in different parts of the caldera come from all stations, except for Steamboat, which was turned off due to a recorder failure.
The seismic activity of the volcano in January was weak, Yellowstone shook only 84 times. The largest event (3 points) occurred on the 23rd 5 miles south-southwest of West Thumb. On the 22nd-23rd, a small swarm of 12 localized tremors was recorded 8 miles north of West Yellowstone. But their magnitude did not exceed 1.3. Seismicity remains at the background level.
Ground subsidence of the caldera, which began in 2015, is still proceeding at a rate of several mm per month. But in the Norris Geyser Basin, the uplift has slowed down, GPS data show no vertical deformation.

Yellowstone - news 2018

December 2018

The US government has partially stopped funding scientific projects. However, the USGS (United States Geological Survey), NPS (National Park Service) and YVO (Yellowstone Volcanic Observatory) continue to maintain monitoring networks and observe the caldera.
December seismicity includes 121 events. The magnitude of the largest was 3.1. It happened on the 20th, 19 miles west-northwest of West Yellowstone. A swarm of 53 localized tremors was recorded on the 31st 5 miles from Lake. Seismic activity remains at background level.
Steamboat Geyser erupted three times in December. In general, in 2018 there were 32 eruptions, which exceeds the record of 1964.
The dynamics of surface deformations that began in 2015 has not changed.

November 2018

In early November, access to Yellowstone Park was temporarily suspended (seasonal closure not related to the volcano). The scientists did field work in the Upper Geyser Basin, where they rebuilt the seismic sensors. Research continues on hydrothermal activity, which is gradually increasing.
As well as seismicity, which has noticeably decreased in recent months. But in November, the region shook 126 times. The strongest event (magnitude 2.4) was on the 4th 15 miles north of West Yellowstone. It became part of a swarm that included 57 localized earthquakes and continued throughout the month. The second swarm occurred November 21-24 16 miles southwest of Mammoth, where 22 tremors were recorded. Seismic activity remains at background levels.
Surface deformations continue, but with less intensity. Scientists believe that the pause is seasonal.

October 2018

In October, seismicity remained weak - only 68 earthquakes. The largest of these (magnitude 2.7) occurred on the 21st, 14 miles from West Thumb. And again - not a single swarm. Supervolcano activity remains at background levels.
The deformation of the surface, which is recorded by GPS stations, also does not change. There is uplift near the Norris River basin and subsidence in other areas at a rate of several centimeters per year.
But hydrothermal activity continues to grow. The Steamboat Geyser alone now erupts every week.
Field work is now aimed at preparing monitoring systems for winter. For example, in early October, a semi-permanent network of 12 GPS stations was removed. But in May 2019 they will be installed again.

September 2018

September was marked by increased hydrothermal activity. Existing geysers (Steamboat, Ear Spring and others) erupted more often than usual. Plus, new thermal elements were opened. Because of the release of boiling water, access to the Geyser Hill area was even blocked. Scientists have installed temperature sensors and temporary cameras there to control these processes.
But the seismicity was rather weak - only 57 events. The largest (magnitude 2.9) occurred on September 11, 16 miles from Mammoth, WY. Swarm activity was not observed. Everything stays in the background.
Surface deformation showed little change. They consist in reducing the rate of ground movement. Let me remind you that since 2015, in some areas, the soil swells, in others it sags.

August 2018

In August, Yellowstone seismographs recorded only 102 events. The magnitude of the largest was 2.5. It happened on the 7th, 13 miles north-northwest of Pahaska Tepee.
But there were 3 small swarms: August 2-3, 8 miles north of West Yellowstone (the area shook 13 times), August 26, 4 miles north of West Thumb (14 times) and August 29-30, 14 miles south of southeast of Mammoth Hot Springs (12 times).
Yellowstone seismic activity remained at background levels.
Soil deformations (rise and subsidence of the caldera) also proceed without changes.
In August, scientists conducted a series of studies to understand the age and characteristics of numerous lava flows that have erupted since the last major explosion of the supervolcano. In addition, major National Science Foundation-funded work has been completed to study the Yellowstone Lake hydrothermal system.

July 2018

Seismicity in July was small. Scientists claim only 153 earthquakes, and even then they are weak. The largest of these, magnitude 2.5, occurred on the 4th, 8 miles from West Thumb.
It became part of a small swarm of 12 events that occurred on the 2-10th.
A larger swarm was observed between 16 and 27 July 14 miles south-southwest of Mammoth. Then the caldera shook 77 times, but the magnitude of the shocks did not exceed 2.3.
Terrain activity remains at background levels.
According to the data of all GPS stations without exception, the soil movement was uniform. Caldera subsidence and Norris uplift rates remain the same.
In July, a new gas sensor system was installed at Bison Flat and Norris Geyser Basin. A control array of this magnitude was the first of its kind. Previously, emissions monitoring consisted only of spot checks or temporary deployments of small systems, which of course did not provide a complete picture. Meanwhile, there is a problem. I have a note about , the concentration of some of them in the caldera is off scale. Scientists hope that the flow of data from new sensors will finally provide an understanding of how the concentration of volcanic gases changes depending on the season and other conditions (wind, rain, temperature, humidity).

June 2018

In June, the seismicity of the caldera was weak. Scientists recorded a total of 76 events. The magnitude of the strongest was 2.3. It happened on the 30th 9 miles northeast of Old Faithful.
From June 9 to 13, there was a small swarm of 17 earthquakes of magnitude up to 2.1 13 miles south-southeast of Mammoth.
Another swarm began on the 11th and continued for a month.
Volcanic activity remains at background levels.
Soil subsidence in June continued at the same rate. Some GPS stations near Yellowstone Like showed seasonal signals showing increased subsidence. But such a picture is associated with a change in the level of the lake. This is repeated every year when the water level and, accordingly, its pressure on the earth's surface reach their maximum values. Uplift in the Norris Basin region has been negligible over the past month.
In June, scientists installed temporary seismometers around Yellowstone Like. This will allow them to better understand the processes taking place there.

May 2018

In May, seismographs detected 123 events. But the magnitude of the strongest did not exceed 3.1. It was recorded on the 6th, 9 miles northeast of West Yellowstone.
Activity in the Maple Creek area continues.
But the general seismicity remains at background levels.
The subsidence of all sections of the caldera continues, the ground sinks by several centimeters per year. The rise in the Norris River Basin is at the same rate.
Scientists have now installed 12 additional semi-permanent GPS stations around the park. They will fill gaps in observations and better understand the characteristics and causes of soil deformation in the region.

April 2018

During April, the supervolcano showed seismic activity 200 times. The strongest earthquake of magnitude 2.7 occurred on the 7th 7 miles north of West Yellowstone.
During the period April 11-16, a swarm of 115 earthquakes was recorded 8 miles from West Thumb. But their magnitude did not exceed 2.4.
Such activity is considered normal for the region.
The subsidence of all sections of the Yellowstone caldera in April continued at a rate of several centimeters per year. The deformations of the Norris Geyser Basin have been very low over the past month.

March 2018

In March, the seismic activity of the supervolcano included 97 events. The largest (magnitude 2.2) occurred on the 18th, 7 miles northeast of West Yellowstone.
It became part of a small swarm of 29 tremors.
The second swarm of 26 events was on March 11, 9 miles northeast of Old Faithful.
Yellowstone activity has returned to background levels.
Soil deformation patterns typical of the last few years are preserved.

On March 15, the Steamboat Geyser woke up. The awakening of the highest geyser in the world was accompanied by strong tremors of the earth. In general, it erupts once every 50 years, but in recent years it has happened much more often. Experts believe that the failure of the periodic eruptions of Steamboat Geyser against the backdrop of strong seismic activity in the Maple Creek area is associated with the advancement of magma to the surface. It should be added here that other geysers woke up not so long ago: Echinus Geyser, Giant Geyser... And now - Steamboat.

February 2018

February is characterized by increased seismic activity. For a month, the instruments recorded 569 tremors. The largest of them (3.1 points) was on the 18th.
February seismicity was marked by an energetic swarm, which accounted for 537 localized earthquakes, including the strongest of the month. This swarm activity was observed 8 miles northeast of West Yellowstone. However, data processing is still ongoing.
Soil deformation patterns typical of the last few years are preserved. The GPS stations in the caldera are dropping by a few mm per year. The station near the Norris Geyser pool rises at the same rate.

In the pictures - the same swarm. But look what a difference! The USGS monitoring system (left) does not display all of the events. True, they already explained this by the fact that too weak shocks do not fall into the statistics. But even the magnitude of the strongest event for the month in the official summary is slightly underestimated (3.1 instead of 3.4). However, maybe they were just wrong.

January 2018

The beginning of the year is marked by rather low activity of the supervolcano. Seismographs recorded a total of 108 minor shocks with low magnitude. The largest (2.4 points) was on the 9th, 9 miles northeast of the lake.
A small swarm of 23 events occurred January 11-13 14 miles northeast of Old Faithful.
Seismicity remains at low background levels.
But the nature of the soil deformation has changed again. At the beginning of the month, subsidence in the Norris Geyser Basin, which began in December, stopped. Now this section of the caldera is rising again. However, neither subsidence nor uplift was accompanied by any significant seismic events. Most likely, Norris's anomalous sinking is due to a temporary change in the storage conditions for hydrothermal fluids under the geyser basin.

Yellowstone Volcano - News 2017

December 2017

In December, the seismicity of the volcano remained at a low level. Of the 86 more or less significant events, the magnitude of the strongest did not exceed 2.3. It was on the 18th, 22 miles northeast of the lake.
A small swarm occurred on December 4-5 near Mount Holmes. The area then shook 18 times.
The December seismicity is in line with the typical background activity observed over the past few years.
But the nature of the deformation of the earth has changed. The climb in the Norris Geyser Basin, which had been going on since the end of 2015, suddenly stopped. Now, in the same area, the soil is subsiding at a rate of 2 cm. A similar situation already occurred in the spring of 2014, when the Norris Rise also abruptly switched to subsidence. But this time the process is not accompanied by any anomalous seismic activity.

A number of sites have reported that the Yellowstone supervolcano is moving. Allegedly, he may disappear from the park and appear somewhere else. The process is associated with the movement of lithospheric plates. But it's not all bad! In a year, the volcano crawls only 2.3 cm. That is, after 6 million years, the access point will be located somewhere in Montana. I don’t know if this can be called news, but for some reason many people wrote about it ...

November 2017

In November, 290 nodal seismometers were installed around the Upper Geyser Basin (near the Old Faithful geyser). They allow you to record seismic signals and thermal characteristics. Now scientists will be able to control the behavior of geysers and hot springs. The study focused on the Geyser Hill region, which has the most concentrated hydrothermal activity on Earth.
Well, the seismicity of the caldera remains at a low level. Only 63 more or less significant events took place there. Moreover, their magnitude did not exceed 2.1.
No other activity was observed.
Ground deformation was also minimal.

October 2017

This month, scientists completed the restoration of semi-permanent GPS stations, expanding the existing network. Maybe now the data on the activity of the volcano and the general situation there will be more accurate ...
So, in October, 111 events are reported. The largest of these occurred on the 30th, 7 miles northeast of West Yellowstone and 3 miles north-northeast of West Thumb. But in both cases, the magnitude of the shocks did not exceed 2.2.
Also October seismic activity was marked by a continuing but weakening swarm north of West Yellowstone. There were 60 earthquakes, which added to the 2475 events recorded in the same area since June.
Another swarm was seen 3 miles northeast of West Thumb. There, the caldera shook 21 times.
Such seismicity is normal and corresponds to typical background activity.
The rates of soil deformation also remain stable and do not exceed historical norms.
In addition, a gravity study has been completed to assess seasonal fluctuations in gravity associated with changes in surface and groundwater levels. Nothing abnormal was found there either.

September 2017

The seismic storm that raged in the caldera all summer is over. In September, only 115 more or less significant events were recorded. The largest shock, which occurred 11 miles south of Old Faithful on the 16th, reached a magnitude of 3.2.
September seismicity was marked by a single swarm 6 miles north of West Yellowstone. But this time the area shook only 78 times. The magnitude of the tremors did not exceed 2.3.
Activity has clearly waned. Let me remind you that in August there were 894 earthquakes, in July - 475, and in June - 1028 earthquakes. So everything is back to normal background levels.
The same applies to soil deformation. The subsidence and uplift of the soil in the caldera and to the north of it proceed at the same rate, which fits within the limits of historical norms.

August 2017

In August, the USGS reports 1,029 significant events. The largest of them (3.3 points) occurred on the 20th. It became part of a continuous activity that began on June 12.
Now 894 more localized earthquakes have been added to this swarm. Let me remind you that in June there were 1028, and in July - 475. All of them occurred near Lake Hebgen, 6-10 miles north of West Yellowstone.
In addition, a small swarm was observed on August 14-18. Then, 9 miles northeast of Old Faithful, the area shook 34 times.
Finally, on the 19th-20th there was a series of 22 tremors. Their scientists recorded 10 miles south of West Thumb.
The seismicity of the supervolcano remains at elevated levels compared to typical background activity.
But the deformations of the soil are still within the historical norms.

If you compare different monitoring systems, you can clearly see the discrepancy. Look, here's what the USGS website (left) and the University of Utah website (right) give out as the same interval (scans taken on August 21). It would seem that they are hushing up information? May be. But the USGS explains this by saying that in fact Yellowstone shakes more often, just thousands of earthquakes do not fall into the statistics, as they are too small or overlap with other events.

July 2017

A seismic storm that hit in June has subsided. This month, 528 significant events were recorded.
The magnitude of the largest reached a value of 3.6. It was recorded on July 18, 9 miles northeast of West Yellowstone.
It became part of a swarm that started in the same area on June 12th. But, if last month there were 1028 earthquakes, then in July another 475 were added to them.
Compared to typical background activity, seismicity remains at elevated levels.
Soil deformations proceed at the same rate, which fits into the standard norms.

June 2017

In June, the activity of the supervolcano increased greatly. It is clearly too early to write it off. Over the past four weeks, the stations responsible for the operation and analysis of this seismic network have reported 1,171 earthquakes.
The strongest earthquake occurred on June 16, its value reached 4.4 points. This was about 9 miles NW of Lake Hebgen where a vigorous swarm was observed in the middle of the month. The cities of Gardiner and West Yellowstone shook at the same time.
The June seismicity includes four distinct clusters of episodic events:
On June 1 and 2 there is a small swarm 14 miles southwest of Mammoth. The area shook 22 times, but the magnitude of the tremors did not exceed 2.6.
The second one started on June 12th. Then, in a relatively small area, located 6 miles north of West Yellowstone, seismic activity just rolled over. Scientists recorded 1027 earthquakes.
Swarm activity was also observed 13 miles east of West Yellowstone on the 13th. But out of 13 events, the magnitude of the largest was only 1.7.
Finally, a fourth swarm occurred on June 14 and 15 east-northeast of West Yellowstone. He included 41 cases. The magnitude of the strongest was 2.3 points.
The activity of the supervolcano last month exceeded by an order of magnitude everything that we have observed in recent years. But what that means is hard to say. It is not at all necessary that an eruption will begin soon. But we cannot exclude this either.
But the deformations of the soil continue to slowly weaken. Uplift in the north, centered near the Norris Basin, is slow. This behavior has been fixed in the last few months and, apparently, will not change yet.

A series of tremors rocked Yellowstone Park. According to the USGS, this time the magnitude reached 4.36, and the depth fluctuated between 1.5-10 km. The epicenter of all events was a section of the caldera 10-15 km east of Lake Hebgen, between Campanula Creek and Richards Creek (West Yellowstone). Against the background of relatively low activity, which we have observed since the beginning of the year, the swarm looks impressive. The volcano reminds of itself again. In just a few days, 428 earthquakes were recorded there.

May 2017

In May, the activity of the volcano increased slightly, the caldera shook 94 times.
The strongest earthquake (magnitude 2.9) occurred on the 7th 8 miles northeast of West Yellowstone.
This event was part of a small swarm of 27 earthquakes observed on May 5-8.
The seismic activity of the territory remains at a low level.
As for the deformation of the soil, everything is the same here. The current subsidence and uplift of the soil fit into historical norms.

April 2017

In April, only 61 events are reported.
Yellowstone shook the most on the 21st, when the magnitude of the tremors reached a value of 2.4. It was 2.5 miles north-northeast of the lake.
Swarms were not observed.
The seismic activity of the volcano falls and remains at a low background level.
Soil deformations in the monitored areas continue to slowly subside. To the north of the caldera, uplift occurs at a slow rate.

March 2017

In March, the stations responsible for monitoring and analyzing the seismic zone recorded 63 events there.
The largest of these, at magnitude 2.9, was on the 29th, 11 miles north of Pahaska Tepee.
There were no roes.
Caldera activity remains at a low background level.
Uplift near Norris Geyser Basin has stopped for the time being.

February 2017

Over the past period, Yellowstone shook only 48 times.
The magnitude of the tremors reached a maximum value of 2.4. The event was recorded on February 09, 16 miles south of Mammoth.
There was not a single swarm.
The seismic activity of the volcano was at a low background level.
The deformation of the earth's surface in the Norris Geyser Basin, which began at the end of 2015, has now stopped. The area began to slowly subside. This has already happened, such models fit within the limits of historical norms.

Well, some more photos from those places:

Want to see photos of Yellowstone? A selection of rare photographs that have hardly been published on the Internet. Among them: old slides, a chronicle of the strongest earthquake, modern photos from the NASA archives, simply beautiful images.

Yellowstone Volcano 2019 - the first major magma ejection that occurred a few days ago, indicates that the eruption is beginning. The latest news for today and the opinions of NOD experts eloquently indicate that over 70% of cities on the US map can be destroyed.

In this article:

• Scale of the catastrophe
• Latest news 2019
• Chronicle of events and signs of the eruption
• When will the eruption begin (forecasts and predictions)
• What will the collapse of the USA and Canada from the volcano mean for Russia?

Yellowstone National Park. Beautiful canyons, waterfalls, geysers. Virgin, but sometimes dead forest.

When you walk along the stage to the water-filled caldera, from time to time the earth emits a rumble, tremors occur. The wooden flooring cracks, a shiver runs through the body.

Like a giant rectum struck by polyps, a volcanic nozzle filled with green water goes deep into it. From time to time, smoky hydrogen sulfide bubbles burst out of the water with a terrible sob.

There, at the bottom of the caldera, under a thin partition of rocks - DEATH. And few imagine HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS for the whole earth.

Scale of the catastrophe

The eruption power of the Yellowstone volcano is about 1,375,000 megatons of TNT, or about 23,000 copies of the famous nuclear "Tsar bomb".

The amount of ash that will rise into the air will be about 300 billion cubic meters. The area of ​​scattering of large fragments will be about 3000 kilometers. Scientists predict a shift of the lithospheric plate by 12 kilometers to the west, a total flood due to a short heating of the ocean and the melting of glaciers.

Light fractions will settle in the air, which will lead to a volcanic winter for 10-12 years.

The temperature on Earth in the first days will increase by 10-15 degrees, and then fall by 20-30 degrees. The northern part of the Pacific Ocean will be ice-bound for the first three years. The Bering Strait will freeze completely.

As a result of the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, 200 million people will die immediately, another 4 billion (!) Will die within 5 years as a result of floods, famine and food wars.

In 10-12 years after the eruption of Yellowstone, the population of the Earth will return to the level of the 18th century, most of the countries will disappear from the map of the earth. Mexico, USA and Canada will become completely dead regions. America can go under water for 1-2 years.

Latest news 2019

February, 15. Desman corpses began to be found in the Yellowstone River. Biologists believe that this is a consequence of an increase in the sulfur content of the water and its temperature due to volcanic activity.

February 4th. Scientists have recorded a partial release of magma from the bottom of the volcano. The rise of the soil and the increase in the temperature of the magma chamber also worries experts.

January 7. ATNASA acknowledged powerlessness in preventing the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. The project to drill wells to pump water and redirect magma has been declared useless. Scientists are frantically looking for new solutions.

December 24th. Yellowstone geyser "Steamboat" broke the record of 1964. Not so long ago, a dormant geyser in 2018 became more active and erupted several times more than 54 years ago. This is the most powerful geyser in the park, it ejects boiling water to a height of more than 120 meters.

Chronicle of events and signs of the eruption

A number of signs indicate that the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano begins, its activity is increasing, so a global catastrophe is just around the corner. 2019 may be the last year of the prosperous existence of mankind.

Chronicle of Yellowstone Caldera activity:

	Events
	Fragments of magma from the Sheridan fumarole were found in the Wapiti River.
	The increase in the activity of geysers, "Steamboat" breaks a record in 1964. The concentration of sulfur in the atmosphere for the first time exceeded the norm. For the first time, a powerful earthquake with a magnitude exceeding calculations - 7.8 points, stronger than in 1959, was recorded.
	New cracks were found on dead trees near the thermal springs - a consequence of the increased temperature. The area of ​​the endangered forest has increased by 34 hectares. In March, the grand geyser "Old Servant" threw out a sheaf of sparks with pieces of magma instead of boiling water.
	Landslides on the Signal and Gorbataya mountains, the death of two men in a tent. Increasing the concentration of hydrogen sulfide close to normal. The intensity of soil uplift reached 10 cm per year.
	Mass migration of small animals from the vicinity of the volcano. American lake rats, desmans and muskrats began to leave the places inhabited for centuries. In January, recorded the strongest gas release on the northern shore of the lake.
	Soil growth of 5-6 cm per year has been observed. Mass death of bison from gas release. The complete extinction of the lynx, the reduction in the number of foxes and coyotes. The geyser "Steamboat" woke up, almost 200 new thermal springs were discovered in a year. The beginning of the growth of panic about the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano.
	The increase in seismic activity forced the authorities to build a volcanic observatory. NASA is tasked with creating a project to neutralize the volcano.
	The beginning of the decline in the number of animals. The US authorities have begun measures to artificially maintain the fauna, in nat. wolves, grizzly bears and other species were launched in Yellowstone Park.
	A catastrophic fire due to a sudden release of magma from the mountain sphincter. Kennedy. Almost 4000 km2 of forest burned out, the city of Dildostown was destroyed.
	More than 3000 earthquakes per year. The lowering of the caldera was recorded, which may indicate a reduction in the thickness of the protective layer of hard rocks between the magma and the atmosphere.
	The volcano began to wake up. A 7.4 magnitude earthquake breaks a dam on Lake Hebgen. Faults and cracks formed in the ground, 30 people died. A new lake appeared - Quake.

It is the growth of seismic activity dynamics, the increase in gas emissions and the emergence of new geysers that causes the greatest concern. Such signs always precede awakening volcanoes.

For the United States and Canada, the eruption threatens to completely disappear.

When will the eruption begin (forecasts and predictions)

Predictions about the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano were made not only by famous astrologers and prophets, physicists like Newton and Jose Ramon Espinoza laid out the prerequisites for this in their calculations.

Nostradamus prophesied about the signs of the end of the world in the form of earthquakes, a flood and a great famine, which fully fits into the concept of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Vanga talked a lot about the fact that "America will freeze" and will be "bound by a cloud" for many years.

From the point of view of probability theory, it was calculated that the Yellowstone catastrophe could be 0.00014% per year. The last eruption was 640 thousand years ago.

That is, as of today in 2019, the probability is… 89,6% !

The exact date of the eruption is probably already known to NASA specialists, who have covered Wyoming National Park with sensors since the early 2000s and monitor the situation around the clock. However, they are naturally silent about this, since the resulting panic can cause much more damage to humanity, provoke wars and a migration collapse on the eve of the eruption. More detailed scientific rationale.

The world government will suffer in this case, the world will plunge into complete chaos and anarchy. The scenarios of the post-apocalysis realized in the films will become a reality. It is important to preserve at least the basic laws formed in the UN, international conventions and so on.

In the next two years, humanity is simply obliged to find a way out, otherwise it is threatened with extinction.

What will the collapse of the USA and Canada from the volcano mean for Russia?

Russia from the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano will not directly suffer. Cold snap and floods will not bypass it, there will be a severe food crisis, but V.V. Putin and D.A. Medvedev overcame even more difficult times, and now Russia has almost no public debt, rich gold reserves and a strong ruble. There will be enough oil and electricity to run autonomous greenhouses for growing food. For the first two years, the strategic food reserves of the Ministry of Defense will suffice, then, through surplus appropriation and a policy of economy, food will be fairly distributed through a special commission from the United Russia party.

The biggest problem is the flow of refugees from Canada, the US and Mexico. Given the freezing of the Pacific Ocean, they will massively run across the ice to Russia. And no machine guns can stop them, all hope is for the Iskanders, which will make giant polynyas in the ice.

The defecting Americans will bring many troubles to Russia. They will drag their national debt, juvenile justice and gay rights. In overcrowded Khrushchevs, scandals will begin because of tolerance. But in the end, Putin will give them the right to reside in exchange for the recognition of Crimea.

The Internet will die out due to the death of Microsoft, Intel, Android and the largest American servers. People will exchange information in queues for palm oil and feed grain, which will be issued to them on cards.

Of course, in view of the acute crisis, it will be necessary to slightly increase the retirement age and gasoline prices, but Russia will lose its major enemy - America, which was still threatened with slow extinction due to obesity and the collapse of the dollar.

The Yellowstone volcano in 2019 should serve as a motivator to harvest food, build shelters, buy watercraft, warm clothes and respirators, a smart person can save his family if he starts preparing for an eruption right now.

The most pessimistic scenario for the awakening of a supervolcano is as follows: it will be an explosion comparable to the explosion of 1000 atomic bombs. The ground part of the supervolcano will collapse into a funnel with a diameter of fifty kilometers. An ecological catastrophe will occur on Earth. For the US, the eruption of Yellowstone will mean the end of existence.

The saddest thing is that not only alarmists, but also experts are talking about such consequences. Yakov Levenshtern from the Yellowstone Volcanic Observatory (USA) said that more than 1 thousand km³ of magma fell out into all previous supervolcano eruptions (there were three of them). This is enough to cover most of North America with a layer of ash up to 30 cm (at the epicenter of the disaster). Loewenstern also noted that the air temperature throughout the world will drop by 21 degrees, visibility will become no more than half a meter for several years. An era similar to nuclear winter will come.

Hurricane Katrina showed that the US civil defense system is not ready for such large-scale cataclysms - and the civil defense of no country will be able to prepare for them.

Domestic scientists do not get tired of predicting the eruption of a supervolcano. The head of the Department of Dynamic Geology of the Geological Faculty of Moscow State University, Nikolai Koronovsky, in an interview with Vesti, told what would happen after the eruption:

“The winds are predominantly westerly, so everything will go to the east of the USA. Will cover them. Solar radiation will decrease, which means that the temperature will have to fall. The famous eruption of the Krakatau volcano in the Sunda Strait in 1873 lowered the temperature by about 2 degrees in the equatorial part for a year and a half, until the ash dissipated.

Many volcanologists have started talking about the fact that the Yellowstone volcano is waking up and its eruption can begin at any moment! What then will become of the United States and the rest of the world if this suddenly happens?

According to American volcanologists, the eruption of the largest volcano in the world, the Yellowstone Caldera, can lead to the Apocalypse.

Recently, the dormant volcano has begun to show more and more obvious signs of activity, which only further inflames the situation around it.

Why is there black smoke coming out of the Yellowstone volcano geyser?

So, very recently, on the night of October 3-4, 2017, black smoke poured out of the volcano, which seriously frightened the inhabitants of Wyoming. It turned out that the smoke was coming from Geyser "Old Faithful"- the most famous geyser volcano.

Usually, a volcano ejects jets of hot water from a geyser as high as a 9-story building at intervals of 45 to 125 minutes, but here instead of water or at least steam, black smoke poured out.

Why is black smoke coming out of a volcano?- unclear. Perhaps this is a burning organic matter that has approached the surface.

What happens if the Yellowstone Super Volcano erupts?

The first known eruption was two million years ago, the second was 1.3 million years ago, and the last earthquake occurred 630,000 years ago.

A super-volcano under Yellowstone National Park has been growing at a record rate since 2004. And it can explode with a force a thousand times more powerful than several hundred volcanoes all over the earth at the same time.

At any moment, with its eruption, it can destroy the territory of the United States, which may even begin a world catastrophe - the Apocalypse, as some American scientists believe.

Experts predict that the volcanic eruption will be no less powerful than all three times when the Yellowstone volcano erupted over the past 2.1 million years.

According to the forecasts of volcanologists, the lava will rise high into the sky, the ash will cover the nearby territories with a layer of 15 meters and a distance of 5000 kilometers.

In the very first days, the territory of the United States may become uninhabited due to toxic air. The dangers in North America will not end there, as the likelihood of earthquakes and tsunamis that can destroy hundreds of cities will increase.

The consequences of the explosion will affect the whole world, as the accumulation of vapors from the Yellowstone volcano will envelop the entire planet. The smoke will make it difficult for the sun's rays to pass through, which will provoke the onset of a long winter. Global temperatures will drop to -25 degrees on average.

How does the volcanic eruption in Yellowstone threaten Russia?

Experts believe that the country is unlikely to be affected by the explosion itself, but the consequences will affect the entire remaining population, as there will be an acute shortage of oxygen, perhaps due to a decrease in temperature, first plants and then animals will not remain.

When the whole of Europe was experiencing political catastrophes, in the United States the earth's firmament trembled in the most literal sense - an earthquake occurred in the national park in Wyoming, the strength of which was almost 5 points, and all the media reported that the end of the world would come soon.

What happened this April in a US state national park?

In the spring of this year, experts around the world began to sound the alarm about the fact that the Yellowstone volcano in America began to show its activity, to wake up. The reason for this was several earth tremors, the strongest of which was 4.8 points, and a significant increase in water temperature in geyser lakes. According to experts, this can cause catastrophic consequences, up to the Apocalypse. So far, no end of the world has happened, although this volcano is waking up in America, but how long will this rather calm life last? Nobody can even imagine this. In fact, people know no more about the processes that take place underground than about what is happening in the far reaches of space, and perhaps when the Yellowstone volcano wakes up, we will all be in for an unpleasant surprise. As we have already said, this can only be guessed at.

What volcano wakes up in America? What is special about the Yellowstone Volcano?

It is located in Wyoming, in Yellowstone National Park. The park itself is very beautiful, and in particular the photos of these places speak about it. The volcano is so huge that not everyone will even notice it up close. You may simply not understand that what you are looking at is the mouth of a volcano. In fact, this is a huge "bowl" in the mountains, which are located on the territory of the national park. In scientific terms, this "bowl" is called a caldera. It covers an area of ​​4 thousand square kilometers. For a more accurate representation, let's say that the area of ​​the "bowl" is one and a half squares in Moscow and two squares in Tokyo. At present, it is the most powerful active volcano on Earth. According to scientists, the force of the eruption of this volcano will be comparable to the force of the explosion of a thousand atomic bombs.

A volcano that can't calm down

Scientists also found that over the past 17 million years, with a frequency of approximately 600 thousand years, this volcano wakes up in America. During eruptions, huge amounts of ash and lava are ejected to the surface. In the caldera, the thickness is only 400 meters, and on average on the planet its thickness is 40 kilometers. According to researchers, the last time the Yellowstone volcano erupted 640 thousand years ago. So, perhaps soon we will talk about the fact that the Yellowstone volcano is waking up in America. And on Earth, another large-scale catastrophe begins, as a result of which all life dies.

Is it really the end of the world when the Yellowstone volcano wakes up?

Some researchers believe that the risk of disaster is very high. According to them, the force of the eruption will be comparable to the force of the cataclysm that occurred during the birth of life on Earth. Many thousands of cubic kilometers of lava will be poured into the United States. Those places where lava does not reach will be covered with volcanic ash. The whole of North America will turn into a sparsely inhabited desert.

Other countries, according to experts, also cannot avoid trouble, because the ash will rise into the earth's atmosphere and cover the entire surface of our planet from the sun's rays. There will be a very long night all over the Earth. It will be impossible to see anything even at arm's length.

On Earth, deprived of solar heat, winter will reign. The temperature in different parts of the planet will fall to the level of -15 to -50 degrees. Plants will die, agricultural production will drop sharply. People will start dying of hunger and hypothermia. According to experts, 99% of the world's population will die, and the countdown to the beginning of these terrible days has already begun ...

What are the signs that an eruption is near?

It is far from a fact that the experts are right and everything will end as scary as it is described a little higher. However, since the beginning of 2014, according to various sources, from 60 to 200 tremors have occurred in Yellowstone. The strongest of them was recorded on March 30, its power was, as already mentioned, 4.8 points. The temperature of many geyser lakes in the national park has risen sharply by 20 degrees. This means that magma is moving along towards the Earth's surface.

According to scientists, in the event of an explosion of a volcano in Yellowstone, a giant array of magma, the size of which will be somewhere around 80 by 20 kilometers, can spill onto the earth. The end of the world may not happen, and not many people will die, or even everyone will survive, but the American economy could be dealt a significant blow. It is quite possible that other countries will have to help the United States cope with the consequences of the catastrophe that may arise due to the fact that the Yellowstone volcano in America is waking up.

What else could happen in the event of an explosion of a volcano in Yellowstone?

As is already clear, reports of the imminent end of the world after the earth tremors in Yellowstone are somewhat premature. Definitely it will not start right now or in the near future. However, the fact that it will not happen at all cannot be guaranteed either. Perhaps there will be a giant earthquake in Yellowstone, which, no doubt, will also cause significant harm.

In general, the possibility of an eruption and the consequences that will be when the Yellowstone volcano wakes up cannot be said for sure, one can only guess. Perhaps, not everything is told to ordinary people and something is hidden from them. Nobody can say for sure about this. It is only known that in the spring the US government did not carry out the evacuation of people from areas close to the Yellowstone National Park.
