5. But… There’s more to Yellowstone then you would think. It’s more devastating then a nuclear bomb… It’s… It’s a…

7.   Yellowstone records between 1000 to 2000 minor earth quakes per year.  Signs of a super eruption come with days of major earth quakes.  Giving days of notice. Pre-Eruption

8.   Yellowstone is categorized as a super volcano because of the size of its enormous magma chamber.  The chamber holds enough magma to cover 1000 cubic kilometers upon eruption. Magma Facts

9.  CCCCaused by earth quakes that shift the inner crust causing cracks for the magma to flow into. RRRResulting in the magma melting through these crevices, igniting gases causing an unstoppable chain reaction. TTTThus causing a super eruption! Super Eruption!!

10.   Any big eruption causes cooling of the atmosphere.  This global cooling would only last roughly 2 years until the ash cloud completely settles.  Caused by the release of billions of tons of ash.  Also, air travel would be suspended. Global Effects

11.   Lava and ash would wipeout surrounding eco systems.  Resulting in massive food shortages in North and South America.  Europe and Asia could also be affected by drifting ash clouds. Eco System Destruction

12.   70 thousand years ago was last documented super eruption.  It wiped out all surrounding eco systems and wildlife across the world believe it or not!  Needless to say, it would be much more devastating today because human beings didn’t even exist back then. In the Past…

13.   Considering its 50,000 plus years overdue, preparation needs to be had:  Save money to flee the country before the eruption,  Have lots of extra food and water  Possibly build a bunker  All of these are great ways to help deal with this tragedy How to Prepare for Yellowstone

14.  This baby is going to be gigantic. In Conclusion If there is no preparation done, you will no longer exist. Simple as that folks. RUN!!!
