That's just the immediate effects. Expect a few inches minimum of ash across the entirety of North America.

Trolled, softly.

It was.

Depending on wind direction and speed, the ash cloud could reach Vancouver and beyond. The "five hundred mile" radius from the eruption is a very conservative estimate.

Actually, if yellowstone erupts then the whole world is pretty much fucked. Not necessarily dead, just fucked. Once america crashes the entire world economy crashes. Honestly, the places that would be least affected would be countries like africa which are already shit holes

Geologists are closely monitoring the rise and fall of the Yellowstone Plateau, which measures on average 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) yearly, as an indication of changes in magma chamber pressure.[20][21]

The upward movement of the Yellowstone caldera floor—almost 3 inches (7.6 cm) each year between 2004 and 2008—was more than three times greater than ever observed since such measurements began in 1923.[22] From mid-Summer 2004 through mid-Summer 2008, the land surface within the caldera moved upwards, as much as 8 inches (20 cm) at the White Lake GPS station.[23][24] By the end of 2009, the uplift had slowed significantly and appeared to have stopped.[25] In January 2010, the USGS stated "that uplift of the Yellowstone Caldera has slowed significantly" [26] and uplift continues but at a slower pace.[27] The U.S. Geological Survey, University of Utah and National Park Service scientists with the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory maintain that they "see no evidence that another such cataclysmic eruption will occur at Yellowstone in the foreseeable future. Recurrence intervals of these events are neither regular nor predictable."[11]

OP's a troll. But the threat of Yellowstone is the fact that it's already several hundred years overdue, and it can pretty much blow up at any given moment.

It'll happen eventually, but its not something you should lose sleep over.

Or we could put a Geothermal Plant in Yellowstone and see if we can set it off that way.

The periodicity of the eruptions isn't known to that sort of precision. There are tens of thousands of years of uncertainty, at least.

Uh yeah....I am not even from your country but I lived there for awhile...do you have any idea whats in CO? And why losing it might be a bad thing?

>> No.3958207

I dunno if any of you are old enough to remember St Helen's but we had ash up north of Edmonton (which was cool at the time) and that was a tiny little pimple compared to this thing and it will probably not be a curiousity like last time, it'll be a "oh shit my roof collapsed and none of my vehicles work anymore which I would be more irritated about if I could brea-" type situation.

If that thing ever goes I am hiding in a train tunnel with a rifle and some rye. It probably wont help, but whatever.
Great farming for whoever survives once the sun comes back at least! I think anyways, I dont actually know the exact elements that would be in that explosion.

But we've known about this for a long time and nothing's happened yet so we're probably good.

>> No.3958227

Live in the Minneapolis suburbs, I'm usually on the very edge of their ash zone.
But if it erupts, farming is fucked, and world food shortages are guaranteed
