Yellowstone Park Ranger Revealed What He Encountered In Yellowstone National Park

When we think about volcanoes, one of the first things that comes to mind is an eruption. These volcanoes cause a rift in the earth’s crust, allowing hot lava, gases, and volcanic ash to escape from beneath the surface. While an eruption is probable in the presence of a volcano, it is clearly evident that volcanoes are one of the most destructive forces on the planet. There are currently more than 1,500 active volcanoes across the globe, but only about 15 of them are considered to be super volcanoes. While the number of super volcanoes is far lower, the eruptions they generate are extremely volatile, with a magnitude of 8 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, with 8 being the highest number on the scale.

The Yellowstone caldera, located in Yellowstone National Park in the western United States, is one of these super volcanoes. Just recently, officials from Yellowstone National Park issued an announcement on a disastrous event that is going to take place in the near future. So, what’s going on at Yellowstone Park? Do we need to be concerned about the inevitable catastrophe? Join us in today’s video as we explain why park officials are concerned that Yellowstone will crack the earth open.

Yellowstone Caldera

 

With about 4 million tourists every year, it is no surprise that Yellowstone is widely regarded. The park is known for its wildlife and many geothermal features, attracting a large number of visitors each year and even prompting those who have previously visited to return just to witness the Park’s mystical features over and over again, making it one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.

Yellowstone‘s presence was first recognized at least 11 000 years ago, when Native Americans began fishing and hunting in the area. Scientists discovered this knowledge while investigating ancient deposits near the shore of Yellowstone Lake. Yellowstone National Park, on the other hand, is not your typical park with luscious green grass and gorgeous stone park chairs. In fact, the opposite is true. Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 and is often regarded as the world’s first National Park. The supervolcano hiding beneath the ground has been closely and continually researched since 1923, but magma activity has recently led the ground to swell and rise by up to 25 cm, or about 10 inches. The rise levelled off, indicating that the magma was cooling and hardening. This was an early indication to scientists who have been monitoring the sleeping monster’s behavior that it may be ready to awaken.
