Many scientists are keeping watch over the activity occurring in the Yellowstone volcano because of its potential to inflict large-scale damage in the United States. Now, scientists at the USGS have now warned of a possible devastating eruption after running simulations of ashfall.
Scientist Dr. Mike Poland warned of the possible disastrous eruption ahead that could come from the Yellowstone volcano in the USGS’ “Overview, Monitoring, Hazards, and Noteworthy Results” video. Dr. Poland explained that the Yellowstone caldera has five magma chambers with what is described as “a mantle-melting anomaly deep beneath the surface” that also happens to feed the magma chambers.
