Yellowstone Supervolcano: Where Will It Erupt Next?

Yellowstone Supervolcano: Where Will It Erupt Next?

Yellowstone National Park is home to one of the Earth’s most fascinating geological wonders—a supervolcano. But where could it erupt next? Scientists finally have answers!br br :volcano: Key Findings:br br Future Hotspot: Research pinpoints the northeastern corner near Sour Creek Dome as the most likely site for future eruptions—but not for hundreds of thousands of years.br Magma Reservoirs: Four massive underground magma chambers exist, with only the northeast remaining active and hot enough for potential eruptions.br Cutting-Edge Techniques: Using magnetotellurics, scientists mapped Yellowstone’s magma with Earth’s magnetic field, revealing more magma here than during its last three super-eruptions combined.br Eruption Risk: Good news! Yellowstone’s magma is only filling 20 of underground pores, far below the 40 threshold needed for mobility.br :sunriseovermountains: What’s Next?br Yellowstone’s supervolcano isn’t erupting anytime soon, but it continues to be a window into the Earth’s incredible power. Let’s marvel at its beauty while staying curious about its mysteries.br Location: Londonbr WooGlobe Ref : WGA961974br For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.
