Essay --

I watched a documentary on Youtube virtu onlyy the Super Volcano that lies beneath the oldest national park. I turn out unceasingly been very interested in this particular vent-hole because it is so closely to my home in Colorado. I found this documentary to be good informative while being left extraordinarily frightening. All of those rattling(prenominal) geysers, boiling mud pits, and pools of heated sulfur, all get their power by the magma chamber a mere 5 miles below the surface. This Magma chamber contains over one million tons of partially molten rock. Volcanologists have explored all parts of meitnerium, Idaho, and Wyoming. The discoveries that they made would shock the world, they have found 3 calderas from bygone rushs. The last and biggest eruption of all time known to man, taking place 64,000 days ago, left a huge Caldera towards the North part of Wyoming up into Montana that can only be plentifuly seen in the air. The effects of this eruption were felt most h eavily in a radius of ccc miles however there were devastating effects were felt worldwide and they lasted up to 9 years. This caldera is the biggest ever known to mankind, and with part of it overlapped with a caldera from a previous, small eruption, ultimately creating an even larger caldera. This is the foundation for a globally disseminate disaster. Theres only one eruption that can around match the destruction that would come when the pressure starts to build and everything explodes. That is the Eruption in Toba. We know from this eruption that when a supervolcano erupts the immediate effects will pack place in a Possible 450ft. Radius. A super volcano differs from the typical volcano in the sense that there is no covered stadium or raise earth where the opening is. Instead, the magma chamber is rumbling ... ...fference of bread and butter and death. I liked the production and presentation of the documentary, it was VERY informative and chalked full of facts that I am dy ing to share with everyone now. If I could change anything about(predicate) the message that they sent across would be that, yes if an eruption were to happen (which it in all likelihood will sometime in the not so far out future however far away that may be, anywhere from a year from now, to one thousand years from now) our future would be crude and most likely the earth would be desolate. But I would have added in the factor and hope that comes with knowing that Gods in control and it was his will for this to happen. Overall It leaves me knowing everything I would have ever want to know about the Yellowstone Supervolcano. Yet in a unnamed way, it leaves me wanting to explore deeper into the mystery that lies just beneath our feet.
