Scientists on the pages of the scientific journal BusinessInsider have shared information about what will happen to our planet as a result of the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. Geologists said that if this process does happen, a global cooling will begin and all living things within a radius of 800 kilometers from the volcano will die.
Volcano Yellowstone is one of the largest on our planet. Scientists believe that in the entire history of its existence, it has erupted three times. At the same time, many residents believe that this process will be repeated in the near future. The last, third, eruption caused great damage to the surrounding nature, completely changed the landscape and climate. Experts believe that the next eruption will occur in about 300 thousand years, because in 2.1 million years it has already covered the earth with lava ash three times.
Scientists immediately refute the information that the "end of the world" is possible after the eruption. Yes, the consequences will be global, but not of such a global scale, experts say. If this happens, the ash will create gas clouds that will reflect the sun's rays, and this in turn will lead to a cold snap around the world. The lava itself can destroy the surrounding area within a radius of 800 kilometers. Scientists have calculated that the probability of an eruption is 0.00014 percent per year.
