Humans may be able to survive, but many billions could die off from starvation due to lack of food because ash would block out the sun. However, Yellowstone lies on a hot spot and erupts every 600000 years. The last eruption was 640000 years ago, meaning either were overdue or Yellowstone moved past the hot spot and is unable to erupt.

However, the eruption would release millions of tons of ash into the air, which would be carried by the wind and would be enough to circle the entire world. This would block out the sunlight long enough to trigger a new ice age.

But luckily for us it won't erupt for another few million years.

Which is more likely to be dangerous a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been active for 100 years why?
A volcano that has been inactive for 100 years because when it erupts it might give off a big explosion.!
How might an erupting volcano make a kind of plant extinct?

Are there signs for the eruption of volcanoes?
Before a volcano erupts, there is normally an increase in earthquakes, you might see some volcanic ash come out, you might see an increase in gas or steam around the volcano, and you might see a change in height or shape of the land around the volcano.

What will happen in the apocalypse?
In the apocalypse many things might happen like: Global Pandemic, Global Warming, Crustal Displacement/Pole Shift, Super Volcano/Yellowstone National Park, Meteor Impact, or an Omnicide (human extintion due to human itself/human actions.
Which is more likely to be dangerous a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for 100 years why?
A volcano that erupts frequently keeps pressures down on the inside of the volcano. People in the area become familiar with the signs it is about to erupt. But a volcano that has sat dormant will fool people into thinking the mountain is safe, even 'dead'. New generations never experienced the volcano erupting. They may have built houses and businesses too close to the mountain. When it erupts, the volcano will have up to 100 years of pressures built up behind the eruption. It might not give any warning signs before it erupts. So not only will people be caught off guard, living too close, the eruption may be so large that people cannot get away fast enough.
Why will the Yellowstone super volcano erupt in your lifetime?
It probably won't. It is commonly stated that the volcano erupts every 600,000 years, and given that its last eruption was 640,000 years ago, we are overdue. However, 600,000 years is just an average; the volcano is no that regular. The last 3 super eruptions were 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and 640,000 years ago, giving intervals of 800,000 and 660,000 years. Given the amount of variability the volcano still might not erupt for more than 100,000 years. The odds of it happening in the next few decades are rather small.
What is a well known caldera in the US?
a well known and very dangerous caldera is a volcano named Yellowstone volcano and this a national park but it MIGHT soon erupt. hope this helps
Why might a major volcano eruption lead to cooler temperatures over a large area around the area?
Because when the volcano erupts it lets all the hot volcanic acid and lava out of the ground making the earth's surface cooler.
What happen when a volcano is active?
When a volcano is active it will erupt. These volcanoes might take many years to erupt but will still erupt.
