It would cause mass disaster. The Yellowstone magma chamber is 45 miles wide, and over 660 miles deep, and is under so much pressure that scientists can't even begin to predict how much. The magma chamber is slowly rising up into Yellowstone, hence heating the geysers. But WHEN Yellowstone does erupt, scientists expect the blast to be above supersonic speed, and travel more than 4,000 miles, more than the Krakatoa eruption of 1885. Pyroclastic clouds and lahars would plague the surrounding area for up to 20 miles, but vulcanologists think that with more velocity in the blast, Pyroclastic clouds may travel hundreds of miles before collapsing. The whole mountain will probably be blown up, similar to Mt. St. Helens but on a much larger scale. Extreme lava flow would follow, completely destroying and re-shaping the landscape, but the tephra will be the thing that causes the worst effects. Linking back to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens (which scientists believe to be 10,000 times smaller than the Yellowstone eruption, when it does happen), which put 1 Billion Cubic tons of ash into the atmosphere, they think that Yellowstone may put as much as 12,000 Billion Cubic tons of ash into the atmosphere, which would surround the globe in a matter of days, and in my opinion, end all life on earth, simply because it would block out all light and heat from the sun, and as everyone knows, nothing can survive without heat.

What are some of the hazards when volcano erupts?
Some hazards when a volcano erupts include lava flows that can destroy buildings and infrastructure, pyroclastic flows that can cause rapid and deadly avalanches of hot rock, ashfall that can damage crops and disrupt transportation, and volcanic gases that can pose health risks to humans and animals.
How does the center of the earth cause a natural disaster?
The mantle is made of lava. When lava makes cracks in the crust it makes a volcano. When the volcano erupts it makes a natrual diaster.
How explosively or quietly a volcano erupts is not affected by?
If a volcano erupts more explosively, the lava spewing out tends to reach farther, possibly ruining a near by town. If it erupts more quietly, not as much lava tends to spew out. However, any eruption will cause harm to the atmosphere because it releases harmful pollutants.
What are the dangers to humans and the environment when a volcano erupts?
When a volcano erupts, dangers to humans include ashfall, lava flows, pyroclastic flows, and lahars, which can cause injuries, respiratory issues, and property damage. Environmental impacts can include air and water pollution, destruction of habitats, and changes in climate due to release of gases and ash into the atmosphere.
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 erupts frequently is more likely to be dangerous because it can cause more frequent destruction and pose a continuous threat to nearby areas. However, a volcano that has been active for 100 years could potentially have built up pressure and be primed for a larger, more explosive eruption. Both types of volcanoes can be hazardous in different ways.
How does a volcano cause a lot of damage?
when it erupts the lava can flow to places and the ash cloud and gases from the volcano are very dangerous for humans.
What can a natural disaster do to an environment after a volcano erupts?
After a natural disaster such as a volcano erupts, it can disrupt the environment in various ways. The intense explosion of ashes that embed the atmosphere can cause climatic changes and wreak havoc on weather patterns.
What are some of the hazards when volcano erupts?

The mantle is made of lava. When lava makes cracks in the crust it makes a volcano. When the volcano erupts it makes a natrual diaster.
Does continental drift cause new land?
Yes, it can cause new land if an underwater volcano erupts due to Continental Drift, and the lava goes hard.
When did the last volcano erupt and what damage did it cause?
That is what I want to know.
What are the hazards of an erupting volcano?
The hazards of a volcano can be quite serious. For example, the lava which is extremely hot and can burn you to death. The volcanic ash goes into your lungs when you breath in and when a volcano erupts, it may cause earthquakes. I hope this answer helps!!!

Where is a volcano in the US that if its erupts would almost destroy the US?
There is a volcano underneath Yellow Stone National Park, the home of the geyser Old Faithful. Scientists believe that if it erupted it would be 1,000 times the size of Mt. St. Helena. It would not only destroy much of the US but has the power to cause havoc worldwide.
Why do volcanic eruptions result in so little propert damage?
Usually cities are distant from active volcanos. Therefore, when a volcano erupts, its magma cools and solidifies before reaching the city. But it will be wrong to conclude that all eruptions do not cause property damage as volcanic patterns are unpredictable and there may be several exceptions.
What are the dangers to humans and the environment when a volcano erupts?
