There is currently no evidence that there is a risk of a major eruption happening any time soon. While an eruption may be possible, it is unlikely to occur any time in the next ten thousand years. The most likely form of activity appears to be in the form of laval flows, but even these are unlikely to occur any time soon.
People have attempted to stop volcanic eruptions by diverting magma flow or cooling the volcano with water, but these methods are often ineffective due to the size and power of volcanic eruptions. It is generally not practical or safe to try to stop a volcanic eruption by putting something in the volcano.
It didn't. The Yellowstone volcano last erupted about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago.
There is no record of the Yellowstone volcano erupting on January 12, 2009. The volcano has not had a major eruption for about 640,000 years, but it does experience minor volcanic activity such as geysers and hot springs.
an erupting volcano?
Eventually, yes. However, the chances of it erupting any time soon are very small. The last super eruption was 640,000 years ago with smaller, though still large, eruptions up to 70,000 years ago.
Yes, Old Faithful is not a volcano. It is actually a geyser located in Yellowstone National Park, known for its regularly erupting columns of water and steam.
an active volcano is a volcano that is erupting or has shown signs of erupting in the near future.
The effects of the Yellowstone volcano will be felt worldwide in the next super eruption. However, the chances of it occurring in out lifetimes are extremely small.
An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting or dormant. An erupting volcano is an active volcano that is having an eruption... A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again.
Most scientists believe that Yellowstone is not truly active and that they would be able to detect if the Yellowstone volcano was going to erupt years before it erupted. But there is no way to no for sure if the Yellowstone caldera is truly active (building up for an eruption).
No, Mount Rakata in Indonesia is not extinct. It is still an active volcano. However, the chances of it erupting are slim.
The name of the volcano erupting in Iceland is Eyjafjallajökull
