Image Ok it says so that theres a super volcano under Yellowstone National Park http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...ellowstone.html If this thing is going to blow then its going to be big , half of USA will be effected by it. I dont know if the story is true but it seems so. Ive seen it been posted before in other forums...
Ok, a few things to consider... What makes Old Faithful work? What makes the floor of the lake expand? What 'powers' all of the geothermal hot springs, etc... in the park? There IS something there, and yes, it is volcanic. The question is...how big is the risk?
Heh , good thing if it does happen its not going to erupt near anywhere i live in the US. Its gonna suck for all the other people who live in or near it though..
If it erupts, it's going to affect the entire world. [/b][/quote] If you mean affect the entire world in a geographical way, like change of weather or whatever it may cause, then yes, maybe, who knows. If you mean it like "millions of Americans will die, the world will never be the same", then HELL NO. You Americans are not far that important as you think.
No offense, but that was very, very uncalled for. I mean, really. There was absolutely no grounds for that comment at all. I was very offended by that comment. You were warned once about saying degrading things about Americans before, and you're trying for another one? Seriously, come on, you're smarter than that. You're also stereotyping and generalizing, making it seem like every American thinks he or she is better than everyone else, and that isn't the case in the slightest. It's stereotypical people like you who make Americans look bad. I could care less if you don't like the country, but don't generalize and make it seem like every single American thinks that way. Jesus Christ. And no, the world wouldn't be the same if "millions of Americans died" because the US is a huge portion of the world's economy. kthnxbye

^ Has a point, but I can see what Will meant with generalizing. I mean, I don't think America's the greatest country in the world, and I live in it, that proves her statement wrong right there.
I don't appreciate the fact that she generalized the entire American public like that. It's ridiculous and didn't even have anything to do with the topic at all. I don't care if she hates the country; don't you dare come in and knock on my door and call me stuck-up when you know nothing about me and the way I view life. Just because one person is that way does not in the slightest mean that I am.
Actualy I looked into this and if the volcano blew it wouldn't just take out half of America,It would take out every other country that has a volcano on it.The structure of the plates beneath the volcano are what is know as a 'destructive plate boundary' meaning that the plates are moving away from each other which sometimes causes volcanic eruptions,however the plates are above a corse of connected mantle,connecting different volcanoes throughout the world (not all but more than 2 thirds) and if the pressure of the mantle is pushed along with the plate then this volcanoe is gonna blow.It could also create more volcanoes as the mantle pushes up through the earths crust.If this thing blows then we could have a global crisis!
wow. thats why we all should move to mars. or the moon. then we wont have to worry. *gets out of his own world* holy sh*t a volcano
i heard about this on discovery something or other and it scared the #### outta me. i think it is true, they have all kinds of evidence and stuff to back it up, but i dont care as long as i am not alive to see it.
