Im suprised people dont pay more attention to it, being that this thing will be our doom. Most experts agree that it is overdue to blow up(could happen by the time Im done writing this) and when it does humanity will most likely die out. Within a thousand miles of the park, everything will be simply gone. What follows is even worse, the ash will block out the sun and then it is high time to say goodbye.

-Be wary of the earth, for when it angers you will know power.-


or something like that...

Saw a program on it last spring.....and the ash will drift east...
And I will die!!!!.......

And yet no European country will adopt me..

Live your life, or fear your death; the choice is yours.

I was there over the summer...pretty damn cool place.

It could be our doom though, no guarantee it will be. It could continue to be dormant forever.

Believe me I dont worry about these things at all, just gathering everyone elses reaction.

In that case, maybe your next thread should be about how people feel about the sky falling on their heads...

The sky can't fall on your head....come on now, it's just air.

Did you just say that your head is full of air?

Sweet.

I saw A Discovery Channel Dramatic Scientific Special about it (or whatever)

Worst case scenario is all of Europe and South America Survives

yes and we should also worry about the meteors that will crush the planet! so cried chicken little..............................


yeah there was a program on this actually I can say from experience when MT ST Helens exploded its affects were felt everywhere volcanic ash 4-5 inches deep and everything pretty much shut down! I have pictures of it blowing up wahoo if that volcano was true I don't doubt the affects of ash and debri affects either.......

You stole some of my thunder you basterd.

they could just do what anchorage does and vent the tectonic gasses through exhaust tubes shaped like totem poles around the park, thus preventing an eruption.

I'm safe

There are natural hot springs and vents and such all over the park.

Seriously, that place is really cool.

You know I saw the program about this super-volcano a couple months ago on the national geographic or learning channel. It's pretty crazy.
Know what's funny? Why the h3ll isn't our government spending at least 1 billion dollars to look into this?
This volcano has the potential to kill all mammal life on earth..so let's try to find out how to make a tinnier ipod. Or let's worry about abortion as much as we do. Sorry.

That's probably a good idea, actually. Do you know if there are is anything similar to that being doing in Yosemite?

Let's be real.

You honestly think that there would be something that dangerous on our planet WITHOUT anybody having it under control? Come on, a little common sense.

-AC

UH No it does not have the potential to wipe out life on this planet.

The only thing that came close to that was the Putorana plume eruption about 250 million years ago that wiped out 75% of land vertebrates and 90% of ocean life.

There were humans( well lesser evolved) around when the last eruption occured. Dont you think that WE could certainly prepare and weather out the effects of the NEXT eruption??!??!?!?!?!!?

I went there as a kid and really like it. Some of the geysers are amazing

this is what it boils down to, the more gas you vent, the less pressure. this means that by venting the volcanic gas constantly through vents plus the natural springs, earth lights etc. we could severely reduce the severity of a future eruption or even delay or prevent an eruption.

umm, you do know that the gases being vented from the park isn't actually from the magma pocket. Its from other shallower sources.

if they created a channel to the magma surely that would initiate an eruption

yep most definitely!!!!!!!

how so?

14 days
9 hours
59 minutes
2 seconds

till it blows and we see our demise.

I just love static posts, those times will never change Volcana is pwnd

the magma chamber is highly pressurised, it's sitting there waiting for an escape route.

and there isn't a controlled way to relieve the pressure?

NO

and leave the volcano be.

I watched the program last night again. AND we have a 100,000 year window that the volcano can erupt in,. CALM THE FOCK down everyone. sheesh.

Everyone back to your computers!

^ That's an ugly cat!!..

Hey! That looks like my cat...who's ugly.

Today's sig is courtesy of a KMC guest sig creator.

I like the frog though...

And you own a cat like that???? HAHAHAHAHA.....sorry

My cat's got a tiny brain and doesn't respond too well to complex things.

Like your new sig, Debs. I guess you're not Dreamin' anymore?

Yea yea, the world is going to end and humans are going to spontaneously combust/burn from lava/etc. Heard it all before.

they might survive the blast, but how many do you think would survive if there is no sunlight for 10 to 15 years.

no such luck. it as created by a upwelling of magma which continues to pour into the chamber. eventually it will be too much for the earth above it and will cause it to shift, opening a crack the surface. once that happens, it will be all out in 4 to 5 days, much of it going high into the atmosphere.

actually that is not correct. its not likely, but it could drop the temperature low enough that the thermal runaway point would be breached. if that happens, the planet will continue to freeze until the pacific ocean freezes at the equator. at that point, nothing under the ocean could get air, and nothing above it could get unfrozen water. the only thing that would survive would be the single cell plant life in the ocean.

oh damn..........and I was worried about this mosquito in my house that's driving me nuts......

UMMMMM thats not correct

the oceans can never freeze at the equator while we still have an active mantle/core.

A lot of the heat we get come from the interior of the planet. Yes we get some heat from the sun, but not alll our heat. The planet's heat will not let SOOO much water freeze. There will be an equilibirum point.
