Introduction: With the advancement of technology, humans can master more and more things. But the only thing that is beyond human control is nature, and humans can only predict the occurrence of natural disasters. Once a natural disaster occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable. Today we are talking about the most terrible kind of natural disaster, that is, volcanic eruptions. One of the largest supervolcanoes in the world is known as the "Yellowstone Volcano". Even known as the active volcano in big brother, its area reached more than eight thousand square kilometers, larger than some small countries. Once the Yellowstone volcano eruption, human beings are very likely, in danger.

Yellowstone is a sleeping volcano, located in the western region of the United States, Yellowstone Park, is the world's largest existing and most destructive volcano. Yellowstone's crater is up to 54.7 kilometers wide and 72.4 kilometers long, encompassing most of northwest Wyoming. This volcano contains large amounts of silica underground, and a portion of the gas that can explode is solidified in the magma layer. Once they meet, there is a high risk of a volcanic eruption.

More than two million years ago, the Yellowstone volcano had three eruptions, but scientists have also found a pattern from it. From two million one hundred thousand years ago, Yellowstone volcano every six hundred and fifty to seven hundred thousand years or so, there will be an eruption. During the second eruption, the Yellowstone volcano erupted material that covered nearly nine thousand square kilometers. To scientists' estimation, the Yellowstone volcano may erupt once every six hundred and fifty thousand years, and there is a high probability of future eruptions of the earth.

The internal geology of the Yellowstone volcano is not stable, and an eruption could occur at any time. Once the Yellowstone volcano has erupted, it is highly likely to trigger a huge disaster on a global scale. After the underlying magma is ejected into the atmosphere, the debris ejected can flood the United States, and more than five billion people will be affected by the eruption of Yellowstone, and even cause the death of living creatures within a thousand kilometers. And, the western part of the United States would be covered with extremely thick ash, even the far east would be affected by the ash.

Some scientists predict that 75 percent of the U.S. territory will be affected during the eruption. In five to seven days after the eruption, the ash will reach Asia and Europe. In addition, the impact of volcanic ash, the global average temperature will drop nearly ten degrees Celsius, the Earth will enter an ice age, the loss of sunlight, plants because they can not photosynthesize and die, followed by the death of a large number of animals, the Earth's ecosystem will be out of balance, human beings will not survive, the Earth will become a huge piece of ice in the vast universe, no more life.
