Yellowstone volcano: 20-mile eruption warning as 'huge chunks of rocks' could 'crush' publ - Express

The Yellowstone volcano, also called the Yellowstone Caldera, is the supervolcano located in Yellowstone National Park in the US.

It is one of 20 known ‘supervolcanoes’ — a volcano that has had an eruption with a Volcanic Explosivity Index of eight.

He said: "It would cause severe disruption.

He said: "Because these larger eruptions tend to also have a lot of warning signs, we would be able to evacuate people or majority of people, but we're talking about massive scale evacuation across the Mountain West region of the U.S.

And if someone happens to be within 10 to 20 miles of either caldera, he said that "blocks of rocks that are maybe the size of a car" could “crush” them

He said: "Getting crushed by these rocks that start falling from, you know, two or three miles up in the sky

But while scientists still closely monitor Yellowstone for any signs that it is preparing to explode, but it thought that any eruption in the next 10,000 years is highly unlikely
