I'm terrible when it comes to geography but I enjoy reading National Geographic, and I read in the latest issue that Yellow Stone National Park is one of the largest supervolcanoes in the world.
It's active, and its decision to spit its wrath of super hot lava upon us is unknown and debatable.
An eruption obviously cannot accurately be pinpointed, though scientists doubt an eruption will happen anytime soon.
Depending on how devastating, an eruption from this supervolcano may affect the whole planet and many of us would probably not survive.
Many species could become extinct and the drastic climate change could last years, affecting crops and animals, which would dramatically impact the food chain in a most negative way.
Those surviving such a catastrophe would be challenged just to live for many years.
It would change our world and planet forever as we know it.
Yellow Stone National Park is absolutely beautiful, and it is amazing to try and comprehend how it was created.
Although other beautiful creations of nature came about in such a way, it absolutely fascinates me that our earth seems to be a constant sphere of wonder and change.
As interesting as one may find this information, it is definitely something one does not really wish to dwell upon, since it is quite unsettling.
We can't do anything about the fact there may one day be an eruption from this supervolcano, and most of us can't run or hide, so we'll do the next best thing and just won't think about it.
