Film Analysis: The Yellowtone Volcano

Decent Essays
If Yellowstone erupted it would be horrible because thousands of people would die, and the thing that it affects is the ash because it will be bad for you to breath that air. Also an other bad thing is that the ash is really heavy and it will the roof of the house will collapse as we saw in the the movie six inches or more of ash will make your roof collapse. Also almost half of million people died in the movie and at the end of the movie the Yellowstone volcano caused an ice age. I think if actually erupted less people would die because in the movie the specialist did not let the people know that it was going to erupt so it absolutely did not give them time to evacuate

    If the Yellowstone volcano never erupted then it is because Yellowstone has behaved like it has for the past 140 years, there is very high odds that the volcano will never erupt because of the fact that volcanoes do die out (Plumer). The volcano could be the least of our worries if it never erupted but because of the path of the magma chamber, there is a possibility of a new volcano. The volcano’s magma chamber is said to be shifting in a northeastern direction that will eventually make the volcano die out.(Plumer) Some of the scientists like Christy Till that are concerned about the Yellowstone volcano made a new study where the volcano’s past history was combined with new techniques that will make like a countdown clock for the eruption of the volcano. This technique can be used to calculate the timescale between reheating and eruption of the magma chamber (Stopwatch).…
