According to some sources, the Yellowstone volcano erupts approximately every 600,000 years. The last eruption was 640,000 years ago, so one might conclude that an eruption is iminent. Other sources claim that there we need not fear an eruption for the next several thousand years. Go figure. Personally, I believe it will be sooner, rather than later. But just when is anybody's guess. I wouldn't start a betting pool on the date. However, if you follow all the apocalyptic forecasts, we're looking at 2012-13 as a likely time.

Yellowstone park does not have a volcano it has a caldera, the remits of a volcano. But it is a hot spot with magma just beneath the surface it may erupt if the pressure builds up then it may become a cone volcano once more or it may become like Kilauea. But in any case it can erupt at any time.

Yellowstone is a heat Spot volcano, like Hawaii. The reservoir of molten rock you're speaking approximately is full of magma (lava). All probably lively volcanoes have this. The source of heat is the Earth's mantle, now not uranium. it extremely is unquestionably achieveable to stay with this heat temperature to generate electric potential. You pipe water underground, enable the nice and comfortable floor boil the water and use the steam to instruct a generator. it quite is cautioned as "Geothermal skill" and it extremely is already in use on the Geysers in California. It won't ensue in Yellowstone because of the reality it extremely is a helpful nationwide Monument. regulation prohibits it. end of tale. Sorry... we don't have the technologies to alleviate the warmth temperature or rigidity from a volcano. it extremely is in simple terms extremely achieveable shall we drill into the magma chamber, yet the two the hollow might desire to basically approximately immediately plug itself or, greater advantageous probable, the drill bit might desire to soften till now it reached that some distance. distinctive risk, of path, is that pressurized magma might desire to shoot decrease back up interior the process the drill hollow and you have began an eruption. now not rather!
