It might, yes. But even if it didn't, the nukes would erupt from our silos before yours landed anyway, so we could then see the true boiling point of bangers and mash....

No one knows. The simple truth is like any volcano predicting an eruption is immensly difficult. It is the goal of all vulcanologists to be able to accurately predict when a volcano will erupt as this would save lives and money. With Yellowstone being a supervolcano and possibly able to bring an end to life as we know it being able to predict if it is about to erupt would be valuable as it could give humanity time to adjust and prepare for the big changes it would bring. According to research Yellowstone is due for an eruption, having last erupted about 650,000 years ago. The evidence suggests it should erupt roughly once every 600,000 years. So it is a little overdue. A BBC Factumentary a little while ago propesed that the effect on the US would be astonishing. Within 20 miles there would be 95% fatality, even as far away as Washington DC there could be a 50% fatality rate. As for the rest of the planet, the eruption would put so much dust and gas into the upper atmosphere the global climate would be dramatically changed, possibly irreversably for humanity, into a prolonged iceage. It is now thought that while the asteroid was the killer blow it was another igneous event, the Deccan Trap Continental Flood Basalts, that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and others. So it isn't hard to believe Yellowstone could wipe humanity out. But we are adaptable, which is our biggest survival trait, so we might just make it.

In answer to your question:not bloody likely. The magma pocket is deep enough to withstand any known nuke unless the USGS would allow you to bury the thing a few thousand meters down.
BUT what a concept- start a war and trigger a super volcano that could put the whole world into an ice age and destroy civilization all in one shot.
Might I suggest that you find a more constructive use for your creativity?

Doubt it, but it would be fun watching the Tower of London land in Outer Mongolia from the response.

No, but if the yanks reaction to the demolition of the Trade Towers is anything to go by WW£ would start and they would as usual overreact and throw all the toys out of the pram.

If you would like to see Cornwall again, don't do it. We might take out your vacation home in Wales as well.
