yellowstone-volcano34It’s been noticed by visitors to Yellow Stone National park that park animals seem to be fleeing the caldera area.  This coincides with a recent 4.8 earthquake in the same location.  Scientists have warned that a super volcano lies beneath a large dish shaped depression and that should it ever erupt the United States would be facing a catastrophe far beyond anything we’ve seen in human history.

A super volcano has the potential to blanket the earth’s upper atmosphere in ash, causing similar to the effects that scientists say wiped out the dinosaurs following a large asteroid strike.
