Would the Eruption Kill Everyone on Earth? |
The answer to this myth is no it will not kill everyone on earth if the volcano does erupt. Scientist will be able to detect volcanic activity in advance and evacuate people if needed. There will be huge issues caused by the volcano but it won't cause a mass extinction of the human population. Countries in the western hemisphere will barely be affected by the eruption of the volcano (Haugan 2012).

Yellowstone typically experiences between 1,000-3,000 earthquakes a year caused by the faults associated with the volcano (National Park Service 2016).
