Last week there were several thousands earthquakes at Yellowstone park. According to scientist, 650 thousands years ago, there was a powerful super volcano eruption at Yellowstone with Vulcanic Eruption Index (VEI) of 8. The latest similar eruption occured more than 73 thousands years ago at Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia and almost make human being extinct. Only less than 10 thousands people survived the global disaster and climate change.

Fortunately according to USGS scientist, the super volcano eruption at Yellowstone today is unlikely.

What will happen if there is a super volcano eruption at Yellowstone this year, or 2010, or 2011 or 2012?
