Super Volcano

What is under Yellow Stone?  Is Yellow Stone the only super volcano.  What is a
VIE 8?  What does all of this have to do with Plate Tectonics?  How do you think that the US would be effected if there were a super erruption?
What did you think of the video?

Well it's easy to tell that there is ground water, (hense the gysers)
but i have no idea how the watter heats up or shoots out of the ground to an extreme. maybe there is a magma chamber that is heating the water up and then pressuring it to come up, under yellowstone.
I think i would like to look more into that.

In the movie it said that there was a huge chamber (I can't put my finger on the name at this moment, something like a cala-something)
shaped like a caldron that held lots of magma that was under yellowstone. In the video it said that they could fit the whole city of tokyo in there + some! so that would deffinatly be a huge problem!

A VIE 8 is just a sientific term for a super volcano.

This all eventually relates back to plate tectonics. When Plate Tectonics cause earthquakes to set of a chain reaction of events, for example...
~ could cause a canyon
~ could form cone shape of volcano
~ could repture a magma chamber ( like what happened in the movie
"supervolcanoes"
~could cause a tsunami ( when an earthquake happens under water)

If there was a super volcano in the USA the whole world would be devistated. There would be cut offs of major trade routs, political allies, we would have to depend on other countries ( more than we do now!!!!) to get us back up... and I have a big feeling that most aren't going to want to put up with us, even though about 90% of our population would be inialated!

All and all, i thought the video was pretty cool. I was actually on the edge of my seat most of the time, but I enjoyed how they used the element of suprise! :)

yellow stone is sitting on top of one of the most active volcanoes in the entire world.VIE means volcanoe explosivity index, and ranks volcanoes based on how much lava and ash are released from the volcanoe. the plate tectonics under yellow stone slide at about 1 inch per year, causing the yellow stone hot spot to create a string of caldreas that can be 350 miles long. an explosion would cover 40 miles around the area with hundreds of feet of lava. nearby towns would be completely wiped out. a great deal of the western area of the united states would be covered in ash, places closest to the eruption in nearly 20 ft. i loved the video. i love science fiction, plus the fact that the video told us that someday an eruption could actually happen.

Luke said...

Under yellowstone there is the worlds largest magma chamber, capable of a VIE 8, or, super eruption. Even though it isn't the only supervolcano, an eruption would cripple the US of A kill a buncha people. It has to do with plate tectonics b/c the plates formed the magma chamber. I thought the first 15 minutes were informative, but the rest were unnessasary.

ReddingtonDavid said...

Under Yellow Stone is the largest active volcano in the world and is known as a supervolcano
a VIE 8 is the largest kind of explosion
If there was a supereruption, the whole us would have to evacuate
the video was awesome and it would be fun to watch those types of movies more.

Yellowstone Park sits on top of subterranean chamber of molten rock. No, it's not the only super volcano in the world but it is the largest. A VIE 8 is a super eruption.
I think if we had a super eruption it was really effect us economically.


I thought that the video was really cool. I mean it made me think about what would happen if it really did happen.

Moehring,DeeAnna said...

A Super volcanoe is under Yellowstone.

In the video it said there are more Super Volcanoes around the Earth so i dont think yellowstone its the only super volcanoe.

A VIE 8 is a Super Eruption.
The volcanoe did not erupt the first time. The eruption happened by plate tectonics. (the volcanoe was a 6.9)

The U.S would be affected by haveing a super volcanoe by it would be pretty much like the movie, hundreds of thousands people died, ash clouds causing us not to be able to breathe, More people rescued then people died.

I thought the video was very educational and it was very fun to watch !

LaGrangeBonnie said...

Under Yellowstone is a large volcano. Yellowstone isn't the only super. Mt. St. Helena and Mount Vesuvius had super eruptions in the past. A VIE is describing the size of a volcano, a VIE 8 is a super volcano. All this has to do with plate tectonics because plate tectonics are what make volcanoes erupt because the pieces of the crust have rose up and so the bottom of the volcano or mountain is connected to the mantle and it erupts. The US would be affected in many ways. It would depend on where this super volcano occured how severe the affects would be. If it were at Yellowstone like the video we watched suggests many people would be trapped without food and water, people wouldn't be able to exit the country, many near Yellowstone would be killed, many would be injured, stores would close, and everything would be out of control. I thought the video was very interesting, but it was also scary because if something like this were to happen I don't think we'd be as prepared as we should be.

Lamping Ally said...

A Super Volcanoe is located under Yellow Stone.
No supposedly their are more around the Earth.
A VIE 8 is a super erruption.
The Volcanoe didnt errupt the first time.The erruption was caused by plate tetonics. (it was a 6.9)
I would imagine it to be just like the movie.Ash clouds would cover the U.S blocking the sun for a long time which would kill our plants,and Kill 100 hundreds of people located by the volcanoe and people breathing in the ash making a concrete in their lungs.
I really enjoyed whatching the movie, although it made me very scared and worried whatching it. I still thought it was a good movie.

Schirmer,Brandon said...

UNDER YELLOWSTONE IS A CALDERA. yellow stone is not the only super volcanoe. A VIE 8 means a super eruption. The US will be covered with ash and will kill the wildlife and people will either be bured alive in ash, inhale the ash and die from the ash creating a cement like material in your lungs or people will survive by staying inside and possibly staying safe. I thought that the video was informational but i also did not like the video.

Moehring,DeeAnna said...

@David Reddington
i agree the video was awesome and we should watch more...!

Mauricio,Courtney said...

Under Yellow stone is a very heated chamber of lava/magma, this is probably what heats the water AKA geyser.

As far as I know, Yellow stone is the only super volcano, but im sure many more could be made, it would take time to build up the lava under ground for another super volcano to form.

A VIE 8 is a technical/scientific term for super volcano, this is used to rank the ferocity of eruptions, to know whether or not it is dangerous and how dangerous.

When the plat techtonics move and cause earthquakes it can cause;
-tsunami(AKA an earthquake underwater)
-A canyon to form or change shape
-A magma chamber to rupture and cause an eruption AKA super eruption.
-Or a cone shaped volcano

I think the US would break into a paniced chaos casing many roads and facilities to shut down/close off, and the government would be paniced but would pretend to be calm and have things under control.

I like the video, I thought it was interesting but not your ordinary factual video, it had an amazing conflict and climax, it had lots of action and tense moments that made my heart race, I LOVED IT!!!

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@ Ally I agree I enjoyed watching the movie, but it made me worry too. I wouldn't want what happened in the movie to happen in real life that would be really sad and scary.

Peters,Jennifer said...

Under Yellow Stone lies the most terrifying, largest volcano ever. It is known as the "sleeping dragon" because if it were to erupt it would be a super volcano.
No Yellow Stone is not the only super volcano, there is one super volcano that erupted. Many people were killed from this volcano eruption. The volcanoes name was Mt.Helena. There might be another in Greece, this one covered the city in molten ash.This volcano was called Mt.Vesuvius.
It is a scientific term also known as a super volcano. It is called a VIE 8 because 8 is the measurement and it is the biggest the scientissts have ever seen, so VIE 8 is just a scientific term for a super volcano.
This has to do with plate tectonics because when the two plates cross and create friction between them it causes earthquakes and believe it or not volcano eruptions. So when the plates hit the earth shook and the volcano erupted causing the super eruption.
The US would be having problems. Since we have such a largely populated state and cities, if we had a super eruption, I'm sorry to say not all of us would make it out safely. A super eruption would also make everyone focus on it, making the government stop working on whatever we were working on. US would go into total chaos and no one, not even the police would be able to stop people. If it got really extreme then some parts of the US could be buried under layers of molten rock and ash.
I thought this video was very interesting because it opens our eyes to what could happen. I also liked all the facts the video gave us about the volcano under Yellow Stone. Even though this could never happen, it is very interesting to think about. Just not too much thought because that's scary!

Mauricio,Courtney said...

@ Lauren
I agree Id want to look into super volcanoes and volcanoes in general! And I agree about the movie too, it was intense and made me want to scream, but it was also informational, without being boring!!!! LOVED IT

Savard, Samantha said...

The volcanoe is under yellowstone is one of the most largest volcanoes and is organic molten rock is the cambers of the myserious "Sleeping Dragon".
There is another super volcanoe in the US called Mt.St. Helena.
A VI8 is a sign they use to determine a super volcanoe.
This super volcanoe has to do with plate tectonics because when the plate tectonics hit the earth it is known to cause earthquakes and a slight chance of a volcanic eruption, which is what happened the plate tonics set off the eruption.
If a super volcanoe was to happen in the US then it would be beyond chaos and every single person would be struggling to get out of the country and since we have so many people in the US then it would be almost immposible to get everybody out.
I really liked the video and it was good

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

Yellow stone sits on top one of the largest active volcano on earth. Yellow stone is not the only super volcano. A VIE 8 is another name for a super eroption. When plate tectonics shift it may cause earthquakes making the magma move causing it to erupt. I think all of it would be covered in ash and alot of people would die. My aunt thinks that we all would die. I loved the video i thought it was great.

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

@julia i loved it to i thought it was really god and provided greatt information

Peters,Jennifer said...

@Bonnie
I thought this movie was very intersesting too! I think if we had a super eruption life would be different forever and everyone would be miserable.

Savard, Samantha said...

@Jen
I Do agree with you the video was interesting and an open eye for what could be happeningin the future but i sure hope nothing even close to this ever happens!

Under Yellow Stone is a chamber of molten rock. Yellow Stone is not the only super volcano. VIE 8 is a super eruption. This has to do with Plate Tectonics because the plates move away from each other and there is magma under them and then a eruption happens. I think the US would be effected by a super volcano by being trapped. Also i think by some people would go insaine because they wouldnt have any power. I thought that the video was interesting at how people can survive through a volcano.

ReddingtonDavid said...

@ mackezie
yeah it would hurt us econimically but it would mostly hurt us because we will have nowhere to go

Henson,Megan said...

Yellow Stone sits on top one of the largest active volcano on earth.
No, it is not the only super volcano. Mt. Sain Helens is also a super volcano.
A VIE 8 is a super eruption.
It all has to do with plate stechtonics because it can cause magma chamber to rubturecausing a super eruption and it could also cause a canyon, could form a cone shape volcano, and a tsunami.
If there was a super eruption, the US would be in total chaos.
I thought the movie was good, and interesting, but I wouldn't like to go through one, because it would be really scary

Henson,Megan said...

@ Abby Rembold:
I agree, it is interesting how people can survive during a volcano eruption, but I wonder how hard it was for the people.

apperently there is only a few in the world.

the largest active volcanoes on earth is under yellow stone national park. a VIE is a super volcano.the us would be covered and so would the rest of the world. i thought it was depressing at the end cause alot of people died.

schatzman.arin said...

Underneath of Yellow Stone is one of the largest active volcanoes.Yellow Stone is not the super volcanoe.A VIE 8 is a super eruption.If the plates shift it will most likely cause an earthquake and unsettle the magma and cause an eruption,possibly the super eruption.If there was a super eruption the U.S. would be covered in ash and hundreds of thousnds would die.I thought the video was okay, it did take up 2 or 3 classes.

kallmeyer, bridget said...

A magma chamber that holds enughf lava to create a supper eruption, is under Yellow Stone.
Yellow Stone is no the only supper volcano.
A VIE 8 is a meshurement used to represent a Supper Volcano.
When the plate tectonics move they open the magma chamberand cause an eruption.
If there was a supper eruption the U.S. would bsicly be gone, since the ash would cover almost the whole countery. No one would be able to live in it.
I think it was a very good vidio.It also tought more about volcanos.

Kresser Jacob said...

under yellow stone is a bulging pile of magma gausers are created by pressure being realesed from the magma and eventully the crust will colapese and a massave volcano will be release and from studys it will strech to the eastern seaboard with ash

schatzman.arin said...

@david

Yeah it would be a lot fun to watch those types of movies more,I wish that we wouldn't have to take notes though.As a side note it would also be awsome if each of them used up 3 classes.

bekah said...

under yellow stone is the most active volcano in the world called a super erruption. VIE is one of the most explocive valo=canoes if this happedns the world would have to evacuate. all of it goes back to plate tectonics causing valcanoes and more. if there was a super erruption the US would be damaged bad and we would have to evacuate. I think the video was really cool cause we learned what might happen.

stalbaum,lauren said...

@ julia

Even thought their is a magma chamber under yellow stone, in your personal opinion do you think that it will erupt any time soon?

hutson,cody said...

under yellowstone there is a magma chamber. No. a Vi8 is a super eruption. Volcanos are sometimes started by movement of the plates which is plate etechtonics. Yes the US would be effected by a supereruption. Lastly, I thought that the movie was a bit preditable.

Garvey, Emily said...

hutson,cody said...

@kresser Jacob


You didnt say anything about what you thought of the movie

Unknown said...

Magma chamber.No.Very big eruption.Sometimes earthquakes are caused by plates moving instead of volcanoes.Most if not all of the west would be covered.The video was fun we should do more things like it.

Garvey, Emily said...

@ Lauren,
I think it will!! :(

Gerdes,Austin said...

under yellow stone nationol park is a load of magma. yellow stone is not the only super volcano. VIE 8 is the strangth of a super volcanic erruption.the plate tech tonice is what made the volcano wich ties it into the originol purpose. the us would be greatly affected bye a super erruption, its likely that america would be unusable and americans would half to find a new country to live in, overall i think the video was good. it would have been better if there was true footage of a super erruption

Anonymous said...

There is a magma chamber that is very active under YellowStone. YellowStone is not the only volcano in the world. A VIE 8 is what a supervolcano is in the tecnical way. They move causing an earthquake that will cause a supereruption. The US would be affected terribly because everyone would be fighting over resources.

Smith,Courtney said...

Under yellow stone is a terrifying volcano. If the volcano were to errupt it would be calld a "super volcano".
Yellow stone is not the only super volcano. There has been one that has erupted and it killed thousands of people. its name was Mt. Helena.
A VIE 8 is just what a sicintific term sientist use for "super volcano".
All of this has to do with plate tenctionics becuase when two plates rub on each other An earthquake happens. Sometime this makes volcanoes errupt.
If there was a super erruption in the US, we would be greatly effected by the outcome. Not everyone would be safe and not everyone would make it out alive. the unted states would all be focusing on it and forgetting about whats important to them. I thought that the video was interesting and how it was made into how you felt like it was happening in real life sitution.

Sydney,Vest said...

Yellow Stone has the most active volcanos underneath it, where tourist can see many different volcanos. No, there are several supervolcanoes. Lake Taupo, North Island, New Zealand Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia. A VIE 8 is another way to say super volcano. This has alot to do with plate tectonics, when the plates hit each other or bump together it caused a massive expolsion. If there was a major explosion in the US there would be major panic. The US's crops would be really damaged and the ash fall would also hurt the crops. I think the video was very realistic and i learn alot. i really hope it never happens to anyone.

Smith,Courtney said...

@ jennifer peters

I also think that The police could stop the chaos But that doesn't mean that th goverment officals cant right or am i wrong?

brendanmarchetti said...

A magama chamber is under yellow sone thats what makes the gysers shoot up. Yellow stone isnt the only super volcano their are ones in japan and other contries.Vie stands for volcano explosity index and the number stands for the amount of ash and lava is realesed. plate tectonicts cause the volcanoes to eurript. If a super volcano errupited in the us there would be mass panic and ash wouldn spread across the entire us and cause many deaths. I liked the vidoe i thought it was fun

Tedesco.Jake said...

the largest active volcano in the world is under yellowstone. in the movie yellow stone is the only super volcano

A VIE 8 means a super volcano

if there was an earthquake the plates would move and cause the erruption maybe a super erruption

if the U.S. did have a super erruption we would be coverd in ash and a lot of people would die, and we couldnt go outside or else we would sufficate because of the ash

I thought the movie was good and i want to do stuff like that more offten

Sydney,Vest said...

i agree with lauren. Will it ever happen? when? where?

@Kaylee Sturwold
I do agree that if the super volcano erupted we wouold all die.
The movie was great an dI think my sister would love it.

gorrasi josh said...

under yellowstome is the largest volcano and know as a supervolcano.the VI8 is another term for super volcano. plate tectonics are basically what cause the volcano. we would be massivley effected if it happed because half he US would be in ash. i thought the video was frightening.

brendanmarchetti said...

@ david reddington i like those movies too i want to watch them more to

Tedesco.Jake said...

@schatzman.arin
yeah i wish we could watch movies like that more offten and i agree that we didnt take notes

Yellowstone is on top of one of the most active volcanos ever. no there are many different active volcanos we usally dont hear of there eruptions if not fatal.
vie8 is just another way to say SUPER VOLCANO! and to really no how much ash is realsed in the eruptions. when the plates brush against each other it creates friction. wow if an explosion would happen it would be a huge diaster!! espically with our econmy being so bad. our tax dollars would be out rages. the homeless shelters would be filled. we would be in a huge huge strungle. espically with family making sure its all about safety not money cost. i thought the video was very educational. and full of suspense. i think it really shows how it would play in the U.S. and how everyone would really be struggling for everything really. so i really do think thast video helped us learning.

A VIE8 is what is known as a supervolcano. when it erupts the ash spreads every wear and kills people if they breathe in the ash.

Riley, Olivia said...

yellow stone national park is sitting in one of the worlds largest magma chambers. VIE8 is just another way of saying super volcano, which is a very large eruption of a volcano. plate techtonics have alot to do with when a super volcano will erupt and how big it will be. i liked the video, i think we should watch more movies about science and technology

Tchase said...

Under yellow stone is tons of magma, that turns into lava when it hits the earths surface. No, yellow stone is not the only super volcano in the world but it's the biggest. A VIE 8 is a super volcano or eruption. This super volcano has to do with plate tectonics because when the plate tectonics hit the earth it is known to cause earthquakes and a slight chance of a volcanic eruption, which is what happened the plate tectonics set off the eruption. If the US had a super erruption we would breath in the ash or get burned my lava. It would kill alot of people. I liked the video. I thought it was informational and fun to watch.

Anonymous said...

Under yellow stone is magma if there is 10 times the magma then there is 1,000 times the eruption.Yellow Stone is not the only super volcano there is a few in the world. Vie 8 is a super eruption that is very harmfull. The U.S would be affected very badly if there were a super eruption it would kill many lives and kill are harvest so for the people that did survive they would badly need food and shelter.Plate tectonics is when the plates rubb together foring many types of eruptions that is lke what happened a yellow stone they had a super eruption. I liked the movie think we should do something like that again sometime!lyndsey roberto!

Henry Minning said...

A VIE 8 means a super volcanoe eruption. Under Yellow Stone, there is Cualdera, filled with magma, and it is 125 km large. When that erupts, pressure builds up, forming a vent(channel)and the magma flows up the vent, connecting to the volcanoe and then it erupts. Then the volcanoe erupts untill the cauldera is empty.
It was a good video If this happened to the us, i think it would be even worse than what the video showed.

Everything would either be damaged or ruined. almost the whole united states would be wiped out. i thought the video was very interesting. it taught me a lot about volcanoes.The movie had very good effects and all of it looked real.

Henry Minning said...

@ Mack Young
I agree, it would effect our economy very badly, and It would hurt the people, and possibly even the world.

bader,lindsay said...

under yellow stone there is a big volcano. vie means volcanoe exposivity index. the plate tectonices under yellow stone slide 1 inch every year causing yellow stone to create a hot spot. an explosion would cover over 40 miles with lava.

bader,lindsay said...

lauren i really agree with you

baxter bryan said...

The water supply being damaged.
Many people would die or be highly ingered.(*ect...)
I thought the video was great it was very discriptive and helped to my understanding of volcanos. I love watching videos in science because you always pick interesting an imfomative videos thank you for showing us that video I enjoyed it and i know others did as well as i look at these coments.

Andrew Ehrman said...

A huge lava chamber and a hot spot.
The largest as can be rank of an eruption. How the plates move can form volcanoes and cause eruptions. I think all the farming industries would be ruined because of the ash. I thoughtb the video was extremely interesting.

Andie said...

Under Yellowstone there is a chamber of molten rock and gasses. A VIE stands for Volcano Explosivity Index. The scale is from 0 to 8 so a VIE 8 is one of the worst eruptions. Yellowstone is not the only super volcano. Plate Tectonics are what makes a volcano erupt. If there was a super eruption there would be absolute chaos everywhere. It would kill tons of people, the ash could ruin the water, and no one could fly out with the ash clouds. I thought the video was very interesting and had a preview whats in store if Yellowstone does erupt soon.

johnson, allison said...

under yellowstone there is a super valcano. VIE8 stands for super valcano.( highly explosive). it has to do with plate tectonics because it could repture megma chamber and cause a tsunami. the US would be effected by it. it could cause the population to decress and it would cause no water supplies or no electricity. i thought the video was cool it kept me wondering whats going to happen next. it was also very intertaning becouse it could happen.

Zach "Hillshire" Viox said...

What is under Yellow Stone?Yellowstone National Park sits atop a subterranean chamber of molten rock and gasses so vast that the region, known for its geysers and grizzlies, is arguably one of the largest active volcanoes in the world.

Is Yellow Stone the only super volcano.No

What is a
VIE 8?A very large volcanoe.

What does all of this have to do with Plate Tectonics?The plates of the Earth move up and down over the birth of the caldera.

How do you think that the US would be effected if there were a super erruption?I believe that our government and global experience will change dramatically and shape a new world.

What did you think of the video?I believe it was okay. Not the best but not the worst.

alyssa weber said...

@Bridget
I enjoyed the video too.
Do you think there will be a super eruption while we are still alive;
personoly i have no idea. if you do what year do you guesstimate?

Natalie said...

Under Yellow Stone is a magma chamber. No, Yellow Stone is not the only super volcano. There is another one but the location is unknown. VIE 8 is a ranking of how large the volcano would be. A VIE 8eruption would hav 600 cubic miles of debris. Most of the world's active volcanoes are located along or near the boundaries between shifting plates and are called "plate-boundary" volcanoes. I think that many people would die and be without houses if there were a super eruption. Overall it would be a very tragic situation. I thought the video was pretty cool. My favorite part was when Rick Lieberman was in the army base.

Andie said...

@Andrew Ehrman
Is that all you think could be effected if Yellowstone erupted?

Andrew Ehrman said...

@Young,Mackenzie

It would also effect our food resouces by ruining and desroying the farms.

What is under Yellow Stone? subterranean chamber of molten rock and gasses
Is Yellow Stone the only super volcano? No the yellow Stone Super sister.
What is a VIE 8? higher the VEI number, the bigger and less frequent the eruptions. The VEI scale runs from zero to eight.
How do you think that the US would be effected if there were a super erruption? yess
What did you think of the video? It was infomational.

Natalie said...

@ Henry Minning

I agree, it would affect our economy very much. We would have barely any food because the ash would kill all of the crops and livestock. Not to mention a lot of the people who would be maintaining the crops would be dead.

@allison
i think itcould happen too; but i have no idea when i am a bit more nervus for the US but i know that if there really would be one they would inform us directly and imeadeatly for the sake of our country, then again i loved the video because i learned a lot, for example i learned not all magma erupts because it may be to viscous. what do you think on the matter?

Andrew Ehrman said...

@Andie

No I do not but I feel tha would be one of the worst concequinces Because it would cut off Food preduction so people that survive would starve because there would be little food preduction.

walter burkart said...

a large magma chamber. no. the worst kind of volcano. they us the earthquakes that the plates rubbing together cause to measure the chamber. i beliave that the us would go "belly up" for a will but when we get every thing rebuilt i think we would be fine. video was cool liked it alot.

I agree, we probably wouldn't be prepared. How could you prepare for something like that anyway! It would be an extremly tragic situation. I sure hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime!

John Dinger said...

under yellowstone there is a subterranean chamber of molten rock and gas considered to be the largest active volcano in the world. A vie 8 is a super eruption. The USA is widening which weakens the crust and can cause rocks deeper down to turn to magma. The earthquakes caused by plate tectonics can create volcanoes as well as usettle magma chambers causing them to erupt. The US would be covered in volcanic ash and milllions would die. Many may be trapped and yellowstone and nearby communities would be destroyed. there would be worldwide weather changes. I enjoyed the movie and how they put it into a sceniario basis.

Weisker,Kyle said...

One of the world's largest volcanoes is under Yellow Stone. No it is not because I beleive that Mount Visoovius was a Super volcano and still is. I can't remember what a VIE 8 is. When two plates touch there could be an eruption. Everry person in the United States would be in danger and I believe it would be similar to the affects on the video. I thought the video was incredible and it was varry suspenseful when the volcano erupted.

i've been reading alot of post that said that yellow stone is the only super volcanoe if u went to the link and read page 3 of whats under yellowstone u would see that there was an other super volcano in Toba, Indonesia that was a VEI 7 eruptin

There are other super volcanoes. i forgot to add it in my first post

the stuff under yellow stone is lava.
no yellow stone is not the only super Volcano there was mt st HELEN.
a vie 8 means there is a super eruption giong to happen.
it has to do with super volcanos because the yellow stone plates slode onces a year and cause yellow stone to be a hot spot.
it woundnt be affected that bad.
i thought the video was very cool.

johnson, allison said...

@ stalbaum lauren i was also wondering about what is going to happen next in the movie i thought it was also cool they used surprises.

@ brandon Schirmer

Not all people would be safe staying inside. Roofs could collapse and kill people. plus people could run out of supplies

Bader, Lucas said...

their is a volcano under yellow stone.
yellow stone is not onley supper vocano.
a VIE8 is a supper ereption
the us would be in egypt

I would imagine it to be just like the movie.Ash clouds would cover the U.S blocking the sun for a long time which would kill our plants,and Kill 100 hundreds of people located by the volcanoe and people breathing in the ash making a concrete in their lungs.
i didnt no that there was alot of earthqukes.

Under Yellow stone is a subterranean chamber of molten rock and gasses

No Yellow stone is not the only super volcanoe but it is the largest one.

VIE 8 is the biggest kind of explosion.

This has to do with plate techtonics because, Plate techtonics are the original reason of having earthquakes wich can cause things to shift underground and could cause shafts of lava. (Super Volcanoe)

The U.S would be effected by a super volcanoe becuase it would destroy everything in its path and would hurt the lives of many

I thought the video was good but I really do not think that a Super Volcanoe is going to erupt and kill of the planet...

yellow stone is one of the most active volcanos right now yellow stone is one of the largest i thought the video was r3eally cool because if it did happen we would o what to do

cirkovic, daniel said...

A large magma chamber is under Yellow Stone. No it's not the only super volcano. A VIE 8 is a measure of volcanic eruption which means there is a super eruption. Plate Tectonics created eruptions that trigger the volcanic eruption and create magma. The US would be majorly efected if the volcano erupted. Millions of people would die and it would take a long time to recover. I liked the video. It was very interesting.

rentz,monica said...

Under the yellow stone was a active volcanoe. Avie 8 means super eruption. This all has to do with plate tectonics because when they hit each other that cause'e earthquaks. If there was a super erruption i think that the us would be effected by the ash covering the buildings. The yellow stone was not the only super erruption but one of the largest.

I think the move was fun to whach and it was cool. It made me think what it would look like if it happen to use.

georgantonis,pete said...

@ david i think that the video was awesome to and i would whant to watch more videos like that

Hey me too. I was wondering what the c word thing was too. If you find out tell me,

Under Yellowstone is a large volcano. Yellowstone isn't the only super. Mt. St. Helena and Mount Vesuvius had super eruptions in the past. A VIE is describing the size of a volcano, a VIE 8 is a super volcano. All this has to do with plate tectonics because plate tectonics are what make volcanoes erupt because the pieces of the crust have rose up and so the bottom of the volcano or mountain is connected to the mantle and it erupts. The US would be affected in many ways. It would depend on where this super volcano occured how severe the affects would be. If it were at Yellowstone like the video we watched suggests many people would be trapped without food and water, people wouldn't be able to exit the country, many near Yellowstone would be killed, many would be injured, stores would close, and everything would be out of control. I thought the video was very interesting, but it was also scary because if something like this were to happen I don't think we'd be as prepared as we should be.

under yellowstone is a huge magma chanber. yellowstone is not the only one. a vie8 is a signe for supervalcono. plate titinics cause volacanos. we wold die. cool vid.
luckly i have 10 cans of canend bacon!

Calderon, Heidi said...

Their is ash and lots of magma under yellow stone.
No, their was 1 but it was a very long time ago.
VIE 8 is a sientific term for super volcano.
Their would be mass ash and smoke building into the airr making people not be able to hardly even breath.
It was very crazy and most of the bigg words that they were saying about the vocanoes i didnt really understand them that much.

Dupont, Noah said...

Under YellowStone there is a giant caldera of magma, 1500 square miles big. YellowStone is NOT the only super volcano, like Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia;Long Valley, California; Lake Taupo, New Zealand; Valles Caldera, New Mexico; Aira, Japan; Siberian Traps; Jupiter's Io. A VIE 8 is the scientific term for a super volcano. It has to do with plate tectonics because when earthquakes-plates moving together- happen it may trigger a volcano to erupt. Which both of those can trigger a super volcano to erupt. The US would be effected by the super euruption because all the ash would cloud the skies, causing crops to die, pollute the air, making it tougher to breathe, and kill many. It reminds me of what would happen if the moon had been knocked closer to the Earth. The video was cool at times, I just had trouble knowing what to write down as notes, because its hard to take notes during something that is basically a movie. Bill Nye isn't a movie, its more of an educational show, making it much easier to take notes during. They get to the point, while in movies, they don't, they stay vague.

wessels,kelsey said...

yellowstone sits on top of subterrane chamber of molten rock and gasses.no there are other super volcanoes on the earth.vie 8 means a scienctific term for super volcano.super volcanoes have to do with plate tectonics is that the plates form magma chamber. if there was a super eruption the us would go to panic because we wouldnt be papaerd.i think the movie was pretty good it was a little boring at som parts.

@zach"hillshier"viox
i agree zach the movie was oaky to the worst but not the best movie ive ever seen.

Reis, Elizabeth said...

Under yellowstone is one of the largest active volcanoes in the world.
Yellowstone is not the only super volcano.
A VIE 8 is a super eruption.
This has to do with Plate Tectonics because when the plates move it can cause an eruption.
The US would be effected because we would not be able to go outside, and a lot of people would die. A lot of US citizens would be living how they did in the video, barely any food or water and they couldn't live in their homes or they would trapped. A lot of places lost their electricity, too.
As for the video I think it was really good and interesting. I didn't really care for the ending though, but overall I liked it.

Thorp,Jayden said...

I am now terrified of volcanos that movie was scary when is it going to happend in our lives in our kids lives our grandkids lives I think we should all go to mexico now.

Raines,Katrina said...

satnding in the largest valcaon

when a valcano bubbles 12 feet it means its going to erupe

killed 3 chrildren and took 43 to the hospital with minor injers

if you add rain to the ash it could cave in the roof

VET8 mean super valcano

north, south,east and west adds up to 50 miles total

even a little eurpun can caues a super valcano

convinsted millions that the super valcaon was going to happen
it did not happen

red lava is this lave that is red it is slow moveing lave that destroyes in its iwn way.gray is this gasy soot that can go up to 50kl in the air

3/4 of the earth was coverd from the erouption

MooreKassidy said...

There a is a huge magma chamber underneath Yellow Stone. It is one of the largest volcanoe around. A Vie 8 is one big erruptoin. Plate tectonics are what makes the erruption happen. The face of the earth would probably br wiped off just like last time there was a super erruption. I thought the video was very interesting.

Thorp,Jayden said...

There is a super volcano under Yellow stone it is not the only super volcano in the world.

Reis, Elizabeth said...

@Lauren
I agree I was on the edge of my seat too. And I'm pretty sure they said that there is a magma chamber underneath Yellowstone. That's why the chain eruptions occured.

gaddis,breanna said...

there is under ground water but i dont know how it heats up.a vi 8 is a scientific way to say super volcanoe.The U.S would be affected by haveing a super volcanoe by it would be pretty much like the movie, hundreds of thousands people died, ash clouds causing us not to be able to breathe, More people rescued then people died.

Raines,Katrina said...

@ Lauren
I agree I want to look into super volcanoes and volcanoes in general! And I agree about the movie too, it was intense and made me want to scream, but it was also informational, without being boring!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT

Jenkins,Tom said...

@zach hillshire: the movie was 10000 times as good as twilight

Thorp,Jayden said...

@ DeeAnna
I dont think we should whach any more i mean it was sad and scary sad because the guy hasent seen his family in 4 months and scary because when he was in the office and he was coughing it sounded like they were going to die it looks to hot and scary.

Schmidt, Dominic said...

1.under yellow stone is fire.
2.no
3.a vie 8 is a code.
4.they have nothing to do with them.
5.they whould be mad
6. it was ok

Haden, Mark said...

A galcier is under.Vie 8 is a other name for super erruption.The video was awesome.

Anonymous said...

A super volcano is under yellow stone park. NO. VIE 8 is a super eroption. The plate tectonics created the mangma chamber below.I think it would devestate the US and destroy it all. I thought the first part was interesting and the rest was pointless because it might not happen the way it did in the movie.

Guthier Nick said...

Yellow Stone park is on top of arguably the most active volcano in the world. VIE means Volcano Explosivity Index which is also a super eruption, so if it's a VIE 8 it is the highest on the scale which is the biggest type of eruption. This all relates with plate tectonics because the plates collide to create the earthquake, which causes the volcano eruptions. The U.S would be effected by it just by how the people in the movie was, there would be ash everywhere, people dying, and everybody paniced and tereified. I thought the video was great and was a little emotional because it made me think about what would happen in real life and what we would do.

Hannah Graff! said...

Under Yellow Stone There Is The Worlds Largest Magma Chamber.
Its Not The Only Super Volcano, But If It Erupted It Would Be Devistating To The U.S.
A VIE 8 Is A Super Volcano.
It Has To Do With The Plate Tectonics Made The Magma Chamber.
If There Was A Super Volcano In The U.S I Think That It Would Ruin Alot Of The Food Production. I Also Think A Lot Of People Would Be Homeless. A Lot Of People Would Die And Familys Would Be Devistated. I Think It Would Send People Into Depression.

Its Not The Worst... But Its Not The Best...

Dupont, Noah said...

@Arin, Schatzmin
I agree it would be cool if it took that long, and we should watch more, just as long as they're more entertaining.

I also agree with many other people that it wasnt great, but it wasn't the worst. If its more entertaining I would be fine, but this was flat out boring at times. Its hard to take notes and learn when you're bored or not into it!

Guthier Nick said...

@moehring
i thought the video was great to. i liked how it waqsnt just put into them telling us but it was more like a real movie.

dacoda said...

i think that the one in yellowstone park is the only super volcanoe if it is lots of people will die that day if it ever happens lets hope not.]
:)

dacoda said...

@thorp,jayden
then what is the other super volcanoes

Calderon, Heidi said...

@David Redington
I agree also..... that video was really awesome and i want to also watch more of it..... it seemed very interesting to me i actually liked that video.

Anonymous said...

Josh parsons- I agree that the US would take mager damage from a super eroption and i think of what life would be like after the eroption.

Schwab,Izzy said...

one of the biggest magma chambers in the world.
no there are others around the world.
VIE means volcanoe explosivity index it ranks volcanoes based on how much lava and ash are released from the volcanoe.
eruptions are caused by earthquakes.
jease ummm... alot of death destruction and economy worse than it is now.

what did i think of the video? i am gonna be so paranoid! yah know i have nightmares now? thanks.

Anonymous said...

Yellow Stone Park is in Wyoming. it sits ontop of one of the largest volcanoes on earth! It contains RED HOTT molten rock and has odd mud spots. Vie 8 is a super valcano and it helps judge how big the volcano is goiong to be. It has to do with plate tectonicts is it sets a chain reaction. The US WOULD BE GONE EVERYBODY WOULD DIE! I loved the video! i could watch it again.

Anonymous said...

i thought that the video was good and i like learning about that topic because there is alot to learn about volcanoe's like how high some are or hwo much lava is in some and so many other stuff so i love the video

@Alyssa
I do not think there will be a super eruption while we are still alive. And i don`t think I would be able to guesstimate when the next one will be, if there ever is another one.

Under Yellow Stone is a chamber of molten rock.VIE 8 is a super eruption. This has to do with Plate Tectonics because the plates move away from each other.
