Any one been paying attention to studies on when Yosemite will erupt. Some theories say it will wipe out North America in some shape or fashion. Some say it is time for this to happen. Anyone know if this is supposed to be a joke or just usual supposition by people with nothing else to do? Thanks. Maybe they mean Yellowstone. Who knows.

Yellowstone is on top of a Super Volcano that is almost 200 miles across. If it erupts, they expect 8+ feet of rock to blanket an area that will extend to cover over half of South Dakota, clear down to Denver. Massive.

Just google Super Volcano's.

Ive heard theory that says that if that whole area goes off it could bring
on an ice age as the sun will be blocked out for a long time. I think its a global event even as opposed to just a regional event, although regionally
the effects would be catasrophic.

I watched a show while back on the whole ring of fire and the NW US theorys.

maybe Cali will slide on off and it will be vented into the ocean
