"Scientists Acknowledge Unpreparedness for Catastrophic Yellowstone Supervolcano Eruption"

Scientists studying the Yellowstone supervolcano admit that despite advancements in understanding its magma chamber reservoir, the world is not prepared for the potential devastation of an eruption. The last eruption occurred approximately 640,000 years ago, and the average time between eruptions is around 660,000 years. The volcano's size and complexity make it highly unpredictable, and geologists warn that natural systems can throw unexpected curveballs. While there are currently no signs of an imminent eruption, intense seismic activity would likely be the first indicator. Small eruptions are more common, but a supervolcano eruption is inevitable in the future.
