(Note:
The
following
is
an
attempt,
based
on
research,
to
imagine
what
might
happen
if
the
Yellowstone
super
volcano
erupts.
Though
there
are
other
possibilities,
including
smaller
or
partial
releases
of
magma
from
within
the
earth,
this
takes
a
look
at
the
most
dreaded
possibility:
a
full
eruption
like
the
one
that
occurred
630,000
years
ago.
Some
say
that
we
are
overdue
for
such
an
eruption.)
