aftershocks over ‘THOUSANDS of years

A YELLOWSTONE volcano eruption in the northwest corner of the US could trigger a deadly chain of eruptions and aftershocks tens of thousands of years after the first blast, a shocking study has found.

“It is the magmatic equivalent to aftershocks following an earthquake.”
When Toba last reared its ugly head, the volcano released 28,000-times more magma than the 1980 eruption on Mount St Helens in the US.
The resulting volcanic winter is believed to have lasted for years and scientists speculate it placed a bottleneck on human evolution.
Worse yet, supervolcanoes like Yellowstone and Toba have incredibly long lifespans – far longer than humanity has been on the planet.
