Part 7/10:
Today, volcanoes like Yellowstone Park harbor subterranean magma chambers capable of generating supereruptions. Yellowstone’s geysers and geothermal activity are surface expressions of this underlying magma system, which, if it were to erupt on a super-scale, could have devastating worldwide consequences, halting human civilization as we know it.
While the likelihood of such an eruption happening imminently is low, the potential impact warrants serious preparedness. The key to facing this threat does not lie solely in trying to prevent the eruption—something beyond current capability—but in organizing societal resilience.
