What are the chances of the Yellowstone volcano in the United States erupting? Researchers want to interpret early warning signals and predict an eruption that, if it occurs, would cause true global devastation. It would be a race against time: Using modern measurement techniques, scientists want to interpret the volcano's early warning signals, understand the Earth's internal processes and predict an eruption. In this way, affected areas could be evacuated in time. Over the past 2.1 million years, the volcano has erupted three times - the last time around 600,000 years ago - and, if we go by the time since then, it could happen again soon. #dwdocumentary #documentary #dwdocs ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
