Scientists: Humanity has a year left before the super eruption of a volcano

Ученые: Человечеству остался год  до суперизвержения вулканаAbout the impending eruption of the volcano, scientists will be able to learn for a year until the accident. This is indicated by recent studies by volcanologists in Eastern California.

By microscopic analysis of quartz crystals at the eruption site in Eastern California, scientists have identified changes that occur shortly before a critical activity.

The samples were taken in the crater of an ancient SUPERVOLCANO. His last activity is assumed about 760 thousand years ago. Specialists-volcanologists from Vanderbilt University proved that the process of decompression, giving to the eruption of power, starts no less than a year before the eruption. Based on the collected information, it is possible to predict the onset of the disaster and to prepare protective measures. Now additional studies of samples of magmatic bodies.

What changes in them can give scientists a more accurate timing of activity of the volcano. According to the generally accepted theory, that is the eruption wiped out the Land dinosaurs millions of years ago.
