On December 26th from now there has been over 500 small earthquakes in the Yellowstone National Park. Under the park there is a super volcano. A super volcano is ten times worse as a normal volcano if the super volcano would erupt it could kill every one on the earth or states and contents close to it. That is how powerful hat volcano is. Scientist think that a super volcano killed dinosaurs because they found their bones and they had this bacteria on it that the volcano gives of and that is one of the reasons they thought that dinosaurs was killed from it and they know that the volcano can kill a lot of people because they found another dinosaur that had the same bacteria on it so that is why they know that this volcano is big and will harm a lot of people.The Yellowstone park is located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. The volcano hasn't erupted in millions of years so people don't know when the volcano will exploded but what they do know it can be any time soon or another million years.In my opinion I think that they have to keep a close watch and monitor the earthquakes closely and make sure that the earthquakes aren't dangerous and just make sure and tell every one what is happening just to keep everyone updated.
