Disclaimer: I'm no Danish teaching expert, I just happen to be an Icelander who was forced to learn Danish as my second language - and although I always got very good grades in Danish, I was never good in Danish: can't speak it, can't understand a Dane - I can maybe read it a little bit...
University of Utah geology and geophysics professor Fan-Chi Lin said the blob-shaped lower magma reservoir in Earth's lower crust is located 12 to 28 miles (20-45 km) under Yellowstone, with a volume of 11,500 cubic miles (46,000 cubic km), or 11.2 times the volume of Arizona's Grand Canyon.
Yellowstone is a geological smoking gun that illustrates how violent the Earth can be. One event overshadows all others: Some 640,000 years ago, an area many miles square at what is now the center of the park suddenly exploded.In minutes the landscape was devastated.ellowstone, however, is much more than hot ground and gushing steam. Located astride the Continental Divide, most of the park occupies a high plateau surrounded by mountains and drained by several rivers.
