	<htmltext>One thing this new extended magma body explains is the vigorous eruptions in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craters\_of\_the\_Moon\_National\_Monument\_and\_Preserve" title="wikipedia.org">Craters of the Moon</a> [wikipedia.org] region in central Idaho. This is a series of basalt eruptions over the past 14,000 or so years. What's significant about them is that basalt is very hot magma. It demonstrates some sort of relatively quick outlet for hot magma below. Given that the magma plume flattens to the west as it nears the continental crust, these series of eruptions are now explainable as being convenient exits near the western end of the magma plume.<br> <br>

I wonder if such eruptions help to vent pressure from the underlying magma body postponing a eruption or contrarily are indications of building pressure in the underlying magma body that will only be released with a supervolcano eruption.</htmltext>

	<title>Controlled release actually not that implausible</title>

	<htmltext>I'm not very qualified to talk about this branch of science, but to further the controlled release idea that's been suggested by many users:

Most responses have denied it as a possible solution due to the huge depths that these plumes reach. Some people are making a hidden assumption that you'd have to drill to the bottom of the plume. I don't know why.

Secondly, from Wikipedia: "Supervolcanoes can occur when magma in the Earth rises into the crust from a hotspot but is unable to break through the crust. Pressure builds in a large and growing magma pool until the crust is unable to contain the pressure." and from the earth's crust article "the oceanic crust is 5 km (3 mi) to 10 km (6 mi) thick[1] and is composed primarily of basalt, diabase, and gabbro. The continental crust is typically from 30 km (20 mi) to 50 km (30 mi) thick, and is mostly composed of slightly less dense rocks than those of the oceanic crust."

So, actually, I forget what the quoted number was for the furthest we can currently drill, but with at least a little bit of research it doesn't seem that implausible. Further, just thinking about it a little bit, precipitating a super-eruption by doing this might actually be a real concern but I think it depends on many factors: hole size, number of simultaneous holes, and composition of the plume.

If there's anybody that's actually qualified to give advice on this topic, please feel free to correct me.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Well, first of all the only events that you listed which could potentially make the human race extinct is the meteor(ite) and gamma ray burst. All of the other ones will have major consequences but aren't going to destroy human life on the planet.
<br> <br>
the Yellowstone volcano is fascinating; it hasn't exploded for 640000 years and, perhaps coincidentally, it normally erupts every...640000 years. So we're due for another one at anytime. It's pretty scary to think about except that it could be off by 10-20 thousand years. So it could blow up tomorrow (it's already showing warning signs) or it could be another 10000 years. That's about twice as long as all recorded human history which means we'll have plenty of time to "become spacefaring people".
<br> <br>
A large enough impact event could certainly destroy life as we know it. The last one was 65 million years ago (ok, it's up to debate if the K-T was because of a meteorite, but let's say it is for the sake of argument). There is a huge span of time between these events. In fact, it's such a large amount of time hardly anyone can really comprehend how long that really is.
<br> <br>
As for a grb, well, the chances of one originating close enough to us and being pointed in our direction are also very very low. They estimate we should get one once every billion years or so. Again, that is a long time.
<br> <br>
So really, what is the point of living in fear? It may happen tomorrow and we don't have time to do anything about it anyways. In this case hiding in your basement isn't really going to help and neither is any amount of money we spend on space travel. It's more likely that something as monumental as this is going to hit us anywhere between the next 10000 to tens of millions of years from now. Space travel IS advancing, albeit slowly when compared to a normal human lifespan. In 10000 years, though? I think we'll get off the planet in time.</htmltext>

<sentencetext>Well, first of all the only events that you listed which could potentially make the human race extinct is the meteor(ite) and gamma ray burst.
All of the other ones will have major consequences but aren't going to destroy human life on the planet.
the Yellowstone volcano is fascinating; it hasn't exploded for 640000 years and, perhaps coincidentally, it normally erupts every...640000 years.
So we're due for another one at anytime.
It's pretty scary to think about except that it could be off by 10-20 thousand years.
So it could blow up tomorrow (it's already showing warning signs) or it could be another 10000 years.
That's about twice as long as all recorded human history which means we'll have plenty of time to "become spacefaring people".
A large enough impact event could certainly destroy life as we know it.

	<htmltext>I did my undergrad approximately an hour from Yellowstone...the big buzz in 2003 was a 100 foot tall "bulge" under Yellowstone Lake.  This was dismissed as a not-issue since it was geothermal activity, not volcanic activity.

While this finding is volcanic in nature, it hardly makes much of a difference as far as the public safety is concerned.  As the article points out, the real mystery lies in the region between 10 and 50 miles below the surface...this has yet to be modeled.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>To be fair, most of the things you mentioned would not be extinction level events -- it would take quite a bit to fully extinguish humanity from this planet -- we have more knowledge and technology to help us survive than any other species in history. We can build underground bunkers powered by nuclear reactors and grow plants by the soft glow of UV lamps, for instance. For humans to become extinct, something will have to hit us really hard and really fast. I do agree with your main thesis though -- we need to get our asses into space while we still have the chance. In any of these cases, we would, at best lose hundreds to thousands of years of potential progress. If we had kept up the momentum we had in the 1960's, <i>2001</i> would have been a pretty accurate depiction of the year in question, methinks. It's a pity, really.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Even if you managed to drill directly into the magma chamber and create a path for magma to escape, it wouldn't be particularly successful at reducing the risk.  According to our current understanding of supervolcanoes, the stuff making up the majority of the chamber is very viscous and with a high gas content - it WILL erupt explosively.  If you're lucky, the drill would only produce a St. Helens sized eruption and then stop.  That wouldn't take a very significant amount of energy out of the system though.
<br> <br>
Trapped at the bottom of the chamber is very hot and less explosive felsic magma that is coming up from the hotspot below and feeding the whole system with energy.  Again assuming the possibility of such a drill, you might be able to drain some of this off from systems outside of the actual caldera (so you don't have the rest of the explosive magma chamber in the way).  Super volcanoes tend to do this on their own periodically; it creates massive plains of flood basalt - and as far as I know, still doesn't reduce the changes of a super eruption.</htmltext>

A balloon is great at holding air in it until you pop it with a pin and it explodes.
Creating a controlled hole, in the Earth's crust, like the opening on the end of a balloon, is beyond our capabilities.
I'd rather set off every nuke in the world - the explosion would only be a fraction (1/10th) of what Yellowstone has been known to produce.
Now, maybe if the hot spot wasn't hundreds of miles and covered vast chunks of multiple states... or maybe if Yellowstone's previous eruptions hadn't carved a valley into the Rockies big enough to fit most of the Appalachian Mountains in... then maybe it might be feasible.</sentencetext>
