Summary

The Yellowstone National Park caldera is experiencing "uplifting" for the first time in years, as reported by IFLScience. Advanced technology is being utilized to monitor this mysterious ground shift. Additionally, the Yellowstone supervolcano has caused 73 small earthquakes in the past month, according to K2 Radio. A worst-case scenario simulation indicates that an eruption could result in widespread ash distribution across the U.S., obscuring sunlight, disrupting power grids, and potentially leading to years of global winter, as noted by CPG Click Petróleo e Gás.
