黄石公园的火山系统更为复杂,因为有多个室和过去的喷发,风险向东转移到怀俄明州科迪。 Yellowstone’s volcanic system is more complex with multiple chambers and past eruptions, shifting risk eastward toward Cody, Wyoming.

来自蒙大拿州立大学的新研究显示,黄石公园的火山系统比先前想象的复杂得多,有多个岩浆室和以前未知的火山爆发。 New research from Montana State University reveals Yellowstone’s volcanic system is more complex than previously thought, with multiple magma chambers and previously unknown eruptions. 6年多的实地工作发现杰克逊Rhyolite山系列的爆炸活动,并显示631 000年前拉瓦溪爆发了多阶段的火山爆发。 Fieldwork over six years uncovered explosive activity in the Mount Jackson Rhyolite Series and showed the Lava Creek eruption 631,000 years ago occurred in multiple phases. 调查结果显示,未来的火山爆发更有可能是局部性的,比人们所担心的要少一些灾难性的,由于板块移动,活动向东转移,对科迪、怀俄明等地区的潜在风险增加。 The findings suggest future eruptions are more likely to be localized and less catastrophic than feared, with activity shifting eastward due to plate movement, increasing potential risk to areas like Cody, Wyoming. 科学家们说,更新后的理解有助于改进长期的危害评估。 Scientists say the updated understanding improves long-term hazard assessment.
