A large eruption from Yellowstone's supervolcano could have worldwide effects, including:
Ash: The ash could fall across Europe within 3–4 days, and up to a meter deep in Salt Lake City. Ash can kill and sicken people and animals, reduce sunlight, and trigger mudslides.
Climate: The eruption could inject large amounts of volcanic gases into the atmosphere, which could drastically affect the global climate for years to decades.
Transportation: Ash clouds could make it difficult for cars and helicopters to navigate, which could cause more destruction.
Buildings: 30 cm of dry ash could collapse a roof.
Water supplies: Ash could contaminate water supplies.
Crops: Ash could kill crops and other vegetation.
Machinery: Ash could clog machinery like air filters.
