The basin is named for the unusual biscuit-like deposits that used to surround Sapphire Pool, according to the park's website. Following the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake, Sapphire Pool erupted, and the "biscuits" were blown away. It last erupted in 1991.

!ifrickinglovescience !physics it's still fun to speculate what would happen if it erupted like it did 640,000 years ago. Most of our burger dramanauts would die and the eruption would bring global temperatures down for decades due to atmospheric dimming.

Ash thickness distribution. @C333 can you ping the burgers?

That much volcanic ash is capable of killing people, plants, and animals and crushing buildings. Even a few inches of ash (which is what much of the country can get) can destroy farms, clog roadways, cause serious respiratory problems, block sewer lines, and even short out transformers. Air travel would have to shut down across much of North America.

If I'm reading that right, it's about 1cm of thickness here.

I dunno man, my roof seems to withstand quite a lot more snow than that, and snow is pretty heavy too.

I might actually need to mask tho lmao :marseyvaxmaxx:

What is the volume of the Great Salt Lake versus the Atlantic ocean?

Further, what is the freezing point of water in relation to purity?

The Great Salt Lake is much more salty and more filled with organic matter than any ocean.

The Great Salt Lake will never freeze.

The actual calculation involves things like the number of bonds and mols dissolved, but here:

Given that Salt Lake City has seen lows as far as -34C (about the same in F), the Great Salt Lake can plausibly freeze. BTW, that Dead Sea figure is approximately as far as it can go; you basically can't dissolve more salt into water than that.
