Yellowstone Earthquakes

The University of Utah operates a seismic network in Yellowstone National Park in conjunction with the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. These three institutions are partners in the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. Seismic data from Yellowstone are transmitted to the University in real-time by radio and satellite links from a network of 28 seismographs in the Yellowstone area and are available on the web (source: James Pethoukoukis)

Much of Yellowstone is a giant collapsed volcano. Geologists call this a caldera. In recent years, geologists believe the caldera to be rising. The reason is that new fractures have occurred and new springs have come about. Scientists think that the magma is coming closer to the surface or that it is becoming more pressurized. In any case, there must be additional pressures to create new fractures in the mantle.

Geologists believe Yellowstone will erupt again and that it may be a huge eruption that could effect much of the western United States.

Yellowstone is a national treasure and it makes it something fun to study. Scientists are not predicting anything happening any time soon. There are not enough earthquakes, escaping volcanic gases, or mountainous rock movement to warrant an alarm. However, we must note that Geologists haven't been able to reliably predict very accurately these types of events. (works cited: Scientific American)
