Forget the FLU....DATA SHOWS America about to EXPLODE!!!!

[toobfreak]

Obama caused this!

How so?

It is the base republican response for anything that goes wrong.

I see you missed the Soros fan club meeting!!!

Can you just imagine the outrage if TRUMP fist-bumped some kid? Maybe a Boy Scout? The furor would be on every front page! Every talk show!

tRump could not fist bump anyone as he is to stupid.

You mean like idiots who don't understand the difference between to, too, and two?

• An area at the center of the Norris Geyser Basin was found to inflate and deflate
• Experts have determined a intrusion of magma under the surface is to blame
• Magma became trapped at the top and pushed the rocks up above it
• The magma has since receded, putting the pulsating on pause for now
  
  
  
  
  An area the size of Chicago in Yellowstone National Park has been inflating and deflating by several inches over the past decade
  
  The Norris Geyser Basin, the oldest, hottest and most dynamic thermal area in the park, was observed to rise 5.9 inches each year from 2013 to 2015 - an unusual event that left researchers baffled.
  
  Now, using satellite radar and GPS data, experts have determined the ground deformation was caused by magma intrusions trapped below the basin's surface.
  
  As magma made its way to the surface, the pressure pushed rocks above it up and created an erratic pulsating effect, according to National Geographic.
  
  This is the first time the scientific community has been able to track an entire episode of magma intrusion, which they say is a common occurrence throughout Yellowstone.

This is a minor case of indigestion for Yellowstone. Yes, the government will tell you when there is a major eruption about to occur because it will be OBVIOUS. When the entire region begins to rise (called Regional Tumescence) then, you have cause to worry. And it won't be rising by mere inches. The entire Yellowstone region will rise hundreds of feet before the eruption (called a Giant Caldera Eruption) occurs.

But when it does happen in 10,000 years or so, all life downwind will perish.

LOL...

I remember the scrambling in Yellowstone in 1994-1998 when the whole region rose 3' in the period of just 7 months.. There was some serious pucker factor going on back then...

If the upper chamber is the one filling it will be an explosive event. Its a matter of which magma is causing the pressures. If its filling with rhyolitic magma it will be explosive. One need only look at the geological record to see these events.

Posts 30 and 31 have the information you seek.

Why would the upper chamber be "filling with rhyolitic magma"? ... The rhyolite is what the Rocky Mountains are made of, as you pointed out above, it's this material that is melting and mixing with the basaltic magma coming up from below ... we won't see a purely rhyolite eruption nor the explosiveness associated with this material ... granted, it won't run out like Hawai'i does ... rather somewhere in between ... something contained within the park most likely ...

I have to agree with Westwall above ... today we stand on the collapsed roof of the magma chamber, if this is filling up and then this roof will be being pushed upwards, not inches but hundreds of feet, perhaps thousands of feet ... and the explosiveness of the eruption depends on how big this chamber gets while it fills ...

We'll have 10,000 years warning ...

ETA: Mt St Helens grew at a rate of 3 to 10 feet an hour during the 1980-86 dome building eruption ... {Cite} from USGS ...

Tell that to those at YVO. Robert Smith of the UofU and the folks at YVO were damn scared in 1996 when the caldera rose some 3 feet in a matter of a month. If the chamber began filling rapidly we could have little more than a weeks warning, if were lucky.

Yes, but our level of knowledge is significantly greater now. Also, they were no doubt hoping for a major influx of cash with their grant proposals.

While I'm not ready to believe YS is about to blow I'm also not ready to believe our government would warn us about it.

An imminent eruption of the Yellowstone caldera would end life on this planet as we know it.

And No, no government would say a word about it. There is no way to prepare and the effects would be global with a potential loss of 90-95% of the existing global populace inside three years.

The main eruption will kill millions but the nuclear winter will freeze crops and lower the global temp by 4-8 degrees C. Starvation and death will come quickly in the Northern Hemisphere and the southern will become cold within a year. A new ice age will start and no one will be able to stop it.

I bet Richard Burr would quickly sell off his stock though.

This is a very interesting video on the subject. For those who don't want to watch, I'll recap. Not only is Yellowstone not about to blow. Not only are these movements perfectly normal. But if Yellowstone would go off vulcanologists would know months or even years in advance. A volcanic eruption of that magnitude would leave clear unmistakable signs.
