Yellowstone volcano earthquake activity remains elevated

Yellowstone earthquake activity is currently at elevated levels compared with typical background activity, the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory reports in its monthly update for July 2017. During July 2017, the University of Utah Seismograph Stations, responsible for the operation and analysis of the Yellowstone Seismic Network, reports 528 earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone National Park (YNP) region. The largest event was a minor earthquake of magnitude 3.6 on

Well what's there to say it could blow tomorrow, or not for another ten thousand years . But , being aware helps one to be prepared and ready to bug out at the first signs of unsettling quakes taking place if that occurs.

It's overdue for a eruption; a big one

.
You could fit Tokyo, the world's biggest city, inYellowstone's super-volcanic crater. Three super-eruptions at Yellowstone appear to have occurred on a 600,000-700,000 year cycle starting 2.1 million years ago. The most recent took place 640,000 years ago – suggesting Yellowstone is overdue for an eruption.

Seismicity

During July 2017, the University of Utah Seismograph Stations, responsible for the operation and analysis of the Yellowstone Seismic Network, reports 528 earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone National Park (YNP) region. The largest event was a minor earthquake of magnitude 3.6 on July 18, at 02:31 PM MDT, located about nine miles north northeast of West Yellowstone, MT. The earthquake was reported felt in the town of West Yellowstone, MT. This earthquake is part of a continued energetic sequence of earthquakes in the same area that began on June 12.

July seismicity in Yellowstone was marked by the ongoing seismicity ~six miles north of West Yellowstone, MT where an energetic swarm added an additional 475 earthquakes in July to the 1028 earthquakes in June. The swarm includes the largest event of the month on July 18 (magnitude 3.6). Swarm activity for July consists of two earthquakes in the magnitude 3 range and 40 earthquakes in the magnitude 2 range. Including the events from last month beginning on June 12, total swarm seismicity includes one earthquake of magnitude 4.4, seven in the magnitude 3 range, and 112 earthquakes in the magnitude 2 range.

Earthquake sequences like these are common and account for roughly 50% of the total seismicity in the Yellowstone region.

Yellowstone earthquake activity is currently at elevated levels compared with typical background activity.


Ground deformation

Monitored locations within the Yellowstone Caldera show minimal change this month. Uplift north of the caldera, centered near the Norris Geyser Basin continues at a low rate. Behavior is similar to the past several months. Current deformation patterns at Yellowstone remain within historical norms.

If and when this happens, then the food belt of the US will be affected for very long time and many people around the world and US will starve. Where will you go, there is no place you can hide. Prepare with what?

Prepare with food you can buy now and store it. Is one thing. Protecting it etc , etc then again if the super volcano blew there isn't much we could do .

Just a speculation of what could happen.

No point of real concern. The epicenter of this is in the mountain ridge of the leftovers of the last eruption, forming a circular ring of mountains.

And is probably just a settling or shifting of sub-mantle material. That is not to say that all if fine there. There are constant minor tremors there and a gradual bulging. The magma pool down below there is inexorably pushing upwards, and based upon the last three eruptions, the next one is actually OVERDUE. It WILL happen eventually, unless it can hold off long enough that the crustal plate can move the Idaho Rockies over the hot spot where the crust ought to be stronger and thicker. But if Yellowstone blows again, folks will have much more to worry about than whether or not Trump fudged numbers on his tax return.

Better than liberals who use Al Gore for their doomsday predictions of 10 years, or is it 100 years, or 1000 years?

No, I'd say they are both equally bullshit sources.
