Heads Up! Large Ground Deformation at Yellowstone Volcano (Video)

A new map from the US Geological Survey shows how the ground around the Yellowstone caldera has deformed over the span of two years, as the quakes release uplift-causing pressure, allowing the ground to sink back down.

This activity is typically linked to changes in magma and gases deep below the surface.

See how the ground has deformed around the Yellowstone supervolcano, as experts reveal it’s now been hit by over 1,500 earthquakes this summer

By CHEYENNE MACDONALD FOR DAILYMAIL

  • Since the swarm began on June 12, there have been over 1,562 earthquakes
  • They’ve continued to monitor its activity, and largest so far was magnitude 4.4
  • The quakes release uplift-causing pressure, allowing ground to sink back down
  • Still, experts say the risk of an eruption remains low, with alert level at normal

As small earthquakes continue to rumble around the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming, scientists have revealed new evidence of the changes going on beneath the ground.

A new map from the US Geological Survey shows how the ground around the Yellowstone caldera has deformed over the span of two years, as the quakes release uplift-causing pressure, allowing the ground to sink back down.

This activity is typically linked to changes in magma and gases deep below the surface – but for now, the experts say there’s no cause for worry.

 

In the map above, a bulls-eye shaped section of uplift can be seen at the Norris Geyser Basin, where the ground has risen roughly 3 inches. And, an elliptical subsidence can be seen in the Yellowstone caldera, with the ground dropping about 1.2 inches

The map, created by USGS geophysicist Chuck Wicks uses data from June 2015 and July 2017 to show how the region around Yellowstone has changed.

In the map, the colourful rings show the changes in the ground’s elevation as seen by a radar satellite, according to USGS.

A bulls-eye shaped section of uplift can be seen at the Norris Geyser Basin, where the ground has risen roughly 3 inches.

And, an elliptical subsidence can be seen in the Yellowstone caldera, with the ground dropping about 1.2 inches.

Just 12-18 miles away, the summer 2017 earthquake storm is still underway, to the west of the Norris uplift.

And, it’s likely playing a role in the changes observed at the site. 

‘The uplift and subsidence is usually interpreted as due to addition or withdrawal of deep magma and related gases and water at depths 5 to 15 km (3 to 9 mi) beneath the ground,’ USGS explains.

‘This cycle of uplift and subsidence is common and seems tied to earthquake swarms; that is, swarms appear to release the pressure that caused the initial uplift, thus allowing the region to return to a period of subsidence.’

While it may seem alarming, the experts say this behaviour is common, and the locations are so far exhibiting minimal changes this month.

‘Behavior is similar to the past several months,’ USGS notes in a monthly update released last week.

‘Current deformation patterns at Yellowstone remain within historical norms.’

The earthquake storm has steadily persisted throughout the summer.

By August 2, the area had seen 1,562 events, with the largest magnitude of ML 4.4

Yellowstone National Park was hit by more than 1,200 earthquakes in the span of just a month, seismologists revealed earlier this summer.

In an update on the ongoing earthquake storm, which scientists have been monitoring since June 12, the researchers said they’d recorded 1,284 events by mid-July, with the largest being a magnitude 4.4

While the activity has spurred fears that the supervolcano could be gearing up to an eruption, the experts say the risk of such an event is low, and the alert level remains at ‘normal.’ 

The experts at the University of Utah #Seismograph Stations (UUSS) have been tracking the current swarm on the western edge of Yellowstone since June 12.

#Swarms of this kind are common in the area, they say, and make up roughly 50 percent of the seismic activity in the Yellowstone region.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED & PROTECTED?  

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

 Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

​​God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

 You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

 Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
