Yellowstone Park Volcano Set To Erupt Wiping Out 2/3 Of U.S.

[The_Patriot21]

Patriot...your article is good don't get me wrong , it is from from the site...Truth or Fiction.com...

All other articles on the web are naming it the Volcano or SuperVolcano in Yellowstone Park and scientist are watching it closely.

It has already caused earthquakes in which some volcanos usually do . Plus, the earth is lifting up due to the enormous amount of heat...and this volcano

will probably blow .They can't determine when ...not yet. But , they do have equiptment monitoring this thing.

My thoughts are ...if there is an earthquake near this volcano... it surely will be the worst of all bombs put together that man made on earth.

volcanos arnt the only things that cause earthquakes-if there is an underground lake down there and its filling, it to would cause seismic activity. As far as the "heat" is concerned, none of the magma pots have shown any real increase in temperature at all-least nothing to show there is an "eruption" If it is simply hydrothermal activity, as in theres an underground lake down below the surface, and cracks in the earths crust are allowing heat from the earths core up and is heating the underground lake-combined with the pressure from all the ground above (pressure creates heat) this to, would create seismic activity, and if more water is added into an already full lake, its got to make room, causing the "raise" and even minute temperature increases. People are assuming the only thing that can heat that water is an underground volcano-and thats it, an assumption. There are some evidence that there was indeed a volcano there in the past-that doesnt mean theres on there now. Their making an educated guess, nothing more nothing less.

And as far as earthquakes near this "volcano" There have been several, including a fairly major one in 1959, and one not to far back can't remember the exact date-that was bad enough to make Old faithful not so faithful anymore. So, if you think an earthquake could set the volcano off-theres only 2 conclusions to come to, 1 is your incorrect, an earthquake cannot set off this "volcano" or 2, also being your incorrect, there is no volcano.

Patriot ...those are my thoughts about an earthquake could set this volcano to blow.

If it is not a volcano...then let the National Geographic know that , they are wrong. I am just relaying the info they give out. LOL

Umm...I thought the magma activity of the volcano causes the earthquakes - not the earthquakes that cause the eruption.

the fact is love songs, yellowstone has experienced several earthquakes-and has not "set off" you all are missing my point. and Nebula hits a key point, earthquakes don't set off volcanos anyway-magma does, it builds to much pressure for the rock to contain it, and out it goes. Im not saying necessarily that its not a volcano, Im saying national geographic, (who has a wonderful track record of speaking the truth I might add, you know, kinda like politicians) and other science agencies, don't actually know. They are taking a working theory-keyword here is theory-and presenting it as fact, when it is only theory. If your familiar with proper scientific process, then you know theory is not fact, and it annoys me, when scientists go through, and present "theory" as fact when it is not, and I think people should learn the difference themselves.

Oh...yeah...well good to know about National geographic.

But, if there is an earthquake...the earth splits ...it would split the volcano.

love songs, earthquakes don't cause volcanic eruptions, if anything, volcanic eruptions cause the earthquakes. thats science, a volcanic eruption happens when magma pushes its way up to the surface. When it pushes, it either melts, or pushes whatever in its way out of its way, which causes earthquakes. In fact, if an earthquake were to actually precent the eruption, it would actually be benefical, because it would simply allow the lava to flow out, instead of blowing out, and be a very mild, if any, eruption.

On the same note, water building beneath the surface, will also cause earthquakes, and other seismic activity. Magmas not the only substance that can do this. You displace anything with something else, then the original substance has to move. We do it in eastern wyoming and North dakota all the time to get oil-its called fracing. We pump thousands, sometimes millions of gallons of water underground, which creates minor underground earthquakes, which breaks up the rock and releases the oil so we can pump it out.

Aren't earthquakes caused by the earths plates that rub together. There are earthquakes where there are no volcanos...

Oh...well.. we can learn more of all this...as news will bring it out.

thank you ...bro. ...I like science .

Mt St Helens was caused by a quake. An earthquake set off a landslide which triggered the explosion.

[The_Patriot21]

the question is jade, did the earthquake actually set it off, or did the magma under the surface cause the quake, and then the eruption? It all goes back to, if magma is going up, it has to displace something, and when it displaces stuff, it can cause earthquakes-which is why many people think there is a volcano under Yellowstone, they think magma is rising up and pushing the earth, causing earthquakes. What their not taking into consideration is water can do the same thing.

Aren't earthquakes caused by the earths plates that rub together.....

Yes, the movement of earth's plates cause earthquakes - whether rubbing together, pushing into each other, or pulling about.

However, an upheaval of underground material an also cause an earthquake. Think of what a mole does to the ground above it as it tunnels through the dirt. Magma moving upward, or water (as Patriot is pointing out), can do the same thing but on a much larger scale.
