re: 2 Earthquakes Detected Near Old Faithful Yellowstone

Yellowstone has 700 - 3000 earthquakes on average. Only two in one day is a slow day.

No.

shite fittin ta git real.

That wasn’t no earthquake. I was just kicking your mama out of bed.

I’m in Bozeman. If Yellowstone goes, I’ll grab a beer and bring a chair up on the roof to watch the fireworks, because there isn’t much point in doing anything else. We’d be dead in minutes.

You need to be more worried about Ranier, St. Helens and Shasta. They are the 3 top CONUS US volcano threats.

2 Earthquakes Detected Near Old Faithful Yellowstone

I can't add much to what has been said but I'll try. Yellowstone is a continental hotspot. The volcano is huge. In early research scientists were looking for an obvious crater but in fact the caldera dwarfs the size of volcanos such as Mt Ranier, St. Helens etc. Being a continental rather than oceanic crust hotspot such as Hawaii and Iceland the eruptions are explosive and eject massive volumes of superheated ash and gas as opposed to the relatively calm and behaved eruptions in Hawaii. So when it blows it's going to mess stuff up beyond what you can imagine. And anyone living living in that part of Wyoming and Montana will be in trouble. Now with such a large volcano, I'm surprised the epicenter of the quake was under Old Faithful. Sounds like a popcorn fart to me.

there are earthquakes there all the time

Doesn’t Yellowstone Park average about 100 earthquakes a month?

But how is this caused by climate change?...

Greta finna be pissed
