Whats going on at yellowstone?

Hawkins is right.....
We need to get some of our eggs out of this basket.
Spreading out over a number of planets would definately help increase our chances of continued existence...

Thanks, you actually may have posted it before, my bad. Probably overlooked it without a picture.

Its better with the pic actually in the post anyway.

OKay, I am obviously not asking clearly Let me try again...

The black lines cover from :01 - :15 of an hour
the next color from :16 - :30, next :31 - :45 and last :46 - :00

from what I understand this is the "regular" seismograph of the tremor activity. How would a person deduce the Harmonic tremors from this graph? It does not have a separate set of readings for Harmonic Tremors.

OMG! This Site Tells more about the Magma bubble, and the potential area of *gulp* total devestation.

Just click the "Start Animation" button and watch the time lapse

WOW, you've got to wait right up till the end and then it's like a small fireworks display. There's been A LOT of earthquakes right in that little spot.

I just spoke to my daughter who is a Geologist. She stated that some of her Professor`s have been entailed in this anomoly!

Interesting.

I tried to get more out of her but she was going to Costco. Rats.

hmmm i think i don't get it.
if i scroll down to the bottom i see a ruler 1 to 15.
between 0-1 there are 6 markers and also between 1 and 2 and so on.
so you have a scale of 10 seconds.

right, but how do you get the harmonic tremors data from that?

That's the question I have. I don't think you can, but no one is saying that either.

ETA: another quake

M 2.6, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming on Mon, Dec 29 6:36 PM (CST)

Fresh new earthquake, whose info is automatically generated on seismograph data, so it's subject to change when a scientist will review it:

2.4 2008/12/29 17:36:39 44.510N 110.384W 0.2 60 km (37 mi) ESE of West Yellowstone, MT

and another one 19:52

I think that it has already been reviewed and changed, because it first registered as a 2.8 (on seis.utah.edu).

I've been following this thread from the first page with interest.
Even though I live in the UK the effects of it occuring will be devastating the world over.
Here is some information admittedly stated throughout the thread but I have put here as with the thread getting longer,some may skip by some of that already mentioned.

BBC - Horizon ... Supervolcanoes ...

Hidden deep beneath the Earth's surface lie one of the most destructive and yet least-understood natural phenomena in the world - supervolcanoes. Only a handful exist in the world but when one erupts it will be unlike any volcano we have ever witnessed. The explosion will be heard around the world. The sky will darken, black rain will fall, and the Earth will be plunged into the equivalent of a nuclear winter.

Normal volcanoes are formed by a column of magma - molten rock - rising from deep within the Earth, erupting on the surface, and hardening in layers down the sides. This forms the familiar cone shaped mountain we associate with volcanoes. Supervolcanoes, however, begin life when magma rises from the mantle to create a boiling reservoir in the Earth's crust. This chamber increases to an enormous size, building up colossal pressure until it finally erupts.

The last supervolcano to erupt was Toba 74,000 years ago in Sumatra. Ten thousand times bigger than Mt St Helens, it created a global catastrophe dramatically affecting life on Earth. Scientists know that another one is due - they just don't know when... or where.

In my writting I did have it as is seen now but on changing from shouting the supervolcanoes part,I missed in replacing it.
I am glad that you did respond so I could correct this.

Im' From the UK.

I just found out a couple of days ago, about something thats supposed to happen in 2012, wether its fact of fiction, nobody knows. Google 2012 and study. Its supposed to be a cataclysmic avent due to a 12 th planet that supposedly comes flying through our solar system every 3600 years, and may be bigger than jupiter. Th results of this would be Volcanic eruptions, tsunami's, fires, just really bad things that would wipe most of life on earth away. Scientist believe tell tale signes would be increased volcanic activities, among other things.

I am telling you all this as a friend, and bringing it forward to make people aware of it. NASA has put a 'secret' telescope in Antartica, just to study this planet, which is called Nibiru/Planet X which, supposedly is only viewable in the southern hemisphere at this moment. If this event does come more and more possible as the 2012 approaches, 21 December 2012 to be exact, then the best thing to do, would be to run. This is something that is found in the Mayan calander, which is more accurate than our current day calander, and even crop circles which have been found, all over the world, even point to this event. People say, the people in the sky are watching over us, and waiting, and will make themselves known to everybody at this date. Maybe even to ferry us to a secure location in the galexy?(my thoughts) Who knows. I dont want to sound nasty, but it sounds quite exciting, that such an avent could happen, and may happen. But, maybe you must be cruel to be kind. In my mind, if the general population is going to keep increasing, then that would lead to the death of the world anyway, so, in my opinion you must take life to make life. the next 4 years or more maybe very exciting to some, and not to others. This will not be discussed by any Goverment, or space agencies, as that could lead to mass panic on a global scale. Rumours are heard that goverments are even building deep underground base's for the 'important' people, and vaults for earth species, for their survival, just in case the prophecy does come true.

It does sound far fetched, but what made me post here, is in one of the first posts, cant remember what the poster said, but, i do remember him/her saying something between the dates 2010 and 2012(the date), thats why i am posting here.

To understand better the actual depth (hypocenter) of the last 78 earthquakes, I've made a graph in excel:

It appears that most of them occurred at a depth of 2.0-2.5 Kilometers. Is it where there's the Yellowstone caldera magma chamber?

[edit on 2008/12/29 by Shirakawa]

Do you guys think that if this pattern keeps up for the next few days, that the super volcano might "awaken"??

The associated press just updated about 20 minutes ago with this...

"CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Yellowstone National Park was jostled by a host of small earthquakes for a third straight day Monday, and scientists watched closely to see whether the more than 250 tremors were a sign of something bigger to come. Swarms of small earthquakes happen frequently in Yellowstone, but it's very unusual for so many earthquakes to happen over several days, said Robert Smith, a professor of geophysics at the University of Utah.

"They're certainly not normal," Smith said. "We haven't had earthquakes in this energy or extent in many years."

There was a decent sized one on the seismograph about 25 minutes ago, but it is yet to show up on eitherr the USGS or UofU websites. It was nearly as big as the 2.4 that occored 30 minutes prior. Why? Maybe just not "verified" by a seismologist yet?

This is going on for days and now even the images directly from the station also slowing down on updating.
My guess is not all the quakes are reported.
