Whats going on at yellowstone?

reply to post by Robin Marks


Pump with faulty bearings nearby causing vibrations while running at constant speed or electronic interference causing a steady continuous tone. By using spectrum analysis it's clear that it's not natural:

Evenin' all...

Has anyone looked at the USGS map of N. America lately? There is nearly a perfect circle of quakes stretching from northern California, up through Idaho and Montana, down Colorado and Utah, and up and around Nevada. It looks very creepy in my opinion.

Good posts everyone.
Keeping up with this astronomical thread is great reading.
Robin, I noticed you in the post that you concerns lie because the latest swarm was located over the lake and that you are concerned that fractures will allow water into areas that could have the potential for some ...hmmm...well explosive results.

I am not saying your wrong, but if the outp[ut guages from YL are any indication there was a rise in outflow during the swarmm.
If water was leaking into the aquifer wouldn't there be a decrease in outlow?
Just curious.

Thanks

Yes Ace, i was just thinking the very same thing. What could it mean, if anything?

Has anyone seen this pattern before?

Just throwing this idea out there...

Could it be the leading edge of the subducted JDF plate still being pushed along underneath the N American Plate causing some EQ's as it goes?

Dear Rumbottlerenovator,

I have an answer. But that would require me to be coherent and articulate. At present, I have the sole responsiblity for a five year old. He shares many of genetic characteristics (unlike my eldest son), so it's like keeping up with a Juvenile Robin Williams on speed. I won't be able to write at length until tomorrow evening. You're correct. The water levels have increased since the swarm. And there is a thermal increase as well in the north end of the lake. But I'll leave you with this, and it's not meant to be demeaning, it's simple, what goes up must come down. Check back and I'll provide more details.

Sincerely,
Robin

I also have noticed that circle pattern of quakes in the Pacific Northwest. I have seen it show up, off and on, for several years. On the recent earthquakes map, sometimes the entire circle clearly shows up, sometimes just parts of it. I am interested in Impact Craters and earthquakes. Could this be evidence of an ancient 600 mile wide impact crater? Could the giant impact crater also be the cause of the Yellowstone hot spot?

I have observed this pattern occuring for several years on the USGS Recent Earthquakes in USA website.
earthquake.usgs.gov...
It circles from Oregon, through Washington, almost to Canada, Idaho, then over through Montana down to Yellowstone Park, down through Wyoming and Utah, and part way into Nevada and California, then back to Oregon

I still strongly feel that there is definately something there. If you look at the Google Map view of the Pacific Northwest, in the Satellite view, or Terrain view.... you can also see this gigantic 600 mile wide circle in the landscape. It is there. There also appears to be a raised area in the center, like a bulls eye.
maps.google.com...

If impact craters may have possibly effected the geological formation of mountain ranges, such as the Ural Mountain Range in Russia, could a giant impact crater in the Pacific Northwest also effect the geological formation of the Cascades and the Rockies? Oil companies do look for circular formation patterns in earthquakes, to locate ancient impact craters, to find oil and gas deposites. At the Panther Mountain Impact Site, fractures along the rim of the impact crater are weaknesses in the rock, which allow water to wear away and create circular patterns in the landscape. Could a giant impact crater also cause huge fractures going deep into the earth's crust, allowing magma to rise up through these weak areas, and create the volcanoes in the Cascade mountains to form a curve along the left side of the impact crater rim? Gigantic Lunar Impact Craters do have vast areas of flood basalt. Could this giant impact crater in the Pacific Northwest be the cause of the Columbia River Flood Basalt which covers 63,000 square miles, and is up to 6,000 feet thick in some areas? Could the giant impact crater also be the cause of the Yellowstone hot spot?

This circular pattern of earthquakes on the USGS Recent Earthquakes page has continued to show up for several years. Their animation page shows just one week at a time. I have watched this site for several years, most of the time on a daily basis, and it continues to show up. Sometimes part of the circle shows, and other times a complete circle of quakes. If you look at data from USGS, of the earthquakes in that area, for the past few months or years, you will see that the circular pattern is there. The latest date of the most complete 600 mile wide circle I saw was on December 19, 2007. If you could get access to data on that date ( December 19, 2007) , you will see that circle. The animation on that USGS web site shows the quakes that happened in the United States in the previous 7 days. earthquake.usgs.gov...

Hey all! Enjoy reading your posts and give out stars accordingly.
Don't get all scared and call me names here, but I just had a bad thought.
This looks like one big caldera to me. Or sinkhole.
It would of course encompass many supervolcanos within it
combining possibly into one of frightening historical porportions!
Indeed, like nothing before ever!
Chew on that for a late night snack!

You know me, I consider the worst and then work back to reality!


Edit to add more of these:
Especially after watching the History channel tonight!

HI. Um, wow, I think we are saying the
same thing but only in different terms!
Thanks for the links and post!

A 'bullseye' in the centre is just exactly typical of impact sites. We would need to get hold of geological maps to determine if the formations in the bullseye are deep rock.

If this turns out to be true you have made yourself an amazing discovery my friend!

Edit: Not least because the largest impact discovered so far is 300 Km wide! This would be a Guiness Book of records candidate.

The possible giant, ancient impact crater in the Pacific Northwest, also resembles impact crater patterns on Mars and Venus. Perhaps this is why Yellowstone is such an active place on Earth, something dug a really big hole.

On Google Images, type in the words Ejecta Blanket. (This is the term for the stuff that is thrown out of the impact crater)........ Now look on the first row, the second picture, which is an ejecta blanket from a Venus impact crater, look at it's ejecta which resembles flower petals..... and then on the second row, the second picture, a ejecta blanket from a Mars impact crater, look at the bottom of it an see how it spills out.

maps.google.com...
Place the google map of the Pacific Northwest, side by side on the screen, and compare it with these two impact crater ejecta patterns. Does there seem to be ejecta ( from a possible Huge Pacific Northwest Impact Crater ) that spreads out to the states of Montana,Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada ? Can you see the " flower petal like ejecta" on the East side if the Pacific Northwest Crater? Now look at the bottom of it, where the mountain ranges in Nevada ( in neat rows ) appear to spill out of the crater, like spokes of a bike wheel.

Has anyone noticed the Old Faithful's monitor has begun doing what the others have been doing for awhile?



plus on the webcam, there is not much snow

I have tried to overlay the two maps as best I can.

The 'circle' is distorted because of the way the maps are created. I tried doing it on a Google Earth image but could not get it to match at all well.

This does not look quite the same to me. The 'pipecleaner' part is not a continuous signal, and the timing is not regular. The loer part looks like wind.

Interetsing though. I will see if I can get the trace.

I tried to convert to audio and analyize these "pipecleaner" signals on the beginnning of the webicorder and they sound very weird to me. They don't look like seismic rumble or wind, they're more similar to the "undefinable" earthquake-like signal on LKWY from the other day in that they have a clear swinging high-frequency trace.

They could be geyser activity mixed with electronic noise, of which YFT station seems to be moderately highly affected from what I can see (on the spectrum) and hear. Most probably not seismic, though.

Wow, I just read your post, and had a classic lightbulb moment. I came across this site a couple months ago. It seems to elaborate on a theory of a giant wheel of vortex spots in the western U.S.

Check it out, the circle is a perfect match, although a good full picture I can't find.

It makes sense that 'vortexes' would fall on activity hotspots.

Please check it out, it is a perfect match on the circle.

reply to post by beebs


thats a pretty interesting find aswell..... Does this stand up againt earth quakes from around the world that fall on these paticular geological / powerful area's ???

reply to post by questioningall


I have taken from 08:00 to 10:00 UTC and created the sound file. It is a big file because I had to put it into audacity to chop out the irrelevant parts. (A few pops and cracks and background noise).

It is eerie and you can almost hear water under pressure going up the pipes and cracks. It is 4 sections so keep going to the end (About 5 mins)

Well worth a listen! (Is this old faithful singing? Listen to the middle sections)

Old Faithul is the most famous geyser in Yellowstone, but remember that there are many other less popular ones in that area (and that Yellostone park alone has 50% of all geysers in the world): those sounds/signals may be caused by the activity of some of them.

reply to post by Disclosure Agent


I am not sure... The site may have some info on that, I am checking it out. I wouldn't doubt it though, it makes sense that if vortexes exist, they would be where the earth is tumultuous.
