Whats going on at yellowstone?

I have been asked to link this about quakes going unreported which is in the Quake Watch thread as it was considered relevant to here.

Been saying for awile that everything is not reported.... I think quakes are not reported and some mags are downgraded to keep people from seeing the real picture which is,,, Earthquakes are increasing and intensifing....

www.isthisthingon.org...

its showing up on all of the stations , wtf , and the usgs nothing is comming up , and it looks to be a 3pointer somewhere in the park or within a 100 mile radius.

The higher the microvolt, the more accurate the seismograph is. right?

@alysha. This is the seismic wave from the 7.1 quake in ecuador

yeah it is , and i relized that after i posted it .

Whats going on in Upper falls?

looks crazy.

Nothing showing up anywhere else - maybe a hungry woodpecker.

Gosh everytime I see this thread pop up I hold my breath and open it. =]

I am very grateful for the time and effort you all put into this research so thanks.. i think

The seismograph were offline and then online.

what the hell..? ;D

It shows up best HERE

Looking kinda noisy today!

It's to quiet. Quiet before the storm? The latest shaking I find is:
10/08/10 - 20:05:50 - 44.09N 110.49W - 6.7 - 0.9 - 22.7 mi SSE of West Thumb.

Anyway, as the caldera bulges upward, the hotspot expends 10 times more energy by gradually deforming Earth’s crust at Yellowstone than by producing earthquakes.

Just so I have said it, the plume, 300 miles wide at its top end, may explain why ground along the Teton fault moves in directions just the opposite of those expected.

Hmm, all information from the USGS lately indicates uplift stopped entirely or has receded to long term, background levels. So I am curious where you are getting that uplift continues??

My clumsy way of writing. Should have been more careful saying if, not as.

So it would have been better if I said "if the caldera bulges upward".

Sorry for that.
And yes, with the caldera slowing its rise and seismic activity in the Park receding to normal levels, a new stretch of stability may be in store for the Yellowstone.

I can't help but look at the much bigger picture. I most definately see the earth as being connected in every way, including seismicly. Especially areas on the same continent.

If the Yellowstone caldera HAS stopped rising (I see that as mother earth taking a big breath), and seismic activity stabilized, then were is that pent-up energy being released? (big breath out) I don't know if that makes sense, but when I picture the North American continent, and all the masive forces at work, I can clearly see how they are all inter-connected.

For example, the Juan de Fuca Plate along pretty much the whole Western Coast, and closer to home the Cascade Subduction zone. Given the history (path of travel) of the Yellowstone Caldera, I have no problem believing that the Cascade Range and the tectonics/vulcanism in Yellowstone play off each other. Yin and Yang....No, Yellowstone is not part of the ring of fire, but it IS part of a land mass that is being shoved and pushed and moved every day by that ring.

SO...if the Caldera has stopped rising and the quakes slowed, than I believe all that pressure pushing up and expanding underground is finding a different path. Perhaps this ties into the deep tremors being experienced along our Cascadian subduction zone right now???

Ah you beat me too it!

That's what I get for getting in a bidding war on eBay! Already getting a few felt reports:

Someone was just asking if we were just seeing the calm before the storm....

www.deseretnews.com...

The swarm occuring south of Yellowstone is related to the volcanic system. And it started around the new moon. Worldwide things have been active. I predicted August would see activity as the moon heads back from it's furthest point. Add a rainy, stormy summer to the mix and you have lubrication for the faults. Moon moving ground water, you get earthquakes. There is no activity under Yellowstone proper because the pressure has been release from the two large swarms which began on new moons. The pressure is now in an adjacent area. It's all connected.


What do I know!?

Looking at the seismos for the park, it appears there are several smaller quakes both before and after the 4.3.

The begining of another swarm?

reply to post by Robin Marks
Finally. I did not really want to say it, but now it's in the open. Yes, I agree 100%. It is a part of the volcanic system we call Yellowstone. I even wonder if Snake River Plain and other areas in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah are a part of or are affected by Yellowstone. And Grand Teton are indeed a part of the Tectonic Parabola.

Looks funny.

(the first anomalie at the blue line)

and here: www.isthisthingon.org...

(another day, but the same anomalie at the same time)

haha. whats that?
