Molten rock causing ground to rise at Yellowstone WASHINGTON (AP) — Yellowstone National Park, once the site of a giant volcano, has begun swelling up, possibly because molten rock is accumulating beneath the surface, scientists report. But, "there is no evidence of an imminent volcanic eruption," said Robert B. Smith, a professor of geophysics at the University of Utah. Many giant volcanic craters around the world go up and down over decades without erupting, he said. Smith and colleagues report in Friday's issue of the journal Science that the flow of the ancient Yellowstone crater has been moving upward almost 3 inches per year for the past three years. That is more than three times faster than ever observed since such measurements began in 1923, the researchers said. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2007-...oltenrock_N.htm

hmm, On Earthboppin and elsewhere I've heard of people having dreams of events which could be consistent with a Yellowstone event. Its easy to express feelings of shock and horror, but from data supplied by our scientists this is known to be 'overdue'. OK, we all wish that it would not happen in our lifetimes, but its not for us to choose (well not at the ego level). The best that we can hope for is that we are prepared - mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and with food / water etc. Its easy to tell people to move away. Very easy. But for many people such a move would not be easy. We can only make educated guesses just how severe it would be. But we know that it will be more far reaching than (for instance) an eruption of Mt Etna in Sicily (Italy). Simon |
