Quakes and eruptions spark talks of Yellowstone super volcano

Do you think there is a connection between the Hawaii Volcano and Yellowstone Very Large Volcano? 

A cluster of earthquakes at Yellowstone National Park followed by the fourth eruption of its usually dormant geyser has sparked speculation about the world’s largest super volcano.

Is the big one about to blow, blanketing the US with ash and sending the Earth into a volcanic ice age?

Probably not, but some of the signs are there.

But,,,,,,,

Steamboat hadn’t erupted since September 2014.

Then on March 15 this year, it blew back into life, followed by eruptions on April 19 and April 27.

On May 4, it erupted again, the fourth time in seven weeks. It is now the world’s tallest and most powerful active geyser.


The eruptions came on the back of earthquake activity at Yellowstone recorded by the US Geological Survey (USGS).

A swarm of more than 200 earthquakes struck Yellowstone over two weeks, starting on February 8 and increasing on February 15 in an area 13km northeast of West Yellowstone, Montana.

The USGS reported that a bigger series of tiny quakes hit the area but were too seismometers to record them.

A swarm indicates a shifting of the major tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s surface, or movements of water, gas or magma.
