Recent eruptions, 200 degree ground temperatures, bulging magma and 84 degree water temperatures prompt heightened srutiny of park's geothermal activity...

 

BILLINGS, Mont. -- Yellowstone National Park happens to be on top of one of the largest "super volcanoes" in the world. Geologists claim the Yellowstone Park area has been on a regular eruption cycle of 600,000 years. The last eruption was 640,000 years ago making the next one long overdue. This next eruption could be 2,500 times the size of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. Volcanologists have been tracking the movement of magma under the park and have calculated that, in parts of Yellowstone, the ground has risen over seventy centimeters this century.

 

In July, 2003, Yellowstone Park rangers closed the entire Norris Geyser Basin because of deformation of the land and excessive high ground temperatures. There is an area that is 28 miles long by 7 miles wide that has bulged upward over five inches since 1996, and this year the ground temperature on that bulge has reached over 200 degrees (measured one inch below ground level).

 

There was no choice but to close off the entire area. Everything in this area is dying: The trees, flowers, grass and shrubs. A dead zone is developing and spreading outward. The animals are literally migrating out of the park.

 

Then during the last part of July one of the Park geologists discovered a huge bulge at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake. The bulge has already risen over 100 feet from the bottom of the lake and the water temperature at the surface of the bulge has reached 88 degrees and is still rising.

 

Keep in mind that Yellowstone Lake is a high mountain lake with very cold water temperatures. The Lake is now closed to the public. It is filled with dead fish floating everywhere. The same is true of the Yellowstone river and most of the other streams in the Park. Dead and dying fish are filling the water everywhere.

 

Many of the picnic areas in the Park have been closed and people visiting the Park usually stay but a few hours before leaving since the stench of sulfur is so strong they literally can't stand the smell.

 

The irony of all this is the silence by the news media and our government. Very little information is available from Yellowstone personnel or publications. What mainstream newsstories do appear underscore the likelihood of a massive volcanic eruption. Though geologists publicly admit Yellowstone is "overdue," they have been quoted as stating another massive magma release may not occur for 100,000 or 2 million years. Others close to the story are convinced that a massive eruption is imminent. A source that has demonstrated first-hand knowledge of the park's history and recent geothermal events stated the following: "The American people are not being told that the explosion of this 'super volcano' could happen at any moment. When Yellowstone does blow, some geologists predict that every living thing within six hundred miles is likely to die. The movement of magma has been detected just three-tenths of a mile below the bulging surface of the ground in Yellowstone raising concerns that this super volcano may erupt soon."

Heavy Dude.

I was able to totally invision that as I read along with your post.

So much for having the O2 tanks I have stored for Emergencies.

[Quix]

Well said.

If you could vent the pressure with drilling and/or conventional explosives, it would already be too late to avert the disaster. Again, if there is even the faintest chance of the article's apocalyptic forecast actually happening, a little above ground nuclear fallout will be the least of anyone's worries.

I was out on skyline drive with my wife and mother-in-law. We saw this line of people parked and pointing to the storm cloud looking bunch of clouds in the distance heading evidently our way and we kept on driving without the radio on.

We went to an open house a block from our apartment to see if it was an attractive house to buy. There the realator told us what was going on. By the time we finished looking at the house, it was beginning to get dark--about twilight worth--as ash was starting to fall. We left our car there for a couple of weeks and walked home. Thankfully, the wife's Nursing job at the hospital was a block away--Sacred Heart on South Hill.

I remember it as quite an awesome time. Dark in the middle of the day was a new experience.

I used to have a jar of the ash for scrubbing things. But I didn't carry it to China!

Sale out on Leaf Blowers no doubt.

[lepton]

They did. In January 93.. Stayed until January 01.

I coulda sworn I saw them there for about three more weeks.

Which aspect of the government in what context and what set of contingencies with what goal(s) in mind amidst what other global goings on?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Mountains more than a mile wide are blasted through in a year or so, without nukes. Taking a decade to get down there (magma is less than 10 miles below) doesn't sound like a bad plan. That's less than a moment on a geological scale.

[Quix]

Not surprised, given Spokane experience.

[Quix]

FOR SURE.

BAN SHRILLERY FROM PUBLIC LIFE.

Send her home to Reno.

Ok, I bite. Trees breath CO2, how it kill them? Sulfiric gas, I understand, CO2?

From the article...

Mammoth Mountain, a young volcano in eastern California, sits on the southwest rim of Long Valley Caldera. In 1994, scientists detected high concentrations of CO2 gas in the soil on Mammoth Mountain.

< -snip- >

Although leaves of plants produce oxygen (O2) from CO2 during photosynthesis, their roots need to absorb O2directly. The high CO2 concentrations in the soil on Mammoth Mountain are killing trees by denying their roots O2and by interfering with nutrient uptake. In the areas of tree kill, CO2 makes up about 20 to 95% of the gas content of the soil; soil gas normally contains 1% or less CO2.

Then there are those who are religiously intense about their evil.

thanks timesaver on looking it up

CO2 exposure causes rapid, shallow breathing.

If you're hyperventilating, it may not be from anxiety.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Bottom line is that things are getting pretty interesting in Yellowstone park.

Glad I'm out of the blast zone. I figure the entire northwest well be a smokin crater, and the mid west and back east will be covered in 2 feet of ash.

If it goes off, I'll try and catch as many of you as possible on your way down..Maybe investing in a parachute would be a good idea.

[Quix]

Well and good . . .

though . . .

The Bible does speak of the sun becoming darkened--many of us believe in the prophetic era we are now well into the beginning of by 50+ years.

[SevenDaysInMay]

You would have to worry about your buildings' structural failures while you asphyxiate.

[oceanperch]

PARTY CRASHER!

I believe the issue is that the ash compromised life through the lungs. Sluggish and slowly dying animals collected at the watering hole and were buried by more windblown ash.

It seems to take a while to compact if my Spokane experience is a clue.
