DENVER In the last two weeks, more than 100 mostly tiny earthquakes a day, on average, have rattled a remote area of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, putting scientists who monitor the parks strange and volatile geology on alert.

Ya notice your weather chart shows everything moving EAST from Cal?
lol.....
"Smoke/ash direction is not dependent on wind direction"
I'm getting that movie movie felling again....lol
isn’t this like the mother of all seismic activity
or was that just the movie
Drag -
then you are clearly ignorant on the subject, the pinatubo ash column is an order of magnitude higher than s ca “smoke” plumes. can’t even see that for N.CA the winds are almost due north.
I will waste no more of my day on your sophomoric comments.
If you'd read first, you'd see what I have said. I assume the map was from 70,000 years ago...last erutpion...No?
For many hundreds of years or more, the prevailing winds generally blow west to east.
Are you suggesting this is wrong?
more know it now
thanks to these two commies
Quick call the DNC abnd have an emergincy meeting there...all registered Democrats welcome!
OK, I put you in this category:
Godzilla: “Smoke/ash direction is not dependent on wind direction”
"Smoke/ash direction is not dependent on wind direction"
I've got to run now guys....lol
:o
I am saying it is largely immaterial, as pyroclastic flows can reach over 100 mph on their own accord, no wind needed, and can spread out on their own when they are of a scale of a supervolcano eruption - the wind would just elongate the deposits in one direction, but not prevent the deposition at right angles to the source.
fascinating
Not only geologically ignorant, but meteorologically ignorant as well. You’d do better talking to a piece of schist.
It is rather odd to see someone take issue with a map of the geological reality on the ground - rather than raising the issue of wind to show that literal ground truth cannot be correct, a sound approach would be to ask the kind of forces that could trigger deposition at great distance at right angles to the prevailing wind.
Indeed, the existence of ash 'up wind' from the prevalent says other wise I agree.
The meterologist side of me notes that the coriolis effect alters wind directions vertically, thus while surface winds my be in one direction, winds at a higher elevation could be 180 deg opposite.
a sound approach would be to ask the kind of forces that could trigger deposition at great distance at right angles to the prevailing wind.
I don't think a 'sound approach' is being desired, a village is looking for one of its members.
Indeed, evidence of watching too many B sci fi flics with volcanos.
