This is a pretty readable article on a severity index for volcanic eruptions. With all the interest in Yellowstone, I thought a few might find this interesting. It could get a lot worse than the most recent Yellowstone super volcanic eruption.

Thought this might be about one of my ex-wives... I'll mosey on along... ;)

The surface of the Earth is peppered with volcanoes. There are massive magma movements beneath a resilient semi-solid crust that is constantly on the move. One might compare it to the surface of a pizza in the oven. There are more volcanoes below the surface of the oceans than there are on land. We don’t necessarily even know when some of them explode. However, they change the landscape radically.

Yellowstone could go off, and the land contours of the continent would change.

All true, are they not ?

So... I wonder why scientists are trying to convince us that the oceans are rising or falling (I guess that depends on where you take your measurements)?
