Yellowstone magma much bigger than thought, study says

HELENA, Mont – The hot molten rock beneath Yellowstone National Park is 2 1/2 times larger than previously estimated, meaning the park's supervolcano has the potential to erupt with a force about 2,000 times the size of Mount St. Helens, according to a new study.

By measuring seismic waves from earthquakes, scientists were able to map the magma chamber underneath the Yellowstone caldera as 55 miles long, lead author Jamie Farrell of the University of Utah said Monday.

The chamber is 18 miles wide and runs at depths from 3 to 9 miles below the earth, he added.

That means there is enough volcanic material below the surface to match the largest of the supervolcano's three eruptions over the last 2.1 million years, Farrell said.

Current Alert level: Green Normal

Yellowstone earthquake activity in January remains at a relatively low background level. Current deformation patterns at Yellowstone remain within historical norms.

We’re coming up on the dibicential of the eruption of the Indonesian volcano which triggered the infamous “year without a summer” of 1816, a.k.a. “Eighteen Hundred and froze to death”.

Somebody better put a catalytic converter over all of those particulate emmissions /sarc.

Yellowstone National Park is home to many beauties, with it’s ancient landscape, geysers, and hot springs.

Although I've admired Yellowstone's natural features, when I hear "beauties" I think more of the summer interns.

And it's its.

new reports are coming in the a borehole (B944) at Yellowstone Lake (where most activity is) has shown some pretty intense movements.

“The activity began around 12:00 Noon, Mountain Standard Time (MST) on February 1, and was detected by a seismometer in Borehole B944 then continued, non-stop, all day yesterday getting worse and worse as the hours wore on.

The activity is continuing right now at 6:06 EST AM as this news article is being produced.”

Look at it this way, you won’t have much more time to dwell on the Broncos’ Super Bowl loss.

According to the analysis of earthquake data in 2013, the magma chamber is 80 km (50 mi) long and 20 km (12 mi) wide, and is shaped like 4,000 km3(960 cu mi) underground mass, of which 6–8% is filled with molten rock.

Anyone here remember the 59 Hebgen Lake quake? I was there.

Awesome. I was there as a five year old, just afterward.
