YELLOWSTONE UPDATES (2014) : ... Strange things happening @ Yellowstone... | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 55823884  United Kingdom04/03/2014 08:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation |  Guys, what is on the ground??? SNOW What does Snow do?? MELT What does it melt into?? WATER Where does the water go?? UNDERGROUND What does Yellowstone have?? HYDROTHERMAL FEATURES CONCLUSION: Yellowstone has Hydrothermal features which means water underground boils because of the heat source underneath...When it reaches a certain pressure (like a kettle), it blows out steam... Now, you see the ground covered in Snow, which is slowly melting. Extra water from the melting snow is building up on top of the normal amount of water there usually is. This means there is more water in the system...The more water in the system, the more there is to boil...The more there is to boil, the more steam it will generate.... What you are seeing on that CAM is a complete normal process that Yellowstone does...It just seems more intense because of the fact there is more water entering the ground from the snow.... Chill out, relax and enjoy the wonderful features that Yellowstone gives us.... Yellowstone's hydrothermal features would not exist without the underlying magma body that releases tremendous heat. They also depend on sources of water, such as from the mountains surrounding the Yellowstone Plateau. There, snow and rain slowly percolate through layers of permeable rock riddled with cracks. Some of this cold water meets hot brine directly heated by the shallow magma body. The water's temperature rises well above the boiling point but the water remains in a liquid state due to the great pressure and weight of the overlying water. The result is superheated water with temperatures exceeding 400°F [link to www.nps.gov] |

Sol Neman  User ID: 54563708 United States04/03/2014 08:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have visited the park and I have watched this camera many times before. Yellowstone is about 200 miles south of me. It is steam you are seeing, not smoke. The temperature of the water coming out of those geysers is well over 200*F. The ambient air temperature is currently 36*F so you see lots of steam. Even when it is 70-80*F you see lots of steam. You are watching Old Faithful. It is called Old Faithful because it faithfully goes off, roughly, every 90 minutes. Seeing multiple geysers steaming at the same time in this area is not unusual. There are geysers throughout the park so you will see steam rise in the background/tree line. The camera you are watching has always panned back and forth. During daylight hours there is someone operating it to provide the best view for people watching and during tourist season the operator can keep an eye out to make sure tourists don't venture off the designated paths and put themselves in more danger than they are already in standing in the caldera of the largest volcano in the world. The camera is mounted to a tree and does sway back and forth. You should see how much it sways when it is really windy.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 50587925 United States04/03/2014 08:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please excuse my ignorance if this has been posted already...but, isn't this normal for Yellowstone to vent like this? Or, is it being more active then usual? Quoting: katballoo most of these people have been watching this cam for all of....A DAY. so I don't think they are an authority on whether this is more active than usual. for all they really know, this could be a decrease in activity. |

Quoting: told ya Wasn't wind...that was debunked on another thread. Seems to be a small eq I scoped out the weather forecast and it said current conditions, wind speed 5 mph...calm. |

That picture is showing mostly steam, since it was not very windy today and heat rises it appears much larger than it really is. The actual plume of liquid water is not as large as that picture shows. If you want to see the largest geyser in the park you will want to look at Steamboat. When it has violent eruptions it can shoot liquid water up to 300' feet in the air. See link below.

| Keep Smiling User ID: 72261 New Zealand04/03/2014 08:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was less than 40 miles from Pinatubo when it erupted. You never want to wish this stuff on anyone! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14707721 That would have been terrifying. I don't think anyone wants anything bad to happen - its a case of watching unpredictable mother nature and marvelling at it - without wishing doom - if that makes sense |
| odaeio User ID: 56395162 United Kingdom04/03/2014 09:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For what it's worth, two of us have been watching for 3 days now, along with the associated seismo, and the seismo for L.A. We also noted that, for sure, the place goes well crazy with every quake. That we took for granted, been trying to work out why now is all. Also, today is the first day of no bison, camera was well interested in the bison yesterday though, and there have been lot's of bison around the last few days.... The Universe does Balance and Equilibrium - neither excess nor deficit. Perhaps humanity would have been wise to follow it's example. |

I do think a lot more geothermal eruptions are happening because of snow melt but also, there is a possibility that the seismic pinging going on is helping it too - in some way. |

WTF is wrong with you? did your parent not love you enough? i mean really... were you here this morning watching the cams bounce up and down... geyser began to erupt crazy high (not OF) and the EQ cams in CA were logging EQ's at the same exact times. Are you still not understanding why we are all here watching and discussing? No one said doom you fuckin dense pricks. lol so fucking funny.  |
