Cryptic interview about Yellowstone, two weeks given!??

I guess we will know soon enough.

Yellowstone is not a volcano... nor is it a super volcano.. there is the mountain around it? It is a caldera... a huge POT that receives magma from below and distributes it out thru its lava tubes that branch from it. It is too big to erupt. There cannot be enough pressure built up since it sends the magma down tubes to other areas. Yellowstone caldera helps heat 2/3 of the United states.

Thanks for the heads up OP.
I noticed this was the wrong timeline.
Two weeks is more than enough time to close it.

I was amazed that this official defined "the foreseeable future" as being two weeks.

Just how ignorant can you be? Do your research.. Yellowstone has erupted in the past and it will do so again in the future.

MAYBE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO... YOU ARE PRESENTED ON THE INTERNET WITH BULLSHIT BELOVED. I KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK AND THE INTERNET IS NOT CORRECT. ITS FULL OF GARBAGE.

IT IS NOT A VOLCANO. IT IS TOO BIG TO ERUPT AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE... IT CAN HEAT THE GROW AND SPEW GEYSERS AND MAKE SMALL QUAKES BUT THAT IS IT..... IF THERE IS ERUPTION.. IT WILL BE IN THE VOLCANOES ALONG AND AT THE END OF THE LAVA TUBES.

Yellowstone is at the northeastern end of the Snake River Plain, a great U-shaped arc through the mountains that extends from Boise, Idaho some 400 miles (640 km) to the west. This feature traces the route of the North American Plate over the last 17 million years as it was transported by plate tectonics across a stationary mantle hotspot. The landscape of present-day Yellowstone National Park is the most recent manifestation of this hotspot below the crust of the Earth.[59]

The Yellowstone Caldera is the largest volcanic system in North America. It has been termed a "supervolcano" because the caldera was formed by exceptionally large explosive eruptions. The magma chamber that lies under Yellowstone is estimated to be a single connected chamber, about 37 miles (60 km) long, 18 miles (29 km) wide, and 3 to 7 miles (5 to 12 km) deep.[60] The current caldera was created by a cataclysmic eruption that occurred 640,000 years ago, which released more than 240 cubic miles (1,000 km³) of ash, rock and pyroclastic materials.[61] This eruption was more than 1,000 times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.[62] It produced a caldera nearly five eighths of a mile (1 km) deep and 45 by 28 miles (72 by 45 km) in area and DEPOSITED the Lava Creek Tuff, a welded tuff geologic formation. The most violent known eruption, which occurred 2.1 million years ago, ejected 588 cubic miles (2,450 km³) of volcanic material and created the rock formation known as the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff and created the Island Park Caldera.[63] A smaller eruption ejected 67 cubic miles (280 km³) of material 1.3 million years ago, forming the Henry's Fork Caldera and DEPOSITING the Mesa Falls Tuff.[62]

Each of the three climactic eruptions released vast amounts of ash that blanketed much of central North America, falling many hundreds of miles away. The amount of ash and gases released into the atmosphere probably caused significant impacts to world weather patterns and led to the extinction of some species, primarily in North America.[64]

A subsequent caldera-forming eruption occurred about 160,000 years ago. It formed the relatively small caldera that contains the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake. Since the last supereruption, a series of smaller eruptive cycles between 640,000 and 70,000 years ago, has nearly filled in the Yellowstone Caldera with >80 different eruptions of rhyolitic lavas such as those that can be seen at Obsidian Cliffs and basaltic lavas which can be VIEWED at Sheepeater Cliff. Lava strata are most easily seen at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where the Yellowstone River CONTINUES to carve into the ancient lava flows. The canyon is a classic V-shaped valley, indicative of river-type erosion rather than erosion caused by glaciation.[63]

Each eruption is part of an eruptive cycle that climaxes with the partial collapse of the roof of the volcano's partially emptied magma chamber. This creates a collapsed depression, called a caldera, and releases vast amounts of volcanic material, usually through fissures that ring the caldera. The time between the last three cataclysmic eruptions in the Yellowstone area has ranged from 600,000 to 800,000 years, but the small number of such climactic eruptions cannot be used to make an accurate prediction for future volcanic events.[65]

Beehive Geyser Erupting
Geysers and the hydrothermal system[edit]
The most famous geyser in the park, and perhaps the world, is Old Faithful Geyser, located in Upper Geyser Basin. Castle Geyser, Lion Geyser and Beehive Geyser are in the same basin. The park contains the largest active geyser in the world—Steamboat Geyser in the Norris Geyser Basin. A study that was completed in 2011 found that at least 1283 geysers have erupted in Yellowstone. Of these, an average of 465 are active in a given year.[66][67] Yellowstone contains at least 10,000 geothermal features altogether. Half the geothermal features and two-thirds of the world's geysers are concentrated in Yellowstone.[68]

In May 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey, Yellowstone National Park, and the University of Utah created the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO), a partnership for long-term monitoring of the geological processes of the Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field, for disseminating information concerning the potential hazards of this geologically active region.[69]


Old Faithful Geyser erupts approximately every 91 minutes.
In 2003, changes at the Norris Geyser Basin RESULTED in the temporary closure of some trails in the basin. New fumaroles were observed, and several geysers showed enhanced activity and increasing water temperatures. Several geysers became so hot that they were transformed into purely steaming features; the water had become superheated and they could no longer erupt normally.[70] This coincided with the release of reports of a multiple year United States Geological SURVEY research project which mapped the bottom of Yellowstone Lake and identified a structural dome that had uplifted at some time in the past. Research indicated that these uplifts posed no immediate threat of a volcanic eruption, since they may have developed long ago, and there had been no temperature increase found near the uplifts.[71] On March 10, 2004, a biologist discovered 5 dead bison which apparently had inhaled toxic geothermal gases trapped in the Norris Geyser Basin by a seasonal atmospheric inversion. This was closely followed by an upsurge of earthquake activity in April 2004.[72] In 2006, it was reported that the Mallard Lake Dome and the Sour Creek Dome— areas that have long been known to show significant changes in their ground movement— had risen at a rate of 1.5 to 2.4 inches (3.8 to 6.1 cm) per year from mid–2004 through 2006. As of late 2007, the uplift has CONTINUED at a reduced rate.[73][74] These events inspired a great deal of media attention and speculation about the geologic future of the region. Experts responded to the conjecture by informing the public that there was no increased risk of a volcanic eruption in the near future.[75] However, these changes demonstrate the dynamic nature of the Yellowstone hydrothermal system.

Earthquakes[edit]

16 Fabulous Celebs Who Look Incredibly Ordinary!

Main terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs
Yellowstone experiences thousands of small earthquakes every year, virtually all of which are undetectable to people. There have been six earthquakes with at least magnitude 6 or greater in historical times, including a 7.5‑magnitude quake that struck just outside the northwest boundary of the park in 1959. This quake triggered a huge landslide, which caused a partial dam collapse on Hebgen Lake; immediately downstream, the sediment from the landslide dammed the river and created a new lake, known as Earthquake Lake. Twenty-eight people were killed, and property damage was extensive in the immediate region. The earthquake caused some geysers in the northwestern section of the park to erupt, large cracks in the ground formed and emitted steam, and some hot springs that normally have clear water turned muddy.[51] A 6.1‑magnitude earthquake struck inside the park on June 30, 1975, but damage was minimal.


Upper Terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs
For three months in 1985, 3,000 minor earthquakes were detected in the northwestern section of the park, during what has been referred to as an earthquake swarm, and has been attributed to minor subsidence of the Yellowstone caldera.[62] Beginning on April 30, 2007, 16 small earthquakes with magnitudes up to 2.7 occurred in the Yellowstone Caldera for several days. These swarms of earthquakes are common, and there have been 70 such swarms between 1983 and 2008.[76] In December 2008, over 250 earthquakes were measured over a four-day span under Yellowstone Lake, the largest measuring a magnitude of 3.9.[77] In January 2010, more than 250 earthquakes were detected over a two-day period.[78] Seismic activity in Yellowstone National Park continues and is reported hourly by the Earthquake Hazards PROGRAM of the U.S. Geological SURVEY.[79]

On March 30, 2014, a magnitude 4.8 earthquake struck almost the very middle of Yellowstone near the Norris Basin at 6.34am; reports indicated no damage. This was the biggest earthquake to hit the park since February 22, 1980.[80]

Learn your fucking facts kid.....

I do suggest a possible pin for a two week countdown to see where this goes?

Dutch?

Seriously?

Hey I will say, it's not something that dutch himself is saying, he is linking a direct report from the main stream media. If it was conjecture then yeah I would never have posted the video, but coming from the main stream media, they never post something like this without an actual reason to do so.

and what happens to nuclear power plants if it does erupt???? SAME THING WITH A GREAT EARTHQUAKE OR A POLE SHIFT.....get rid of those nuclear power plants before its to late!

yeah and SHOUTING makes you right too, fucknut

the whole damn country will be burried under 50 feet of ash. no big deal.

so, no eruption for a fortnight. we're ok for a fortnight is what he's saying

basically, they can give us two weeks warning, but WOULD they?

I'll save you the trouble: it's not going to erupt - not in two weeks, two months or two millenia.

That is nothing but blind arrogance.. to say the above ^ you have no better idea on when it will or will not erupt than anyone else on this forum.

It's already too late.




And......NO

again I simply posted what I felt should be brought to everyone's attention, wither it be right, or wrong, it should be watched. The fact that so many want to dismiss the video so quickly, tells me that half of you either didn't even watch it, or half of you have not followed this volcanic system as long as those monitoring it closely and leaking this information have. Who knows what is going to happen, but there is no harm in being prepared, even if this is a false alarm, then hey your grocery shopping for the two weeks is done.

SO relax, drink a beer, get prepared and ride out the potential storm in style.

It was taken out of context.

And Ditchsinse grabbed it and sensationalized it.

It's what he does.

I guess we will find out soon enough.

Sooo you are saying it could be 2 days then ??!!??!!

Has anyone checked the earthquake data lately, is there an increase, is the ground rising more? What might give someone the idea that it COULD erupt in two weeks, something has to have changed drastically
.

^^^ This. ^^^

Here's what I heard from the report...something along the lines of...

"...don't see it erupting in the foreseeable future"

"What's the foreseeable future?"

"...the next two weeks..."

Meaning they do NOT see it erupting in the next two weeks.

No doubt it may have before; the fossil digs around Nebraska of rhinos and camels and such are quite interesting, to think that such critters roamed the Great Plains and were suddenly buried in volcanic ash. So some day, perhaps...

We didn't believe you the first time you said it.

Shouting certainly isn't going to help your case.

You now just look CRAZY!

Last blast radias I saw was about 800 miles, I live 805 miles away, all is good as long as I stay back of that first horizon.

When the ash settles that is pretty much sterile land right, no GMO shit so air seeding would pay off if you want wheat to become a native grass. In Italy they would kill to get fields like that. Maybe it wasn't the buffalo that created the black soil, they came along and ate the new greens.

I say ...Is that Caps Lock he is using cripes he must be serious ooooooh lets all listen to the Caps Lock chap as he uses block capitals .......
