Mr. Muggles User ID: 716247 United States 01/28/2010 04:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | we all need to watch for magma to start building up under the caldera. yellowstone (from what i've read) sits on a fault. so the EQ's are due to stress from the fault, not magma building up.

Munchaab (OP) User ID: 876569 United Kingdom 01/28/2010 04:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yellowstone is too leaky of a system to blow. It can only ooze. Quoting: SubarcticBeefIt's overdue a big blow-off - the last one threw millions of cubic tonnes across the globe. Having said that we are 30M years overdue an ELE from an asteroid but I'm not holding my breath. The "OMG" posts came in fast! The 1st within a minute of my posting - you clearly have not read my conjecture (& links) or you would realise I am posing a question not doom-saying. I am also drawing some question of the Haiti swarm (starting with the 7.0)and possibilities of HAARP involvement? DELLBOY - if GLPs are an issue, why are you here?

Wtf is up with you americans and the simple and coherent metric system? It is based on the meter for measuring distances, which is about 3ft 4" long. And volumes and weights are based on derivates of the meter according to the following logic: 1 meter cubed is 1000 liters in volume, and if that volume of one cubic meter is filled up with water, it weighs 1000 kilograms, or 1 metric ton. Around 2200 US pounds. Nothing is called a "cubic tonne", that makes just about as much sense as a cubic pound... A cubic kilometer is 1000*1000*1000 meters of volume, wich eguates to a billion cubic meters, or if filled with water a billion tons. Or 1000 billion kg's. Get it straight, it's the only system worth using. |

Get it straight, it's the only system worth using. Nothing is called a "metric tonne"? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the metric unit of mass. For other tons, see Ton. For the World War II fighter pilot, see Wolfgang Tonne. A tonne (unit symbol t) or metric ton (U.S.),[1] also referred to as a metric tonne, is a measurement of mass equal to 1,000 kg or 2,204.62262 lb, or approximately the mass of one cubic metre of water at four degrees Celsius. It is not a unit in the International System of Units (SI), but is accepted for use with the SI.[2] In SI units and prefixes, the tonne is a megagram (Mg). The spelling tonne pre-dates the introduction of the SI system in 1960; it has been used with this meaning in France since 1842,[3] and is now used as the standard spelling for the metric mass measurement in most English-speaking countries[citation needed]. In the U.S., the units were originally referred to using the French words millier or tonneau,[4] but these terms are now obsolete.[1] The Imperial and US customary units comparable to the tonne are both spelled ton in English, though they differ in mass. |
