Yellowstone on the rise….
This has really been going on for a couple of years now. They have had some of the park specifically in the Norris Basin region of the park shut down for a while with ground temps around 200 degrees F. Anyway this could be a significant event should something actually happen……
U. scientists say Yellowstone caldera may be filling with magma
The floor of the Yellowstone caldera has risen at a rate faster than has ever been observed before, according to a new study that gives further proof that “ground deformation” at the park resembles the gently heaving chest of a slumbering giant.
The likely cause of the uplift is a volcanic intrusion of molten rock that has moved upward 50 to 60 miles and flattened into a pancake the size of Los Angeles a few miles below the surface, according to a study to be published Friday by University of Utah scientists.
