What if there was a volcano in Yellowstone National Park? The volcanic nature of the area around Yellowstone National Park is well known. Much of the Park is within the boundary of a giant caldera that formed in a huge explosion about 600,000 years ago. The magma chamber underneath the caldera still contains liquid rock and provides the heat for all of the geysers and hot springs that make the Park famous. However, the Yellowstone Caldera is only the latest in a long string of calderas that formed along the Snake River Valley over the last 15 million years. These calderas apparently formed over a plume of hot material rising through the mantle. As the North American plate moves southwest over the hot spot at about 2.2 cm/year, the hot material periodically "burns through" in a giant eruption. Since the hot spot remains active, another giant eruption will almost certainly occur. The question is, when? In the last year, a new cycle of volcanic activity has begun. The number and strength of earthquakes have increased; new hot springs have appeared and existing ones have grown. A large area to the northeast of Yellowstone Lake has uplifted again. Park officials have hired your company to analyze the data and history of the Yellowstone area with three objectives: (1) Estimate the significance of the new activity. Determine whether it is evidence of a new cycle of major volcanic activity. (2) Estimate regional and global effects of a new Yellowstone-scale eruption.(3) Make recommendations concerning possible protective measures.

If Yellowstone National Park is a super-volcano.....? I heard that it's a volcano underground or something like that. Is it true?

I need a list of U.S. National Parks with Volcanoes in them?

can someone please summarise this article about volcanoes? Recreation Area in northern California arrived on the Big Island yesterday to help put out fires that might be ignited by new lava flows. Late Monday or early Tuesday lava broke through the ground in the rainforest northeast of Kane Nui o Hamo. Park officials are making plans to fight any lava-caused fires to protect the forest. If the lava flow does resume in the upper East Rift area near Kane Nui o Hamo, it would almost surely ignite fires that would consume pristine forest in the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park's 2,500-acre East Rift Rainforest Special Ecological Area. That area is considered so valuable it was fenced to protect it from invasive pigs. It provides habitat for the endangered 'io, or Hawaiian hawk, and rare plants, including Hawaiian lobeliads, mints, jewel orchids and the endangered kihi fern. Meanwhile, park officials reopened the closed portion of Crater Rim Drive and Kilauea summit trails yesterday after sulfur dioxide emissions from Kilauea's summit caldera dropped back down to background levels. However, parks officials reminded visitors that air quality in the area can change quickly, and advised motorists traveling along Crater Rim Drive near the South West Rift to close their windows and set their air conditioning to recirculate air within their vehicles. Officials also advised motorists to stay in their vehicles except at designated pull-outs. Chain of Craters Road, Hilina Pali Road and Pu'u 'O'o remained closed, as did the park's eastern boundary near Kalapana. Much of the park is still open, including the Kilauea Visitor Center, Jaggar Museum, Thurston Lava Tube, Volcano House Hotel, Kilauea Military Camp and Volcano Art Center Gallery. The most recent Kilauea rumblings began Sunday with a commotion of earthquakes and magma movement, and appeared to be ending the week with an eruption interruption. U.S. Geological Survey scientists say the eruption at Pu'u 'O'o has officially "paused," with the daily flow of more than 250,000 cubic yards magma somehow cut off or diverted from what had been the focus of the eruption. Without that magma coursing through it and on to the sea, the Pu'u 'O'o crater rapidly collapsed into itself. Volcanic gasses and smoke billowed out of three new cracks in the upper East Rift zone, which appeared to be swelling with magma, but the only new lava flow was a small breakout late Monday or early Tuesday along one of the cracks in the rainforest northeast of Kane Nui o Hamo. That flow didn't even last through Tuesday morning, and scientists are unwilling to venture a guess as to what Kilauea will do next, or when. Earthquake activity and the tremor associated with magma movement decreased to a murmur late this week. "It's fairly quiet. The tremor levels up at the summit are just slightly above background (levels) still, but they're going down," while tremors on the East Rift that were the focus of activity this week dropped to below normal levels, said David Wilson, seismic network manager for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Experts at the observatory have seen dozens of days-long pauses since the current eruption started in 1983. In some cases, such as in 1997, the eruption picked up where it left off, sending lava streaming back toward the ocean from Pu'u 'O'o. In other cases, periods of quiet at Kilauea were followed by dramatic changes. One example was in 1992, when the Kupa'ianaha vent went silent for 10 days, and the eruption abruptly shifted to Pu'u

What is this mountain/volcano/hill thing? In Tongariro National Park? When you are in Tongariro National Park you see the three mountains, Tongariro, Ngaurahoe and Ruapehu, but there is also this mountain/volcano/hill thing to the side of them, My dad calls it Mt Browntop because it never gets snow, that's just a nickname so I'm wondering what it's Official name is. If you look at it from a certain direction, the top has sort of turned it self around to look over its 'shoulder' at the other mountains, as if it is feeling sad for not getting snow, but that's just my crazy mind thinking. So what's its name? And I think I know how it was made already but I could be wrong, so if you know, put that in to.

Is it worth leaving Kauai to see the volcano on the Big Island while on vacation for 10 days? Is it worth island hopping? It is my husband and 2 year old son traveling. I think most of the lava tour boats won't even take a 2 year old. Do you see a lot just in Volcano National Park?

Somewhere to stay in Oahu other than Waikiki? Hey guys! My friends and I are heading out to Hawaii at the end of the year. We are going to stay in Waikiki for the first three days and do the whole tourist thing, and then head off to Big Island for a few days for the Volcano National Park. Coming back to Oahu, I thought it would be nice to stay somewhere other than on Waikiki again so we can get a fuller experience of the island. It would be nice to stay somewhere less 'touristy' than Waikiki. However we are tourists... so I would like somewhere where there are activities to do close by and where we wouldn't be bothering the locals. We're from Australia by the way, and pretty active. Also enjoy things like shopping, nightlife etc. Thanks!

At Yellowstone National Park do the people there really tell you the volcano will blow in 2012? My friend told me something today about 2012 and she says, "At Yellowstone they tell you the volcano will erupt in 2012." I don't believe her and I strongly disagree about the world ending in 2012 and I have solid scientific evidence from NASA and other good sources that say the world won't end in 2012. Also, didn't I hear, that Geologists don't know when the volcano will blow?? This supervolcano blew about 600,000 years ago and people say it's over due for an eruption. I've never been to Yellowstone, but do they really tell people the volcano is going to blow in 2012? If they do, that's terrible!!!!!!!!! -------- I know you guys are bombarded by this 2012 stuff all the time and so am I and apologize for the 2012 question. So sorry! ----- Also, please don't talk about why or why the world won't end in 2012 because I already know the answer and it's no. I just want to know the answer to ONLY the question. Thank you! See my best answer to this question about 2012: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhFt2bOUAK8k9GiVvw_NWsvty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090304191948AAYXT7Y&show=7#profile-info-tn33qJ4oaa Also, how would people know the world would end? Remember, that asteroid that went through the Earth's atmosphere not that long ago? It came unexpected and nobody knew and if it hit Earth it would be bad and it was the size of a lot a bombs. Like 10 maybe?? Like the nuclear bombs they used in WWII Thank you Oaklatonola.

How many people out there are prepared for the next Yellow Stone Super Volcano? Discovery Channel Special showing a super volcano in Yellowstone National Park that is getting ready to blow its top... the question is... when. No one knows that answer of when, but they have a good idea of how bad it can really be. And there are some people who have never seen that program and no clue that this monster is building energy, waiting, and looming in our horizen and one day could become a world demoniantor, should it happen. <snickering at myself> I'm a victim of my own question, I'm not prepared myself... (rhortically), how do you prepare for something like that?

Can the heat beneath Yellowstone national park be used to generate electricity? Yellowstone is on top of a volcano. I think there is something like uranium or something radioactive far below the park that generates an enourmous amount of heat. I heard that there is a underground lake, filled with melted rock a few miles under the surface. Would it be possible to drill deep oil wells there, but pump oil in and out of these wells and use the hot oil to make steam that would turn a turbine generator? If enough heat is extracted from the ground, could that stop the volcano from erupting?
