Yellowstone thermal spring erupts for 4th time in 60 years
https://www.yahoo.com/news/yellowstone-thermal-spring-erupts-4th-time-60-years-205633388.html
BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — A thermal spring near Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park has erupted for the fourth time in the last 60 years, a park official said Thursday.
Ear Spring on Yellowstone's Geyser Hill went from being dormant on Saturday to spewing steam and water between 20 and 30 feet (6 and 9 meters) high, a height not recorded since 1957, said park spokesman Neal Herbert. It has since continued to erupt at a near-constant height of about 2 feet (0.6 meters), he said.
Ear Spring, named for its resemblance to the shape of a human ear, is one of dozens of geysers, pools and hot springs in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin — among the park's top attractions that feature the popular Old Faithful. It last erupted in 2004.
The eruption is among the new thermal activity seen over the last several days on Geyser Hill, just across the Firehole River from Old Faithful.
The activity includes new erupting vents and surface fractures, and it has led park officials to close a boardwalk in the popular Upper Geyser Basin to prevent people from being injured by scalding water splashing on the popular boardwalk trail.
Yellowstone's thermal basins sometimes undergo significant changes in short amounts of time, but the new eruptions are not a sign of impending volcanic activity, Herbert said.
The changes are continuing and could lead to new or different closures in the basin, he said.
"It's still in flux," Herbert said. "There is still water flowing in new places and some of the springs that had been dormant have been erupting nearly constantly."
Ear Spring isn't the first dormant geyser to come to life this year. In March, the world's largest active geyser began the first in a series of eruptions for the first time since 2014.
Steamboat geyser's eruptions can reach heights of 300 to 400 feet (91 meters to 122 meters), compared to Old Faithful's 130-foot (40-meter) average.

Yellowstone VOLCANO LATEST: Geysers shooting ROCKS and steam - thermal activity INCREASES
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1020357/yellowstone-volcano-eruption-geysers-earthquake-thermal-activity
YELLOWSTONE’S Upper Geyser Basin is showing increased signs of thermal activity, after hot plumes of water erupted from the ground several feet up in the air, forcing authorities to shut down parts of the park over fear of new geysers forming.
Yellowstone volcano: Old Faithful geyser erupts with steam
New vents were seen blasting water and steam across the basin area in Geyser Hill, ever since the Ear Spring erupted on Saturday.
Authorities have attributed the rise in geothermal activity to Saturday's eruption, after several new surface fractures and splashes of water were spotted at the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park.
On Tuesday, spouts of water shot from the ground west of Pump Geyser and north of Sponge Geyser, also ejecting large amounts of hot steam.
The new feature, which is eight-foot diameter, continues to show increased signs of activity after geologists observed the ground rising and falling by six inches every 10 minutes.
Geologists have also observed new geysering and boiling at hot spring Doublet Pool and North Goggles Geyser, located in the Upper Geyser Basin.
Officials have warned visitors to beware of new eruptions and have closed down several parts of the basin as they continue to study the rare change in the area's activity.
On Saturday, Ear Spring erupted plumes of water up to 30 feet in the air, endangering visitors as debris and rocks flew into the sky.
The last known eruption on that scale occurred in 1957, though several smaller eruptions were observed in 2004.

Ear Spring is one of the hottest pools in Yellowstone National Park and contains water above the boiling point up to 200 degrees.
Geyser Hill lies across the Firehole River from Old Faithful and features dozens of hot springs, geysers and fumaroles.
Authorities believe the change in hydrothermal activity in the area could bring a rise to new geysers or cause further road blocks over fears thermally heated grounds will expand.
Activity in Upper Geyser Basin will not have a direct impact on other geysers, such as the famous Old Faithful.

However, geologists say the new geothermal eruptions are common occurrences, and will not bring rise to new volcanic activity.
The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory said: "Changes in Yellowstone's hydrothermal features are common occurrences and do not reflect changes in activity of the Yellowstone volcano.
"Shifts in hydrothermal systems occur only the upper few hundred feet of the Earth's crust and are not directly related to movement of magma several kilometres deep. There are no signs of impending volcanic activity.
"There has been no significant increase in seismicity nor broad-scale variations in ground movement."

Experts have warned earthquakes at Yellowstone are more likely to occur than volcanic eruptions.
Michael Poland, the chief scientist in charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory said: “The biggest concern we have for Yellowstone is not with the volcano, it’s with earthquakes.
“This is an under-appreciated hazard in the Yellowstone area. There can and will be in the future magnitude 7 earthquakes.”
The US National Parks Service said: “Yellowstone commonly experiences ‘earthquake swarms’ – a series of earthquakes over a short period of time in a localised area.

Huge chunk of Yellowstone National Park, the size of Chicago,
is 'breathing' in and out due to magma trapped underneath the surface
An area at the center of the Norris Geyser Basin was found to inflate and deflate
Experts have determined a intrusion of magma under the surface is to blame
Magma became trapped at the top and pushed the rocks up above it
The magma has since receded, putting the pulsating on pause for now
By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 10:22 EDT, 20 March 2020
An area the size of Chicago in Yellowstone National Park has been inflating and deflating by several inches over the past decade
The Norris Geyser Basin, the oldest, hottest and most dynamic thermal area in the park, was observed to rise 5.9 inches each year from 2013 to 2015 - an unusual event that left researchers baffled.
Now, using satellite radar and GPS data, experts have determined the ground deformation was caused by magma intrusions trapped below the basin's surface.
As magma made its way to the surface, the pressure pushed rocks above it up and created an erratic pulsating effect, according to National Geographic.
This is the first time the scientific community has been able to track an entire episode of magma intrusion, which they say is a common occurrence throughout Yellowstone.

Yellowstone National Park sits in the northwest region of Wyoming and is home to bursting geysers, steam vents and bubbling pools.
At 3,472 square miles, the park is larger than the states of Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
Most of the land is in Wyoming, but some of the park spills over into Montana and Idaho.
Below the park is a 'supervolcano' that scientists believe last erupted some 640,000 years ago, but the new study shows there is still magma flowing beneath the surface.
As the magma made its way to the surface, the pressure pushed the rocks up above it and created an erratic pulsating effect
The uplift at Norris Geyser first began in 1996, but came to halt between 2013 and 2014 after a magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck the area.
Following the natural event, the ground started to sink back to its natural depth.
However, data shows that the rise began again in 2016 and continued two years after – researches believe it has paused for now.
Dan Dzurisin, one of the study authors, wrote in the study: 'Modeling...suggests the 1996–2004 uplift was caused by an intrusion of magma about 14 km [8.7 miles] beneath Norris.'
'When magma intrudes the crust it cools, crystallizes, and releases gases that had been dissolved in the melt.
'Gas escape lowers pressure in the magma, causing the surface to subside... But rising gases can become trapped under an impermeable layer of rock, causing the kind of rapid uplift seen at Norris from late 2013 until the [magnitude] 4.9 earthquake in March 2014.'
'It seems likely the quake created microfractures that allowed gases to escape upward again, resulting in subsidence that ended in 2015.
'The third uplift episode from 2016 to 2018 suggests rising gases became trapped again, this time at a slightly shallower depth.'
Dzurisin also noted in the study that this type of activity is common throughout the park and does not send off any alarm bells, Newsweek reported.
'For the first time, we've been able to track an entire episode of magma intrusion, degassing, and gas ascent to the near-surface. For those in the know, like you, that's awesome—not alarming,' he explained.
These finding have also led researches to clues about Steamboat Geyser's (pictured) increase in activity over the past two years. It 47 times this year – compared to the 32 times in 2018
These finding have also led researches to clues about Steamboat Geyser's increase in activity over the past two years.
'Frequent eruptions of Steamboat Geyser since March 2018 are likely a surface manifestation of this ongoing process,' reads the study.
'Hydrothermal explosion features are prominent in the Norris Geyser Basin area, and the apparent shallow nature of the volatile accumulation implies an increased risk of hydrothermal explosions.'
The Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming erupted 47 times this year – compared to the 32 times in 2018.
Scientists speculated that the eruptions are related to heavy snows in Yellowstone, which created more groundwater to feed geysers and hot springs.
Steamboat has the accolade as the world's largest geyser but is somewhat overshadowed by the fame and popularity of Old Faithful in the national park.
Erin White, Yellowstone National Park's hydrologist, told NPR: 'In the 1960s, there was another period where there were more than 20 eruptions per year.'
'Prior to that, there were dormant periods of more than 50 years.'
Steamboat – which can shoot water more than 300 feet into the air - broke a record in August when it erupted for the 33rd time.
And just when experts thought it could not get any better, the geyser shot off 14 more times, bringing the total number of eruptions this year to 47, according to the US Geological Survey.
Prior to this year's record the giant geyser had laid dormant, which is why scientists have been baffled by its recent numerous bursts of hot water and steam.

Yellowstone's Giantess Geyser erupts for first time in 6 years, roars 'back to life'
https://www.foxnews.com/science/yellowstone-giantess-geyser-erupts-for-first-time-in-6-years-roars-back-to-life?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20foxnews%2Fscitech%20%28Internal%20-%20SciTech%20-%20Mixed%29
Yellowstone National Park geyser erupts after 6 years of dormancy
After a slumber that stretched for more than six years, a geyser at Yellowstone National Park erupted once again last week.
The national park said Tuesday that Giantess Geyser, one of its large geysers, "roared back to life" after more than six and a half years of dormancy.
The Giantess Geyser, which is located in Wyoming, historically erupted two to six times per year, according to the National Park Service (NPS).
According to the park service website, "infrequent but violent" eruptions characterize Giantess Geyser.
An eruption from the fountain-type geyser can cause the surrounding area to shake from underground steam explosions just before the initial eruptions.
Eruptions may occur twice hourly, and continue for four to 48 hours, according to the NPS. When the geyser erupts, it typically shoots a stream that is 100-200 feet high.
Yellowstone’s geysers are getting more active and nobody knows why
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said Saturday that Giantess Geyser used to erupt more frequently in the past.
The six-year gap between eruptions was the longest since at least the 1980s, but the geyser has had years-long dormant periods before, according to the agency.
"Why geysers turn off and on is something that is not well understood," the USGS tweeted. "They are very fragile systems."

Daily Express: Yellowstone volcano rocked by record number of earthquakes as USGS forecasts 'increase'.
Yellowstone volcano rocked by record number of earthquakes as USGS forecasts 'increase'
YELLOWSTONE volcano experienced more than 1,000 earthquakes last month - a four-year record high that the US Geological Survey (USGS) said will "likely increase" in the coming days.
After a period of intense seismic activity, the USGS has published its monthly report for the Yellowstone National Park and volcano. Stretching across a 43 by 28 mile section of the Western United States, the supervolcano is one of the nation's most seismically active regions. The Yellowstone volcano has also been the site of three cataclysmic eruptions that are estimated to have gone off about 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 640,000 years ago.
The eruptions covered vast swathes of the US in a layer of volcanic ash and should that happen today, the fallout would likely disrupt climate patterns and affect global food production.
The eruptions have also falsely led many to believe Yellowstone erupts like clockwork every 600,000 to 700,000 years and that we are overdue for another blast.
And though geologists have assured us time and time again this is not the case, fears about the volcano violently awakening persist.
The latest report from the USGS might do little to dull the concerns as it confirms 1,008 earthquakes were detected in the Yellowstone National Park region in July 2021.
The earthquakes were all recorded by the Yellowstone Seismic Network, which is maintained by the University of Utah.

Very little has been said about the two resurgent domes and what plume is causing the uplift. In 2018 it was reported by two researching from the University of Texas that a magma plume possible existed coming from Mexico!
The newest magma chamber has enough melted magma to fill the Grand Canyon 11 and 1/2 times.

up-tic in seismic activity
Big earthquake activity showing on many stations of yellowstone park.
Was just checking my weblinks in the earthquake section this caught my attention:
Probably magma movement underground...

Today's Activity

Today's Activity - 2022 - Mirror Lake - Yellowstone Park, WY looks intense
To see if any quakes occurred near a certain spot on the seismogram, just click the center of the trace line close to the event of interest. If any quakes were recorded between three minutes before your click and thirty seconds after it, they'll show up on the report. Just remember: quakes can go unreported for three or four days, depending on when they get around to them.
Wonder if the GEOMAGNETIC STORM is affecting all of these volcanos ( Lake Taupo New Zealand, Hawaii's Kilauea/Mauna Loa, Yellowstone.. perhaps even La Palma): Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are likely on Dec. 2nd when a stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing from a canyon-like hole in the sun's atmosphere.
