Nice!!
Thank you. This channel makes the world a better place. I enjoy all the science that comes with it.
Oh look people, Earth has a zit and it's full of water! lol
I look forward to these updates every month. Thanks Mike and Team!
It’s only tornadoes🌪️ hurricane, tsunami earthquake
It’s only tornadoes🌪️
It’s only tornadoes🌹😮
It’s never gonna come
That’s not snow that’s volcanic ash😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
It was great to meet you, Mike, and thanks for taking time to share really cool information with us about the monitoring going on. If only Steamboat had erupted for us while you were there talking to us.
When I was there in 2013, I barely dodged a spitball from one of the Artists' Paintpots. You do have to keep your eyes open, there!
Woah! Well, if you want to relive your close call, you can always check out our Artists' Paintpots ASMR video (no eyes will be harmed watching it) kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJiar9mvddnRj84.html
Can we get a several year animation of Earthquake activity and discussion? That would be cool
Great suggestion! We created and uploaded an animated GIF showing patterns of seismicity by year during 2017-2023. You can find that at www.usgs.gov/media/images/animation-annual-yellowstone-seismicity-2017-2023. The number of quakes fluctuates, mostly due to the occurrence of large swarms (which show up really well on the maps as tight clusters of numerous small earthquakes). Swarms are mostly caused by groundwater interacting with preexisting faults (which are plentiful throughout the region). The numbers of earthquakes each year are 2017 - 3,427 2018 - 2,007 2019 - 1,218 2020 - 1,722 2021 - 2,773 2022 - 2,429 2023 - 1,623 We'll see about doing a "caldera chronicles" article on this topic (that's our weekly article about some aspect of Yellowstone geology/activity, accessible at www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/yellowstone/caldera-chronicles and USGSVolcanoes social media channels). Thanks for the idea of the topic and graphic!
Just think, though...it will keep the genius's away from the bison herds !! 🙃
There lots of self-deluded "geniuses" around there. Which one did you mean, and it will keep his _what_ away?
@@borismedved835 I think that was a "typo". But you correct that Yellowstone has a lot self-deluded "geniuses", and when they leave the park, other self-deluded "geniuses" are there within minutes to take their place. I used to work in YP and we always called them Tourons, and the joke explanation for that was _"They're Half Tourist and Half Moron, but not necessarily in those proportions."_
@@Bigfoot-px9gj Yes, the Tourons...and they are here in droves already. RV's and four wheelers. Time to hide out.
Dipped into the hot springs in Thermopolis WY. Had a raging eye infection until it was treated. Warm water+humans+wildlife wastes= microbe party!
always informative and entertaining as well.
Gracias ❤
About 20 years ago, I had the momentary impulse to taste a drop of the water from Old Faithful to find out how the taste was affected by the volcanic minerals and gasses. Over the next two days, I experienced the worst bout of amoebic dysentery of my life, so far. Imagine swimming in that water while avoiding becoming home to any of those heat loving microbes.
Thanks for the report.
No playing whale in that pool 🤣🤣🤣
3 words. brain eating amoeba
Great report. Thank you.

In early 1960, an eruption suddenly broke up out of the ground in Kapoho, the location of the many earthquake cracks shown at the start of this clip. This eruption destroyed the town of Kapoho in addition to wiping out Warm Springs, a scenic spot nearby which can be seen in the map shown at 1:32. Nature in the raw is seldom mild.
Thank you for the video! Learned alot! Frank
Some 'bad business' happening back then! Lol
Lived mauka Kalapana in a shack for years.
Beautifully put together. Mahalo ❤
I worked at Lake Lodge many many summers ago. Tourists: please take care of it.
Wild fact- May 18th 1924 a man by the last name of Truman was killed by a volcano. Then EXACTLY 56 years later- May 18th 1980 a man by the last name of Truman was killed by a volcano.😮
What to learn from this - if your last name is Truman, do not approach volcanoes.
Uncanny how history repeats its self 😮
Wow,nice video!😊
If 710 to 640 million years ago, the earth was a snowball. Was there a giant supercontinent under the ice, and where was it in comparison to Yellowstone? Plus, when Yellowstone last erupted 640 million years ago, was it under ice and water? If so, why have I never heard this? I've watched 100s of documentaries on Yellowstone throughout my life and have never heard it was under ice and water on a snowball earth. Peace and Ahev
You are mixing up different timescales the eruption in question from Yellowstone was 640 thousand years not million that is 3 orders of magnitude different.
Yellowstone's most recent caldera-forming eruption was 631,000 years ago. There was no ice covering the area at the time. Lava flow eruptions have happened when the region was glaciated, however -- about 130,000-150,000 years ago. Some of the lava flows that erupted during this time (www.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/news/lotta-lava-new-insights-timing-yellowstones-most-recent-rhyolite-eruptions) show signs of having interacted with ice, and there is evidence that glacial lakes might have been present in the region at various times. More information about Yellowstone's glacial history is at www.usgs.gov/news/yellowstones-icy-past.
@usgs thanks for answering me. I see what I did. I was reading about snowball earth, then pangea, which made me think about Yellowstone, and all I saw was 640. I had millions on my mind. Lol. Thank you for taking the time to point out my mistake. Peace and Ahev
@@usgs Isn't ice what makes volcanism on Iceland form steeper features? Normally Icelandic volcanoes form shields, but around the recent eruptions there are some steep and tall features. I imagine that happens when the lava extrusion is under a glacier which cools the lava rapidly and makes it deposit closer to the eruption site.
@@HotelPapa100 Yes indeed! subglacial eruptions can generate a lot of ashy debris, called hyaloclastite, and lead to steeper features once the ice melts. These are called tuyas, and you can find them all over Iceland, as well as in British Columbia (Canada)!
Very interesting. I can't believe how close some of the people were standing to an active erupting volcano!
And we still do! It's a magical sight to witness.
Amen ... did the helicopter flight looking down in the cone seeing the molten lava ... pouring slowly through the pods as grew and moved down to the sea. As you say ... a magical ... mystical experience. What meaning is there ... but the obvious. The Force behind Creation ... TAINT FINISHED ... and so I have a choice of FITTING only in the NOW.
Thank you so much❤ Really neat to hear the story😊
Wonderful retrospective from a legendary figure. I remember being able to walk into the Kilauea caldera and overlook the Halemaumau crater the first time I visited the volcano park and wondering if I would live long enough to see another eruption there. I have many fond memories of visiting the Jagger museum and enjoying the amazing view from the rim’s edge.
Kilauea's sort of bipolar nature is fascinating. Thanks for this!
Wow, very interesting to hear from 100 years ago what the volcano was doing! The gentleman narrating was very descriptive, it was easy to imagine what was happening.
Seems intentional. DEW’s?
What? No! That's normal in Hawaii, or any volcano when water meets magma.
@@sigisoltau6073 “Normal” since 1850.
@@HDPersonal777 Where did you come with that date? Specifically? These kinds of phreatic eruptions can happen on any volcano whenever water comes into contact with magma. Both after and before 1850 since the earth, volcanoes and water have existed for over 4 billion years.
@@sigisoltau6073 Where is your proof? Real proof? Besides someone saying that timeline based on no facts. Maybe you should research silicone vs. carbon eras, etc.
@@HDPersonal777 Really? You're asking me for proof? Shouldn't you provide proof for your claim about 1850? Or that these DEW existed back then. Or that they were used to start volcanic eruptions. Let's see. There's radiometric and potassium-argon dating that shows the earth is billions of years old. In rock layers we can see evidence of lava flows and pyroclastic deposits. Both are evidence that volcanic eruptions have been going on long before 1850.
Kilauea has a history of deadly explosive eruptions with deadly pyroclastic flows … Google several hundred Hawaiian warriors killed by Kilauea pyroclastic flow .
I read about that, kind of fluke if I recall.
@@melodiefrances3898 No fluke … Scientists have recently been digging around Kilauea and have new evidence that pyroclastic events as they like to call it have happen several times . .. The history is there for geologist to discover in the layers .
Wonderfully compiled archival images and audio. Thank you, USGS!
In your opening you refered to the old question,if no one's around does it make a noise. Actually if no ear drums (or microphone) is there to convert the waves into sound, then answer is NO, noise or sound waves must be converted before the compression wave is "heard".
Hmmm... maybe it's just me, but the title says on the cover USGS "Volcano and Earthquake Monitoring Plan for the Yellowstone Caldera System 2022-2032" yet further down the cover is printed "Scientific Investigations Report 2022-5032". Is the USGS planning for 3000 years into the future out to "5032". I can see planning for 10 years out to 2032, but 5032?
That’s the publication ID that number you’re referring to.
What is the temperature of the water when it comes out? I would have thought the people would be scalded.
Why do nearly all geologists adhere to a timeline that goes against the Bible? What is the motivation, incentive, or assumptions that cause that hubris? Is it because you want to gain knowledge for yourselves apart from God?
Why do all Christians assume theirs is the only right religion when there’s over 3000 of them in the world. If science followed a particular religion then it would be biased which is the exact opposite of what science needs to be…impartial.
Thank you very much, Mike. Climbed St. Helens in 1976 with my Dad. A wonderful memory.
We'd like to see the current monitoring efforts for MSH, too! :)
That's the best monitored volcano in the Cascade Range! You can see a map of monitoring stations at www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mount-st.-helens. Click on any of the sites to see the data!
Lol they said the water is wet too. 🤔 The only words aren't good...
Always an interesting update, and great for keeping REAL information on social media to combat the alarmist mis-informers. When I see Mike on a thumbnail, I click, and am never disappointed.
Wait, what? Mt St Helens is only about 4000 years old??
File that under "strange but true." Volcanism has been occurring in the region for 275,000 years, but the mountain we know today only started growing about 3900 years ago. More info on that at www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mount-st.-helens/science/holocene-activity-prior-may-18-1980-eruption.
tnks mike!
This is from a government agency. Do you think the USGS can be trusted?
I like that hoodie
