Good morning YouTubers, I hope
you enjoyed your weekend.
Today is Monday, August 15 20th.
Yeah my grandson is here,
my granddaughter daughters here.
Currently is 58 deg there at Yellowstone,
supposed to be a high of 83.
USGS is reporting for earthquakes
for the last 24 hours.
There's been more of course.
The most recent was a magnet to 3.0 using Google Earth.
Here's the location, USGS was a magnitude 2.3 and we'll
bring it out so you can see the area.
Let's see we got Swan Lake up
over here and Canyon Village over here.
That's where they had the sewage problem.
This is the Madison River area.
Hedgehog lake to the left.
And that's the Sour Creek Resurgent Dome.
And then down here would be the mallard.
Lake Resurgent dome.
That's where the live web camera is at.
And then Yellowstone Lake.
You can see at the bottom there
it comes in as a magnitude 3.9.
It occurred at 06:00 a.m.
Local time.
And we'll go with the seismic signature right there.
This earthquake was tectonic in nature but
it did rattle up the magma chamber.
It was in the upper part of the magma chamber.
Here's a view of the magma chamber.
And let's make this larger because where
it was at was up over here.
You can see over here on the right it's got
the depth in kilometers and we'll bring it over.
So you can see we got the Mallard,
Lake Resurgen Dome, the Sour Creek Resurgent Dome,
the Cap of Ryelite, et cetera.
Here's another image of the flow of the magnet.
But up over here would be
the Sour Creek Resurgent Dome.
Here we got the Mallard lake Resurgent Dome.
You can see how the magma is flowing.
And then up towards the Madison River area,
another image showing the depth of the magma.
Now this is only 2 left.
Let me make that bigger and then I'll pull it over.
So 2 km is about 1.4 miles below sea level.
And see the little dots here?
Let me bring it in a little bit more.
This here is the mallard.
Lake Resurgent Dome.
That is the Sour Creek Resurgent Dome.
This is the Madison River area.
There's actually pockets of melt where people are
walking only about 600ft under the surface.
So this 3.0 earthquake was only 3.8 miles below sea
level and it's cracking the rock, making the ground more
brittle to make way for the lava to come through.
It's actually called magma when it's still under
the ground but because it's got that ryelly
top it would probably be an explosive eruption
when it decides to finally erupt, when it
builds up enough pressure for that to happen.
Another image of the magma chamber.
You see we got the different die intrusion
that's coming up and the different pockets of
melt and we got in kilometers here.
Yellowstone still is screaming every so often.
Here you can see we got a blank
spot within the magma that came up.
Yeah, it builds up pressure and then
it pops and the magma rushes through.
Comes up so fast that the equipment can't record it.
Now, this was this morning, just a little
while ago when I downloaded the data.
This would have been at 08:43 A.m. Today.
And go to the spectrogram, see where it's blank.
08:47 A.m..
There's another one right there.
Let's go to the spectrogram, go back to the signature.
08:58 am.
Just before 09:00 am.
There's another one.
Let's go there.
Okay. Over here.
Let me bring it over a little bit.
08:14 A.m..
And then right afterwards, let's bring this over.
We got a small popping of the ground of the rock. Yeah.
Utah says here 1.64 just came in.
Yeah, it gushed through, created more
pressure, more popping of the rock.
And let's extract this.
See rounded tops.
Magma.
That is lava or magma.
Magma on the move, rising up.
Magma naturally wants to rise.
Make it a little bit bigger for you.
All kinds of popping going on.
Yeah, you can just click on different ones and
see where the ground is getting brittler and brittler.
Oh, that's a screw wave.
Yeah, that's a screw wave.
I might be pronouncing it wrong,
but it's called a torlino.
You see that one?
Magma is coming up.
Another term is harmonic tremors.
They called them torlinos before they gave
them the name of harmonic tremors.
It looks like around 07:00 P.m.
Last night.
We probably had three, maybe
4 hours of increased activity.
Let's bring this up.
There's a whole bunch here at Soda Butte marked in red.
I'm off the line. There you go.
I'll just bring it over.
All kinds.
I'm keen to see them there.
Where's this one at?
That's a little one.
There another one right there. Yep.
Can you see all that through there at about 08:57 P.m.?
Yes, there's more.
This is what's called blobs of magma that
was coming into the system at that time.
You can tell by the thickening of the lines
that's their actual scientific term, blobs of magma.
And we'll go over here.
Yeah, look at that.
Harmonic tremors. Yeah.
And it lasted for probably close to an
hour where it was coming into the system.
Makes that little bit bigger for you.
Yeah.
Here's a capture of the west
entrance coming into the park.
Yeah, they're going to be packed today.
And it looks like we got a
meeting going on with geologists, possibly.
We got a park ranger here.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on down there.
They all got their little notepads out.
There's another ranger.
It looks like they're going to be packed today.
And it's Monday, so it's rather surprising how many
people are coming in today not being a weekend.
All right, 1015, which was real interesting here.
So debute.
And you can see it was screaming at that time.
Let me make that bigger.
And there was an earthquake just before that.
So the ground popped, allowed some magma
to come into the system right there.
Let's go to the spectrogram, go back to the signature.
This earthquake is not being reported magnitude 1.64.
That would have been about 05:15 A.m. Today.
This here is Maple Creek monitor.
This here is the borehole for the Madison River area.
And it shows the same
earthquake, about 748 Universal Time.
That would have been at 248 local time.
You can see we got another earthquake.
It's on all three monitors.
So debute the borehole for the Madison
River area and then Maple Creek.
That one comes in as a magnitude 1.75.
And we'll go to the seismic signature.
1.75, 244.
Now, they did report an earthquake at that time.
We got the ball hole in
the center for the Madison River.
Maple Creek on the right and Soda Butte.
Let me show you soda Butte prior
42, two minutes before this earthquake.
Yeah, more screaming out of the volcano when
the rock popped and it brought up magma.
And it was so loud, it couldn't record once again.
So let's make this smaller, and we'll go back to
the three different monitors, say two minutes later, that's when
the magma came in, it popped, gushing in.
This comes in as a magnitude to 1.90.
Let me pull it down a little bit farther.
1.90.
And there's a seismic signature.
Even though the seismic signature really
extended, the magma kept coming in. See that?
If I shorten, the seismic signature
comes in as a magnitude 1.57.
So we'll call it that 1.57.
Also for the Madison River area.
But USGS said it was a 0.7.
Yeah, they took off the 1.57, I'll call it.
But they said it was a zero point 72.
Another earthquake that's not being reported now.
That's universal.
09:00 PM.
Last night.
And once again, we got the popping of the
rock here at Soda Butte, where it screened.
Let me make that bigger. Came in.
Yeah, 200 and 855 seconds.
Almost 209 right there.
Let's extract that rounded tops right there.
Let's make this go down the borehall.
It looks like possibly the largest signature.
I don't know.
Okay, we got the borehole, and then we got Maple Creek.
That's a little one here at Maple Creek, zero point 67.
We'll go to the spectrogram.
That's maple Creek and the
borehole for the Madison river.
It also comes in let me bring it
down as its seismic signature right there.
This is what the borehole was
showing when I pulled the files. Yeah.
See, we got harmonic trimmers at the borehole.
Let me pull it up so you can see it.
Yeah, like I said, I think they got up.
Hopefully it's going to be a small eruption coming.
Yeah, I certainly hope that's the case.
Look at that.
We'll just pull it over.
Continue pulling it over.
Yeah.
And then over here also.
This is what it was showing.
When I get this, let me grab that.
Yeah, it's currently at 10:26 A.m..
This is the swarm or stream view.
The bottom one here is so debut.
I don't have this earthquake on there.
This one here is Maple Creek and this one here at
the top is the borehole for the Madison River area.
Yeah, interesting.
Now it's screaming on the rocks pop.
So there must be a lot of pressure down
there pushing this magma up and that's why I
feel that there's going to be an eruption.
Who knows when they got that riot
light top holding all the gases in.
Yeah, but it's still showing the same activity and
it has never done this in all the years
that I've been watching what's going on at Yellowstone.
Never done this before.
This is all new.
So here's Little West thumb that it was showing.
I didn't download its files because
I know that it's screaming there.
This is where they got that crack
at the bottom of the lake.
And you can see between that same time frame
of 08:00 last night and onward for one, two,
3 hours, it was also doing it screaming there's.
Grant Village.
That's an interesting signature right there.
I bet you it was screaming Horse Butte.
Now I'm wondering if the magma, the current flow
of magma isn't coming in from the Snake River
plateau because Horse Butte is closer to that area.
And you can see here that it was showing
the signs of the magma coming in before all
the way over there at Little West.
It's really active today but yeah.
Anyway, we'll keep an eye on this.
This is looking at the Upper Geyser
basin looking down into the valley there.
Yes, look at that.
Anyway, should be any thoughts or comments,
their questions, put them down below.
Keep prepping.
Please stay safe and I'll talk to you later.
God bless you. Bye.
