The processes taking place in the bowels of the supervolcano are of interest not only to the US population, since in the event of an eruption this giant will change our entire world - once and for all.
The University of Utah has a seismological station that is responsible for tracking seismological activity in Yellowstone Park. Scientists publish monthly reports on the results of the collected observations.
The next report on seismic activity in the supervolcano area for April 2016 reports that 53 earthquakes of various strengths occurred. The strongest was the earthquake that occurred on April 23, the magnitude of which was 2 points on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the tremor was located 5 kilometers from the Norris Geyser Basin. On April 17, a whole series of 11 earthquakes was recorded, with a magnitude of up to 1.5, 10 km from the West Tamb geyser basin.
In addition, a rise in the surface of the earth was recorded in the northern part of the Yellowstone Caldera. It is noted that the trend emerged in early 2016.
