We have been studying plate movements and how it relates to volcanoes. How do scientist know that the plates are moving? What tools do they use to measure the changes at Yellowstone National Park? What has recently been happening at Yellowstone? Is this something new or has it been happening before? How is this linked to the hot springs and geysers? Read the article and watch the video to find out. Give us your thoughts based upon the evidence.
Yellowstone Uplift

1 – 200 of 204 Newer› Newest»Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellow Stone is uprising 2.8 inches a year. They use a GPS and InSAR. Yellow Stone has recently been decreasing its rate in uplifting. This has been happening before. This is linked to the hot springs and geysers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geysers to erupt. I think that Yellow Stone will erupt eventully because of the rapid uprising and magma.
In the beginning of 2004, scientists saw the ground above the caldera rise upward at rates as high as 2.8 inches a year but in between 2007 and 2010 the rate slowed down to a centimeter or less a year. They used a gps and InSAR. The rate of uplifting decreased. It's been happening. Hot magma is sitting at the top of the volcanoe which is causeing the hot springs and geysers to erupt

Sydney, how do you know this has happened before?
I think the volcano will erupt but not as bad as a super volcano...
YELLOWSTONE IS UPRISING 2.8 INCHES A YEAR. GPS AND INSAR. IT DECREASED IS RATE IN UPLIFTING. IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING BEFORE. THE HOT MAGMA IS SITTING AT THE TOP OF THE VOLCANO SO IT IS MAKING GEYERS AND HOT SRPINGS ERUPT.
Ethan Mercurio
Madison, Why do you think for the past couple years the rate of uprising has decresed from 2.8 inches a year to a centimeter or less a year.
Scientists know that the plates are moving due to the fact that we have earthquakes and the entire theory of Continental Drift is true. They use the richter scale to measure earthquakes and seismographs to record any changes, thermometers to measure the temp of hot springs, and a helicopter to look at any visible changes in the land. The ground rose 10 in., there is movement in the magma, and some more earthquakes. No this has happened before many times. Magma heats up hot spring causig them to boil and geysers are heated with magma to the point of shooting up in the air. If the magma is farther from the spring or geser, the spring will lose temp. and geysers will cool and shrink eruption size. If the magma is closer to a spring/geyser they will increase in temperature and/or shoot higher in the air. Based on the measurements I say we are due soon for a SUPERERUPTION!!!! D: Once this happens read the Supervolcano blog. But because the animals arent trying to get away from the park its still safe. Probably not in our lifetimes but soon...
They use satileite images to see the plates moving.To see the ground rising they use GPS and inSAR. The magma has rose
10cm. It has happened before but it eventuly goes back down before rising again. The magma in the mantle is heating the Geysers and making them erupt.
i agree with Debrah i dont think the erution will be as bad as the supervolcano but it will erput.
plates are uprising 2.8 inches. They use seismographs to study the changes. The ground lowered. This has happened before. There is a magma chamber 4 miles beneath the surface.
Brendan Mcwilliams
Madison. I know this has happened before because in 2007 to 2010 the rate slowed down to a centimeter or less a year. What do you think this means ? will Yellowstone erupt?
the scientets know that the plates are moving because there was an uprising of 9 cm and they used a satalite images what have been appearing at yellowstone is an up rising or a rising in the ground it has been happening for alot. this islinked to the hot springs and gizers my thoughts are that this is definate evidace of a supervolcaos
They now the plates are moving because they move 2.8 centimeters a year. They use a sisemagraph to measure the volcanoe.
Ted young
The reason for a decreased rate of uprising is because magma is on the move. Moving somewhere else so now the enpty part of the chamber is settling.
Scientists have found that there is a 7 centimeter per year rise in ground at yellowstone. Tools they use include global postioning systems and interferometric synthetic aperture radar, which gives ground-deformation measurements. Recently the ground has been rising due to magma movement under the surface of the ground. The ground has been rising and falling for thousands of years, so this has been happening before. This is related to the hot springs and geysers because the hot magma is at the top of the magma chamber, so it will cause the hot springs and geysers to erupt. I believe that the volcano will someday erupt. But not anytime soon.
sean, why do you think there will be a supervolcano? the results the scientist say it's not going to be serious...
We can tell the plates are moving because the continets are moving every year and the plates are chaniging positions. We use the semsigraph and the tools for earthquakes. Recently yellow stone the magma has been moving and the chamber has been moving. yes it has happened before a couple million yers ago. When the volcaneo try to realse gas it uses the hot springs and gysers to realse it.
Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches a year.At Yellowstone they use an InSAR and GPS to measur ethe changes. Yellowstone has recently been decreasing the uplift rate. This is linked to hot springs and geyers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyers to erupt. I believe that Yellowstone will eruptin the future because of the rapid uprising and magma.
scientist know the plates are moving because yellowstone is rising up 2.8 inches a year. They use a gps and an inSAR. The rate of uplifting is going down. This has happened before. The magma sitting at the top of the volcano is causing the hot springs and geysers to erupt.I think that yellowstone is going to erupt some day.
@ Sydney:
How do you know this has happened before???
i agree with shaun we can tell thats it moving because of the recent earthquakes.
Sydney, I think the rate of uprising has decreased because since of about 30 small eruptions it has caused the caldera to fill with ash and lava, the ground above the caldera, beginning in 2004, rose upward at a rate of 2.8 inches, but now since the swelling has slowed the rate has also decreased to less than a centimeter.
Scientists know that the plates are moving because they have discivered that Yellowstone is rising about 2.8 inches a year. For measuring the changes they use a inSAR and a GPS. Yellowstone has been decreasing it's rate for uplifting. This has been happeneing before. This is linked to the hot springs and geysers because the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyers to erupt. Since the magma is increasing rapidly I think that Yellowstone will eventually erupt.
yellowston national park was founded in 1872 congress made the worlds first national park.yellowstone national park is larger than rhode island and delaware and is home to 4000 bison.yellowstone also is home to over 7000 different species of mammals in yellowstone which include caribu elk bison and grey wolf.grey wolf numberds werer droping so in 1995 they tried to repopulate the aera and it has benn a sucess.the wolves are good also because they keep the caribu and bison numbers down.
Adam Lyons
Sean i think they would use satilite to see the changes instead of a helicopter. because satilite can see the little changes. a helicopter could be used to see bigger changes.
Brendan Mcwilliams
If you realize that there is a Caldera about 3x the size of Lake Michigan it should be so if the magma formed some composite magma (explosive magma) Odds are it will erupt into a volcano, like in the movie if even one eruption occurs it would cause an even larger eruption to occur.
the scientist know because the ground is risung 2.8 inches inches a year.the tools thay use are a GPS and a inSAR.yellowstone is decreasing their rate in uplifting.it has happened before though.it is connected to the geysers and hot springs because they are heated by magma that is at the top of an volcano.
Since the uprising decreased in the past few years do you think Yellowstone will erupt?? If so, when??
because of volcanoes and earthquakes. they use gps, inSAR wich gives you ground deformation measurements. i think whats happening at yellowstone now has happened before 6000 years ago when it last erupted. i think that if it does erupt it will effect the whole world.
YAHANZ VELASQUEZ^
They use satileite images to see the plates moving.To see the ground rising they use GPS and inSAR. The magma has rose
10cm. It happened before but it eventuly goes back down before rising again. The magma in the mantle is heating the Geysers and making them erupt.
~Daniel O'Hearn~
Brendan its the exact opposite, Helicopters are used to see the little changes sattillites are used to see the big changes, Sattilittes can only zoom in so far. Helicopters you just need a co-pilot to look down through Binoculars.
SEAN LAKE, HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS ERUPTION WILL BE LARGER
yahanz velasquez
The plates are changing position. seismographs. magma has been moving the ground around yellowstone national park. It has occured before. The magma cauldron under the land which triggers the geysers and hot springs.
i agree with sydney keiser. >
Yellowstone National Park was founded in 1872. It was the world's first Nationa Park. Yellowstone is bigger than Rhode Island and Delaware put together.It is home to over 4,000 bison and has over 7,000 different spicies of mammals including bison, grey wolves, and elk. In the beginning of 2004, scientists saw the ground above the caldera rise upward at rates as high as 2.8 inches a year but in between 2007 and 2010 the rate slowed down to a centimeter or less a year.
george you have alot of the same facts as me they are good facts
Adam Lyons
Deborah,
I agree with you that I think Yellowstone will erupt but just not as bad as a super volcano, and it also may not erupt for a while because the uplifting rate has been decreasing from 2.8 inches per year to now a centimeter or less per year.
helicopters sway and you cant get an accurate measure and people can often make mistakes.
Brendan Mcwilliams
I agree with drew this is evidence of a super volcanoe
tedyoung
I agree with Adam because he is right about the date being 1872 when they made Yellowstone the first National Park.
i agree with madison that this is definate evidence of a super volcanos because of the rapid uprising
Im just talking proportionatly Yahanz if a the Caldera erupted 3x the size of Lake Michigan and this magma chamber is even larger than Mt. St. Helens' chamer, what would you think?
i agree with tony i belive it happened 2 million years ago
The Helicopter would sway, if the stabilizers were broken, normally they are not. Brendan I still disagree with the fact that Sattilittes are used to get the smaller details.
They use satileite images to see the plates moving.To see the ground rising they use GPS. The magma has rose 10cm. It happened before but it eventuly goes back down before rising again. The magma in the mantle is heating the Geysers and making them erupt.
I think The volcanoe will erupt soon but i dont think it will be a super erurtion
I agree with madison because i think that is going to erupt again.
I change my mind about thinking there wont be a super eruption. I think there could be a super eruption because like in the video one eruption could trigger more eruptions.
scientists know that the plate are moving because the the caldera rise upward at about 2.8 inches which is 7 centimeters a year. the tools that they use to measure the changes are GPS and inSAR. these give ground-deformation measurements.recently the rate slowed down between 2007 and 2010 to a centimeter or less each year. even with that, since the start of all the swelling the ground over the volcano has been raised to about 10 inches. thats 25 cenimeters! bob smith, a longtime expert in yellowstone volcanism says that its an extrodinary uplift since it covers such a large area and the rates are so high. this has been happening before. this is linked to quakes not hot springs and geysers because big quakes can have a relationship to uplift and deformations caused by the intrusion of magma.
The scientist know that the plates are moving because the caldera is rising up. Its moving about 2.8 inches a year. They used G.P.S and inSar. Yellowstone's caldera is rising up. It has rising before but is hasnt actully exploded yet. I thought that the video really helped me understand a little bit more about yellowstone and what is going on with it.
thousand more powerful than Mount St. Helens's 1980 eruption three times in the past it has eruptYellowstone's caldera, which covers a 25 by 37mile 40 by 60kilometer swath of Wyominged
Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellow Stone is uprising 2.8 inches a year.They used a gps and InSAR. The rate of uplifting decreased. This has happening before.This is linked to hot springs and geyers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyers to erupt.I think that Yellow Stone will erupt eventully because of the rapid uprising and magma.
earthqueakes and sisemographs show movment of the earths plates. they use siesographs at yellowstone to measure the earth quakes. lots of earth quakes happen at yellowstone.earth queaks happen all the time at yellowstone. earthquakes can cause eruptions to go off.
Sean i aggre with you i think a supererruption will happen but not in our life time but soon sean how soon do you think it will happen
Deborah,
I agree with you that I think Yellowstone will erupt but just not as bad as a super volcano, because of the decrease of rate in uplifting.
Scientist know that the plates because yellowstone uprises 2.8in each year.They use a gps and inSAR to measure the movement.Yellowstones uplifting rate has decreased.This has happned before.It is linked to the magma causing the geysers and hot spirngs to erupt.I think that yellowstone will erupt mabye now or in the future.
I agree with Madison Schnell.I also think that yellowstone will erupt eventully because of the upriseing magma.
Scientists know for sure that the plates are moving because Yellowstone uprises 2.8 inches a year with GPS and INSAR. Recently, Yellowstone has been decreasing at an alarming rate in uplifting, but this has happened before so they atleast know what to dc. This decreasing is linked to the hot springs and geysers by the hot magma at the topn of Yellowstone volcanoes, which causes the hot springs and geysers to erupt. Yellowstone will erupt soon because of the rapid uprising magma.
They know this because it moves 2.8inches a year.They use a GPS and INSR. Yellowstone has recently been decreasing its up lifting. This has happened befor so its not odd for it to do that.
Scientists have found that there is a 7 centimeter per year rise in ground at yellowstone. They use a GPS and InSAR. Yellow Stone has recently been decreasing its rate in uplifting. Yellowstone has recently been decreasing the uplift rate. This is linked to hot springs and geyers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyers to erupt.
~Kailey Carter~
Scientists know that plates are moving because Yellowstone is rising 2.8 inches per year. They use a GPS and InSAR. The InSAR gives ground deformation measurements. Magma has been rising and the ground has been rising and falling for a thousand years. This is linked to the hot springs and geysers because the closer magma causes them to erupt. I think that we still have a long time until Yellowstone erupts, and until then it will continue its patterns like normal. I'm not a scientist, but I am pretty sure it will erupt.
Posted by Sam Tendam
Yellowstone rises about 2.8 inches per year. Scientists use a GPS and an InSAR to measure the changes at Yellowstone. Recently, the uplift rate at Yellowstone has been going down. This has happened before. The magma was is at the top of the volcano which causes the geysers and hot springs to erupt. I think Yellowstone will erupt but not for awhile
I was wondering the same thing. I said it has happened before but i dont know how i know this. hopefully well find the answer.
The saw parts of the crust above the caldara are moving at a rate of 2.8 inches a year. They use GPSes and InSAR. They "Burp" creating a hydrothermal explosions. this has been happening for 15,000 years. The earthquakes in Yellowstone each year may offer even more clues about the relationship between ground uplift and the magma chamber.
Deborah, I agree, I think Yellowstone will erupt, but I dont think it would be nearly as bad as a supervolvano. I think it would be just like any other eruption.
Sydney Keiser<3 I agree with you because Yellowstone has been rising 2.8 inches a year. :DD
@ Sean Laake:
Why do you tink that the lava is on the move. Please tell me youre reasoning, because i did not remember reading that. It could be possible, maybe a tunnel thing opened and it's just draining out, but I want to know where you found this info.
Sam Tendam
the scientists know because the ground keeps moving because of contentintal driftand uprising 2.8inches a year. they use a insar and a GPS to measure yellow stone. recently yellowstone the uprising is decreasing. this has happened before so its nothing new. it is linked because the magma causes the geysers and hot springs to errupt. i really think that yellowstone will errupt soon because of all the evidence.
Kelly Rogers
I agree with Ben because the volcano wont erupt soon.
~Kailey Carter~
they know cause yellow stone is moving a certin number of inches each year and it is and it stopped uplifting and the hot mangma makes the gisiers erupt CHRISTIAN$$BOND
I agree with Madison I beleive that yellowstone will erupt soon. The evidence all proves it. Yellowstone hasn't erupted for 640,000 years. It's due pretty soon to erupt.
Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches a year.At Yellowstone they use an Insar and GPS to measur ethe changes.This is linked to hot springs and geyers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyers to erupt.
i am predicting that the volcano will erupt not really soon like 5 years more like geologic time. chase pearson
plates move because yellowstone is upr. yellow stone is uprising 2 inches a year. yellow stone is decreasing in uplift. my opinion is yellowstone will not erupt for a while
scientst beleve that the plates are moving because yellstone is uprising2.8 in. per year. they use a gps and insar. yellow stone has recently been decreasing its rate in uplifting.
scientists know the plates are moving because the caldera rises upward at a rate of 7 centimeters a year.They use a gps and have been decreasingthe rate in uplifting.this is linked to geysers and the hot magma is at the top so it causes volcanoes to erupt.I do think alot will erupt bevause of all the magma rising.

the post obove this it mine taylor roberts
i agree with alex r. because yes they also use the satileites to determain the movement in the plates. i also agree that the idea of continential drift theroy is true based on this evidence and other evedinces.
Kelly Rogers
I agree with alex beacuse i also think that it will erupt but wont be a super eruption
hunter steimle
Scientists know that the plates are moving because begininng in 2004 they saw the ground above the caldera rise up at a rate of 2.8 inchesv a year. They have used tools to map this by using global positioning systems and InSAR a device that gives ground deformation measurements. Recently at yellowstone it has been decreasing on rising and uplifting. This is not the first time this has happened, so it is not something new. This is connected because the chamber is what some of the fantastic attractions people come to see. I completely agree with madiison that the super volcanoe may eventually erupt. I don't think this will happen for a while, but since it keeps uplifting it will most likely happen someday. Sean i kinda agree that we are due for an eruption soon but it might not be for a while.
- Michael Van Schoik
Yes, scientists know that the plates are moving because Yellow Stone is moving approximately about 2.8 inches per year. The scientists there use GPS's and InSAR. Yellow Stone had been recently decreasing in its uplifting. This had been found that it is linked to the hot springs and geysers. The hot magma is at the very top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geysers to erupt. I think that Yellow Stone will erupt in the near future. Not this year but maybe we we're extinct.
-Emily Heckman
Earthquakes erupt and that means that the plates are moveing. They use instraments that measure the earthquakes. Old Faithfull keeps erupting steaming water. It has happend before. The lava heats up the water and the air presure builds up and explodes. this is freaky.
I agree with Madison Schnell because Yellow Stone may erupt in the future. Then again, I disagree with her as well because it mya be when we're all extinct.
-Emily Heckman :)
I think that yellowstone will erupt again. it says that just bellow yellowstone national park lies a cauldron of magma that can fill MORE THAN 3 lake Michigans.And if yellowstone erupts again wolves and bison would be wiped out.
-Dylan Humbert
scientist know the plates are moving because compared to millions of years ago the continents were all connected now they are separated they use GPS and inSAR. Yellowstone has been decreasing its rate in uplifting. by the hot magma at the top of the volcano.
scientist know the plates are moving because of the shape of the contenints shape and how they fit like a jiggsaw puzzle and yellowstone is upriseing 2.8 inches each year.GPS nd inSAR are the tools they use to measure yellowstone.this has been happening before. This is linked to the hot springs and geysers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geysers to erupt. i think it will erupt soon because of the magma and the rapidly uprising.
Debroah,how do you know it wont be a super volcanic eruption, what is your evidence.
-Dylan Humbert
The scientists know that the plates are moving because they said they've seen the cladara move about 2.8 inches over the years. THey use tools like GPSs and other high tech tools to measure changes at Yellowstone. At yellowstone the uplifting rate has decreased. Yes this has happened before.This is causing the hot springs and geysers to errupt. I don't the volcano is going to errupt any time soon. If things like this have happened before and it didn't errupt the first time, then it probably won't errupt again.
Scientists know that the plates are moving based on fossil records and the under-water Mid-Atlantic Ridge. They use siesmographs and computers. The landscaper has been rising by 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) a year. It has been happening since 2004. The caldera underneath Yellowstone has heated the hot springs and geysers.
yellow stone rises 2.8 inches every year . now they have been decreasing instead of rising . it happened before .which causes hot springs . also hot magma at the top of the volcano . and geysers erupt . yellow n=might erupt because of the uprisng and the decresing .
~kristin murphy<3
Scientisst know that the plates are moving becaus when they collide they make earthquakes, volcanoes, and form canyons. They use an instroment called a sizemograph and they use computers. The landscape has been riseing 2.8 in. or 7 cm. THis has happened scince 2004. The colldaria under yollowstone has heated the hot springs and gisers.
Alex Richmond
The ground levels above the volcano have rised 10 inches. They use global positioning units or (GPS) and interferometric synthetic aperture radar or (inSAR). Ground deformation suggest that the magma is coming up toward the surface. It has been happening. The geysers are connected to the magma so thats why steam comes out.
Scientist know that the plates move because yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches a year. GPS and a InSAR. Yellowstone has recently been decreasing its rate in uplifting. This is linked to the hot springs and geysers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so its causes the hot springs and the geysers to erupt. I think that yellowstone will erupt in about 1,257 years.
scientists know plates are moveing because yellowstone is riseing 2.8 inches per year. Some of the tools they use is GPS and SAR. lately yellowstone has been going up at a slower rate. all the hot springs and gysers are hot due to lava at yellowstone. I think that yellowstone is going to erupt in a couple hundred years be cause of how fast the magma is riseing.
Ryan Bussard
I agree with you Drew that there will be a super Volcano bet I think it said that the land was rising at a pace of 2.8 in. a year.
Alex Richmond
Scients know plates are moving because they saw the ground above the caldera rise upward 2.8 inches. Scientists use a GPS and an InSAR to measure changes. Recently the ground has been rising due to magma movement under the surface of the ground. Recently, the ground has been rising and falling, but, this has been happening for thousands of years, so it's not something new. This is related to the geysers and hot springs because the hot magma is towards the top of the chamber, so it will cause the hot springs and geysers to erupt. I think this volcano will erupt in the next 1,000 years, but more towards 1,000 years than now. I don't think we should be worried because it's not doing anything new...Hopefully, it won't erupt. I didn't even know that yellowstone was a volcano until we watched "Supervolcano"
The scientist know this because Yellowstone uprises 2.8 inches each year. They use a a global positioning system(GPS), also interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), which gives ground-deformation measurements. Recently Yellow Stone has been decreasing in its rate in uplifting, this has happened before. Its linked to hot springs and geysers by the hot magma at the top of the volcano, causing the hot springs and geysers to erupt. I think Yellow Stone is going to erupt eventully, this is because of the rapid uprising and the magma.
Deborah I agree with you, I dont think there will be a supervolcano either. Sean, if there is no prediction of one then why do you think there will be one?
I never knew that the plates moved 2.8 inches every year
Beginning in 2004, scientists saw the ground above the caldera rise upward at rates as high as 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) a year. Scientists use a special observatory. They has been a couple spottings of volcanic eruptions. It has been happening for a while, since about 2004(7 years). Its linked because shooting geysers in Yellowstone have been hapening since the 1970's. I think that they're really neat and cool to learn more about.
Alaxandra Wall why do you think that the valcano will not erupt soon. I think it will erupt in a couple hundred years
Ryan Bussard
@ Jarod Francis:
I disagree! I don't think the volcano will errupt any time soon! This has happened befor and didn't errupt!
At Dehbora Park
Actually, if the caldera is as big as they say it is, it will most likely erupt as bad as it supposedly should.
To Deborah: why do you think that it will not erupt as bad as a super volcano.
Scientists know that there is plate movement because they compared the old world map to the new world map and they saw that they continrnts fit together like a puzzle piece. They use a GPS and an INSAR to measure the changes at yellowsstone. I has been decrasing th amount of uplifting. It has been happening before though. It is linked to geysers and hot springs because by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geysers to erupt. I think their will be a minor erruption but it wont effect the outter sourroundings.
~Charlie Freudemann~
Scientists know that the plates are moving because the ground moved 7 centimeters in one year or 2.8 inches. They use Gps,and InSAR the changes in Yellowstone. Th ground has been rising and falling without an exposition showing examples of a possible supervolcano. This has happened.The earhquake could have releasedmegma by having fluids escape and it might have slowed down the uplift. That is why the geysers and hot springs have been erupting.
@ Deborah Park:
I agree the explosion probably wont be as big as a supervolcanoe but i think that there will be a regular eruption or a larger eruption but not a super volcanoe.
There is globel posioning system/Gps. Also intrferotric synetic aprture rader. They decressing the uplefty rate.The magma causes the hot springs and geyars to erupt.I think it will erupt In a few years.
I agree with emma because the volcao wont errupt soon and it wont because it errupts a little bit every year and it does not have time to build up.
~Charlie Freudemann~
the scientists know the plates are moving beacuse yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches a year.they use gps's and inSAR. yellow stone has recently been decreasing its rate in uplifting.it has happened before. it is linked to the hot springs and geyesers because of the magma. i think it will erupt soon because of the hot magma.
I agree with Madison schnell about yellow stone uprising 2.8 inches a year. I forgot to inclued that in my post. I also think that 2.8 inches a year is a lot.
@ Jarod Francis:
I thought it hadn't erupted for 3,400 years? Or sometime around then? 640,000 years would be a long time ago.
I agree with Madison Schnell-
Because scientists know the plates are moving by Yellowstone rising(2.8 inches) a year. Also, Yellowstone has been deceasing it's rate in uplifting.
I agree with Drew the plates have been moving and evidence is it has been rising.
Scientists know that the plates are moving because Yellow Stone is rising about 2.8 inches every year.Scientists use GPS and inSAR.BUt Yellow Stone has recently decreased in uplifting, and it has been happening before.i think that yellow stone will erupt soon, but i hope not!!!
@ Sean Laake:
I highly doubt there will be a supervolcano anytime soon. I think it's unrealistic. I think there can be an eruption, but nothing near as serious as a supervolcano. If there was going to be a super volcano, it would be further into the future...i think.
We know that paltes are moving because scienists measure it year after year. They mostly use sesimographs to measure the movement at Yellowstone. The ground has risin as much as ten inches expertsn say. It has been happing since 2004. This has created the geysers at Yellowstone.
@Ryan Weber, I don't think it will erupt any time real soon but maybe in 50 years it might erupt.
Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches a year. To measure the changes at yellowstone they use an InSAR and GPS. This is linked to hot springs and geyers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyers to erupt. I believe that Yellow stone will some day erupt because of the hot magma.
i agree with madison schnell because she had alot of what i had and she explained good.
How do scientist know that the plates are moving? they know because yellowstone uprising is 2.8 inches per year What tools do they use to measure the changes at Yellowstone National Park? they use a GPS seismographs thernometers and INSAR What has recently been happening at Yellowstone? earthquakes Is this something new or has it been happening before? How is this linked to the hot springs and geysers? This Has been happening for years but it is not a sighn of a super eruption
Scients know the plates are moving because Yellow Stone was rising 2.8inches peryear and now less than a centimeter.The tools they use are a gps and an insar. Yellowstone has been dereasing its rate of rising up. This has been happening for a while now. This is linked to the geysers and hot springs by the magma at bthe top of volcanoes. I think Yellow Stone will erupt soon but not in our life times.
@ Madison Schnell
I agree that it will erupt eventually also because of the rising in the ground and the caldera.
the scientist know the plates are moving because yellowstone it uprises 2.8in. a year.They use a gps and insar. yellow stone recently decreased its rate in uplifting.this is hot springs and geysers by hot magma that is at the top of the volcano. then this causes hoy springs and the geysers to erupt. i think yellow stone will erupt soon. i hate when eruptions happen. it creeps me out.
PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY I agree but even though i dont think everything scientist say are reliable because we are always discovering new things. I only wonder what will happen to Yellowstone park it is deffinetly a mystery.
We know that plates are moving because of eruptions in the ocean causing the mid atlantic ridhge. they use GPS and InSAR. the land above the cardara is rising. It has been hppening before. the caldara is giving of heat that poewers the attractions at yellowstone.I think that a supper eruption will acur far in the future.
Scientists know the plates are moving because yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches every year. They use a gps seismograph. There have been more frequent earthquakes. It has been like this before. The magma pit beneth yellow stone heats the water.
Yellow stone has recently been decreasing its rate in uplifting.when its hot springs the magma gets to the very top of the volcano.

i agree with your answer madison schnell. but i do you think there will be an eruption that will spread all over the US. just like in the video. and wht if there was an eruption that spread all over the world. would that be the end of the world just like other scientist say now.
Scientists know that the plates under Yellowstone are moving because Yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches a year.The people of the USGS have been mapping the caldera's rise and fall using tools such as GPS and InSAR. Magma is moving towards the surface, we know this because of ground deformation. This has happened process before. It is linked to hot springs and geysers because the hot magma causes them to erupt.
madison schnell,
she is right that when it is a hot spring the magma flows up to the top of the volcano
kristan dalton
scientist know the plates are moving because yellow stone is uprising 2.8 inches in a year. they use gps and sar. but yellowstone is decresing its rate in uplifting . but it had happend before.this is linked to the hot springsand gysersto erupt.but i think it will erupt eventually because ogf the rapid uprising magma.andi agree with madison because i think it will erupt eventually 2
I agree with Madison. I agree with her because Yellowstone will one day erupt from the uprise of the land o=above the caldera.
Nick Aichele
@ Keegan
Keegan they use GPSs and InSARs also
The scientists know because the land above the caldera has risen 2.8 inches a year but recently has decreased to 1 centimeter a year.They use GPS and INSAR. Ground deformation means the magma is moving toward the surface before an eruption. Yes this has happened before.This is related to geysers and hot springs because when earthquakes happen the magma is deposited which makes the springs and geysers erupt.
Scientist know the plates are moving because the plats move 2.8 inches per year.
They use a GPS and inSAR to measure the changes at Yellowstone.
Yellowstone has recently been decreasing in uplifting.
It's been happening before.
Jennifer Somtrakool(:
they know because yellow stone has an uprising of 7 cm. a year.They use a GPS and InSAR.the rate of uplifting has decreased recently.it has happened before.the hot magma causes them to erupt.i believe yellow stone will erupt one day.
@ Keegan Giblan
They do use seismagrophs ut that is for volcanoes they use GPS and INSAR for the ground movment.
Yellow stone is swelling up and its swelled up to 10 inches. predicting when the eruption will be is unknown. the swelling of the earthquake can go up to 4 to 6 miles long. the volcano can be up to 1,000 times bigger than mt. st helens eruption. I think the eruption would be huge too.
The ground started to rise 2.8 inches. They know this from using a GPS and a InSAR. This has been happening recently. Hot magma at the top of the volcano causes springs and geysers. I think the volcano will erupt because of the ground rising and all of the hot magma.
-Kaleigh McCarthy
This is because Yellowstone every year. They use GPS. It does not increase by as much. It has happened before. The heat from the magma chamber causes guysers.
Scientist know the plates move all the time because Yellow Stone 2.8 inches per year.They use a GPS and A InSAR.YellowStone has been decreasing its rateis uplifting.This is linked to the hot springs and geysers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyers to erupt. I think Yellow STone will erupt because of how natue works.
Andrew Hudson
you have very good information i agree with every thing you said
:madison schnell
To Kelly Rogers:
I agree with you how we both belive that the volcano will erupt from all the evidence. How long do you think it will take for all the magma to build up and erupt?
-Kaleigh McCarthy
Scientists know the plates are moving because the ground is rising 2.8 inches a year. The tools that they use are gps and insar to measure the changes. The ground had recently been rising from the magma chamber undergound. This has been happening since the last volcanic eruption in yellowstone (15,000 years ago).This is linked to hotsprings and geysers by when the rise, they let fluids escape. I think that it is odd how it "breaths" but doesn't cause an eruption.
@ Sara Dirr I also think that whem it rises and falls that it doesn;t erupt. I mean all of that magma and fluids have to be hot and ready to explode sometime in the future. Do you think that it would happen in our lifetime? Or when do you think it will happen?
I agree with madison schnell hot springs and geysers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano
They have certain tools to measure it. Seismograph is the tool they use to measure the changes of Yellowstone. The ground has been rising up and evidence shows that there is a super volcano underneath the Earths surface. It has been happening for a long time we just have not had the tools to see it. I have read the article but it did not scare me because first of all it probably won’t happen soon second if it came we would be prepared.
Xavier@
Sceintests still don't know excactly whats could happen it could erupt very differently it could erupt throughout a period of time.
I agree with Madison the magma chamber will erupt because of the uprising. Do you think it will erupt in our lifetime? I mean is it really uprising that quickly or is this going to take a while? Have you ever wondered that if the springs would cool down than maybe they could be used as hot tubs.
Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellowstone is rising 2.8 inches per year. They used GPS and inSAR to be able to monitor Yellowstone and predict how big the magma chamber is. The ground under Yellowstone is rising or getting swolen by the caldera under Yellowstone thus this may cause a super eruption later in time. This has not been occurring for a long time so it is new. The chamber is heating the geysers and it makes the water rise and blow out. The springs are just big ponds of water that have been heated by the magma chamber. I don't think there will be super eruption in my lifetime but there will be one sometime.
Scientists know that the plates are moving because begininng in 2004 they saw the ground above the caldera rise up at a rate of 2.8 inchesv a year. They have used tools to map this by using global positioning systems and InSAR a device that gives ground deformation measurements. Recently at yellowstone it has been decreasing on rising and uplifting. This is not the first time this has happened, so it is not something new. This is connected because the chamber is what some of the fantastic attractions people come to see. I completely agree with madiison that the super volcanoe may eventually erupt.
The ground started to rise 2.8 inches. They scientists know this from using a GPS and an InSAR. yellowstone has been doing this recently. Hot magma at the top of the volcano causes springs and geysers. i think that yellowstone will erupt like mt st helens ecxcept three times as worse
@ Dylan Humbert
I agree that Yellow Stone will erupt eventually but not just the wovles and bison at Yellow Stone will be but a lot of people to all over the country and maybe even the world.
Andrew Hudson
Marissa:I also think Yellowstone will erupt but not for awhile.
Sean: if there is no prediction of one then why do you think there will be one?
Alaxandra Wall: Why do you think that the valcano will not erupt soon. I think that it would erupt in a couple hundred years
I agree with madison,because the Yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches each year.

David Meiners
I agree with you madison i think yellowstone will erupt eventullay because of magnam under neath yellowstone
i also agree with deborah, because the hot magma is sitting at the top of the volcano which is causing the hot springs and gysers to erupt
Sean I agree with you that Yellow stone will erupt but not i our liftime.

sydney how do you know that this has happen before what is your evidence
-Dylan Humbert
@Owen, do you think it will happen in your children's lifetime? Your children's children's lifetime?
thousand more powerful than Mount St Helenss 1980 eruption three times in the past it has eruptYellowstone's caldera, which covers a 25 37mile 40 60kilometer swath of Wyominged
There is so much heat out of Yellowstone right now that if it wasnt being reheated by magma the whole system would have gone stone cold since the time of the last eruption 70000
i agree with sydney scinetist do everything they can to find any activity in YellowStone etc etc
i agree with anthony i also bieleve continents are moving every year
madison, i disagree i think that the magma chamber will fill but will not erupt.i think that the magma will just go back into the mantle like it did in the 1970's and 1980's.
i think it will eventualy erupt but not for many years, probably not in our lifetime.
candice sheehan
i also agree with brendan , sean i think a satelite would be much better then a helicopter because helicopters sway and dont get exact info and sateilites would get a farther in zoom than a helicopter it would be much more stronger than binoculars
hunter steimle
Scientists know the plates aer moving because Yellowstone is uprising 2.8 inches a year. They use a GPS and inSAR to measure the changes of Yellowstone. Yellowstone has currently been decreasing its rate in uplifting. This has happeneed before. This is linked to the hot springs and geysers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyseres to erupt, I think that the Yellowstone will erupt soon because of the rapid uprising & magam.
-Corissa Sturm(:
@megan how do you know this has happened before ?
~kristin murphy <3
To Christian: I agree that the hot magma makes the geisers erupt.
i agree with abbey buelterman, i also think that yellow stone will erupt very soon because of the rapid uprising in magma
I agree with alexandra. I think the volcanoe will erupt in thousands or millions of yars based on evidence.
they no because yellow stone is uprising 2.8 inches a year.they use gps and insar.decreasing in rate of uplifting. this has been happening before.it is linked to the hotsprings at the top of the volcano.
Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellowstone was rising 2.8 inches a year. But the rate of rising decreased between 2007 to 2010 to a centimeter a year or less. Hot magma is at the top of the volcanoe, causing it to rise. It will erupt eventually because of the rising.
the one above mariah is NATHAN STENGERS
im replying to debroah park i was wondering how do you no it wont be as bad as the super volcano nathan stenger.
Scientists know that the plates are moving because Yellowstone is rising every year. Tools that they use to measure canges at Yellowstone are GPS and InSAR. Yellowstone has been rising. It was rising at around 2.8 inches a year in 2004; then in 2007, it slowed down to around a centimeter a year. Hot magma at the top of the volcano is what is causing the rising and falling and it is also causing hot springs and geysers to erupt.
I agree with Madison when she says that she thinks Yellowstone will eventually erupt because of the rapid rising magma but I also agree with Deborah when she says that it will erupt but probably not as bad as a super volcano.
Scientists have found that there is a 7 centimeter per year rise in ground at yellowstone. They use a GPS and InSAR. Yellow Stone has recently been decreasing its rate in uplifting. Yellowstone has recently been decreasing the uplift rate. This is linked to hot springs and geyers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geyers to erupt.
~ciarra earls~
I like how Austin Tilford used the term "swelling up" because it really gives you an image of what is happening in the inside of the volcano. I also aggre with Madison because it probably will end up erupting BUT there could be a chance for it not to happen. If it happens it will probably be in a long long time
i agree with mariah because it will erupt eventually but not any time soon
Scientist found out that Hawii with a giant mantle underneath scientist use tool like a GPS Seismographs and Insar.I thiink the world will change in 100 years because the plates causing earth quakes and making the continents creating a continential drift.
Luke Brockman
the scientists know the plates are moving becasues yellowstone is rising each year 2.8 inches every year they use GPS and inSAR yellowstone is decreaseing the its rate of unlifting
austin papner
since yellow stone is uprising 2.8 inches in a year, scientists know that the plates are moving.
since then, yellowstone has recently been decreasing its rate in uplifting. this is connected to hot springs and gysers by hot magma.
i dont know if yellow stone will erupt soon b/c of how much the rate of uplifting has been changing
I sort of agree with zoey b/c i thing that it might erupt soon b/c of the uprise in magma but i also dont think that it will erupt soon b/c of how much the rate of uplifting has changed
@ emma cliffe,
i agree with you. i don't think the volcano will etrupt anytime soon since, like you said, if it happened before it shouldn't happen this time around.

Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellowstone uprises 2.8 inches a year.They use a GPS and InSAR.Yellowstone has recently been decreasing its rate of uplift.This has happened in the past.The hot magma causes hot springs and geysers to erupt.Rapid rising magma and uprising will make Yellowstone eventually erupt.
I agree with Madison Schnell.But I think that plate tectonics has something to do with Yellowstone erupting.The plate tectonics cause the hot magma which causes Yellowstone to erupt.
i agree with rachel that the volcanoe will erupt again soon in the geologic
chase
I agree with Madison Schnell because it probably will end up erupting but there could also be a chance for it not to occur. If it happens it will probably be in a very long time.& Deborah, it probably wouldn't be as bad at the super valcano.
-Corissa Sturm,(:
Scientists know the plates are moving because Yellow Stone is uprising 2.8 inches each year. They use a GPS and InSAR. Yellow Stone has been recently decreasing its own rate uplifting itself. This has happened before.yellow stone is linked to the hot springs and geysers by the hot magma is at the top of the volcano so it causes the hot springs and geysers to erupt. i think yellow stone will erupt not soon but eventually in the future.
i also agree that it will erupt because the plate tectonics are always moving
chase
i agree with Park Deborah i think the volcano will erupt but not as big as a super eruption.
the scientists know the plates are moving because yellowstone has actually grown a little. yellowstone hasnt grown in a while because of the hot springs. i dont think that yellow stone will erupt soon because it took so lng the first time i think we still have more time.
i agree with ethan because the yellow stone mountain did grow
I agree with Ethan because it states that yellow stone has grown.
