UPDATE: YELLOWSTONE CALDERA WAKING UP

Yellowstone Waking Up? UPDATE: 3.0 NEAR YELLOWSTONE CALDERA

10-degree Map Centered at 45°N,110°W

globe showing location of 10-degree map
Legend with age and magnitude scale 
THIS IS A MAP THAT SHOWS WHERE THE 3.0 EARTHQUAKE HIT AS IT RELATES TO THE LOCATION THAT GOOGLE MAPS SHOWS FOR YELLOWSTONE PARK.






































AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS A LINE OF EARTHQUAKES THAT IS HEADING TOWARD, INTO AND AROUND THE YELLOWSTONE CALDERA.

ALTHOUGH THE RESOLUTION ISN'T GREAT ON THIS PICTURE, THE LINE OF EARTHQUAKES AND THE "SWARM" IS STILL EASILY SEEN.


 
 
HERE IS THE MAP OF THE CALDERA.  AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ABOVE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE EARTHQUAKES ARE IN VITALLY IMPORTANT AREAS WHERE SCIENTISTS ARE HOPEFULLY WATCHING CLOSELY.

A brilliant summary. I will send your link out to my contacts. USGS and others do not like showing all of the quake info.
