*** I realize I've mixed up terms, soil when I meant crust. And chamber when I meant chamber roof. Please excuse my mistakes. I am nervous and hate making these videos. ***I know where the fault that will rupture is located. I know how Yellowstone will erupt. And I know when.
Watch,and find out more,if you're curious. Ask a question and I'll provide the answer.

When?
The when of the eruption is tied to where of the eruption. The eruption will start along the original caldera. It will happen when The Huckleberry Ridge Tuff fracture intersects the fractures caused by the Sour Creek dome.

On the map on this site, you will see the orignal caldera (Huckleberry) marked in orange. The Sour Creek Dome is the northern most of the two uplifted zones marked by a dashed lines, it is just north of the lake. You will see where the first caldera and the doming intersect. An eruption occurs when fractures allows a breach in the system. The area also has fractures caused by the Elephant Back Ridge uplift in the 1970's. A fracture in the lake would allow water to enter into the aquafier and geyer system. The pressure from the lake will force water into plumbing and will widen passages and collapse others. Very quickly, parts of the roof of the magma chamber start to collapse, allowing pockets to capture gas. It then becomes a cascade as earthquakes destabilze other parts of the fracture and chamber. It will happen anytime within the near future. It will happen following a major earthquake. The faults are intersecting now. The erutpion factors are all at there most dangerous positions.

  • What is West thumb and Fishing Bridge / on the Utah seisograph information . I thought maybe sensors are there . Are they and where else are they. Thanks

  • Look on more info and find link to map. The West Thumb is monitor is YLT EHZ WY. And the fishing bridge is monitored by the LKWY. I'll add link for page with monitoring stations.

  • hey u say every 600,000 years it explodes isnt it possible thats wat cause polt shift every 600,000 years or so ?

  • (top corner) DONT FORGET TEH CREAM AND CARROTZ

  • I say in a few months with the earthquakes are happening around the world.

  • will yellowstone erupt in the next weeks?

  • Have you visited my channel? If not, you will find it very enlightening and then some.

  • I was wondering, if this thing erupts what would happen to my home state of Michigan? and could i see the eruption cloud from here in the atmosphere?

  • Hi again ;) Just wondering if you have watched the History channels theories on the volcano? on utube search .

    watch?v=FOn3wkehluk&feature=re­lated

    they say the Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest spot with the most rise in magma but it has settled down. Its a very cool video with pics of xrays of the magma cavities that extends all the way into Idaho! Phew what size! Could devistate up to 1200 mi. of plant life and change the weather for 6-10 yrs.Killing everthing w/in 100 miles+
