*** 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.

  • Robin. First I like to say that, your videos are truly interesting and enlightening, keep up your great work! But back to the case. Have you heard, there has been earthquake clouds over USA? IF those clouds really predicts quakes, severe one might hit less than a month..

  • I haven't investigated earthquake clouds beyond a glance. How would I find the clouds locations? Is there someone with a forecast?

  • There was an article about this here in a Belgian news paper. They suggest even that we, here in Belgium, could have a one year winter when this thing will blow! Greetings, Pierre.

  • Yes, the ash shrouding the earth in a major eruption could see virtual winter for many years.

  • Thanks for another intelligent explanation of what's happening. I find it comforting. Keep up the important work.

  • Thank you.
