*** 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.

  • If it was going to erupt, we would start to see more hydrothermal activity and the ground would be swelling. Informative video, anyways.

  • You are correct. There would be changes in hydrothermal activity. Yellowstone is in a state of flux which make monitoring a challenge at the best of times. This year even more so, with heavier than normal snows last year, the auquifer is full of cold water. This could be mediating and moderating any extra heat. And the ground is moving, it has been since 2004/06 when it was at a record rate, now it's dropped in rate but continues to rise. I will provide map of movement.

  • wyoming found three point seven any other info

  • Yellowstone itself seems to have quieted for the moment. subcribe if you haven't. and spread this information. write to your officals and politicians if you think i'm right. i don't want to make new videos unless something specific is revealed or occuring. thank for your moral support and interest

  • ok thanks well keep up the good work on updating us ive wathced all of ur videos

  • your welcome and get anyone you can to subcribe and watch. thank you for your support

see all

  • @AmericanAirlinesRule im guessing you have witnessed a super eruption before?

  • I have mapped out all the quakes for December 28th through January 26, 2010 and the epic center of the quakes are clustered together some 10 to 15 miles west of Yellowstone Lake.

  • Also have you checked your theory with other volcanos? For example Mt. St. Hellens, it errupted in the same place and today is still erupting but very small one that are rebuilding the mountain. So are we positive that is where the last culdera is?
