steve: earthquakes!!! they’re scary, andthe scariest part is, we never know when one is coming. they always say “the big oneâ€can happen any day now, but they don’t know, and who are they?! well in this instance,“they†are the united states geological survey, and they say that the risk for massivescary earthquakes in the yellowstone national park region is greater and scarier than originallythought.
How To Adopt A Relative Child In Florida, â but steve! you say to your computer screen alone in your room, “yellowstone is alreadyone of the most seismically hazardous areas in the nation!â€, to which i reply, yes,it is. but now, the usgs has recorded relative increases in earthquake hazards since thelast report those guys put out in 2006.
â geophysicist bob smith, if that’s his real name, is throwing out all sorts of scary quoteson the matter like this: “it’s an area of well-above-normal earthquake hazard, andnow with all the population going in – and now with all the population going in – allthe new roads and dams – also high risk.†so humans once again are disturbing the delicatebalance of life and beauty in the closest thing to a natural disneyland, yellowstonenational park. â according to researchers, the teton fault, which happens to be the most dangerous faultin the greater yellowstone area, is capable of producing a quake up to a magnitude 7.5every 1600, to 6,000 years. according to science,
the last instance of a quake there was around4,800 years ago. also, let’s not forget there’s a giant supervolcano under yellowstone!!!!but, recent studies have shown that the volcano may actually be cooling and dying, though,over the course of hundreds of thousands of millions of years.â so, it’s all scary and spooky, but the keyhere is, we don’t actually know when/if a massive quake will hit the area. all wecan do is hope, buy earthquake safety kits, or move to canada. yeah i’m moving to canada.any canadians have room for a fat guy and his collectibles? oh and his wife….?
