16 Jun 2017 – “As of 10 a.m. this morning we had located a total of 235 earthquakes in the area,” said Jamie Farrell, University of Utah research professor of seismology.
Yellowstone gets about 1,500 to 2,000 earthquakes every year, so this activity is fairly normal, Farrell said.
As of Friday morning, his the University of Utah seismologists weren’t seeing anything volcanic in nature.
However, a recent article on Forbes.com revealed that a massive lake of molten carbon the size of Mexico lies beneath the super volcano, prompting at least one website to sound an alarm.
The Forbes article goes on to describe how subduction could have created the lava lake (image above).
