A New Volcanic Vent Just Opened in Yellowstone – Should We Worry? | Geekoo

A new volcanic vent has opened in Yellowstone, releasing thick plumes of steam. Scientists say it’s a sign of the park’s active hydrothermal system—not an impending eruption.

Watching live feeds, as one does.

Worrying about people in a tiny town on the other side of the world. This feels manageable, in a way, where worrying about wars feels more...I don't know.

Be safe over there.

Some cool pics of the area *now* where this eruption may occur. It's a trip how the entire landscape will change again, once an eruption occurs.

It would be helpful to include said graphic. 🙄

British geologist HH Read once said the best geologist is the one who has “seen the most rocks.” So perhaps the best possible understanding of #Kilauea hinges on the most observations. #HVO reflects on two centuries of written records in #VolcanoWatch.

Volcano Watch — What is the highest elevation reached by Halemaʻumaʻu lava? | U.S. Geological Survey

The 2018 collapse of southern Kaluapele (Kīlauea caldera) left a pit whose lowest point was about 500 m (1640 ft) above sea level (asl). Since 2020, that pit has filled to a little over 900 m (2950 ft) asl and one might wonder how high the lava level could go. We can’t answer that question but we can get an idea by looking to Kīlauea’s past.

When we think about the Earth's magnetic field, we often associate it with compasses and navigation. However, did you know that our planet's magnetic field has a rich history of change, including switching of polarity, that spans millions of years?
