In early 1960, an eruption suddenly broke up out of the ground in Kapoho, the location of the many earthquake cracks shown at the start of this clip. This eruption destroyed the town of Kapoho in addition to wiping out Warm Springs, a scenic spot nearby which can be seen in the map shown at 1:32. Nature in the raw is seldom mild.

If 710 to 640 million years ago, the earth was a snowball. Was there a giant supercontinent under the ice, and where was it in comparison to Yellowstone? Plus, when Yellowstone last erupted 640 million years ago, was it under ice and water? If so, why have I never heard this? I've watched 100s of documentaries on Yellowstone throughout my life and have never heard it was under ice and water on a snowball earth. Peace and Ahev

Yellowstone's most recent caldera-forming eruption was 631,000 years ago. There was no ice covering the area at the time. Lava flow eruptions have happened when the region was glaciated, however -- about 130,000-150,000 years ago. Some of the lava flows that erupted during this time (www.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/news/lotta-lava-new-insights-timing-yellowstones-most-recent-rhyolite-eruptions) show signs of having interacted with ice, and there is evidence that glacial lakes might have been present in the region at various times. More information about Yellowstone's glacial history is at www.usgs.gov/news/yellowstones-icy-past.

@@usgs Isn't ice what makes volcanism on Iceland form steeper features? Normally Icelandic volcanoes form shields, but around the recent eruptions there are some steep and tall features. I imagine that happens when the lava extrusion is under a glacier which cools the lava rapidly and makes it deposit closer to the eruption site.

Quick correction of a slip of the tongue -- it's subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate that is fueling volcanism in the Cascades. Also, the map showing ash distribution only includes that part of the Mount St. Helens ash fall that was more than an inch. Lesser amounts fell over a much broader area.

The range of ash from St Helens is always underestimated. We had considerable ash drop east past Butte Montana. and some spots in the mountains received heavier amounts. I experienced this first hand in the Georgetown Lake area near Philipsburg when visibility was reduced to less than 50 yards.

You're right -- the map shown in this video only indicates the area of thickest ash fall, where it was more than an inch or two. But there was still noticeable fall over a broad area east of the volcano. Another map showing that broader area in the USA is at pubs.usgs.gov/gip/msh/ash.html.

@usgs 29 күн бұрын
Those smaller eruptions are far more common than the big explosions. Since the last big caldera-forming eruption 631,000 years ago there have been a few dozen lava flows (most recently about 70,000 years ago, so in an absolute sense they still aren't terribly common). These have largely filled the caldera, especially on the west side. There's more information about the occurrence and timing of these flows at www.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/news/lotta-lava-new-insights-timing-yellowstones-most-recent-rhyolite-eruptions.

...this bout is like putting an ant up against an elephant! I love the cascades and have hiked and camped from Shasta to Garibaldi for years. I listened to a fascinating lecture on estimating eruptions from remnants like welded tuff/ignimbrite. (not a geologist, is that spelled right?) The speaker offered analysis and modeling of deposits of various ages/lava compositions, sizes of eruptions etc and is quite convinced that we have wildly underestimated the volume of essentially all VEI-8 eruptions. There's one caldera, I think Long Valley, so 2-ish hours from Los Angeles, is the one, but I've also seen 10,000km³+ for La Garita. Geology Hub, another fantastic channel has a video including or dedicated to it, but I actually hadn't gotten to it yet, now I'm even more interested to find out what has been found and how it can be explained.
@usgs 29 күн бұрын
Yes, you spelled it correctly! Caldera-forming eruptions usually produce ignimbrites just because of the volume and thickness of ash deposits. Estimating their thicknesses can be a challenge where exposures are poor. Much of the ignimbrite volume can be found in the source caldera itself -- the ash basically falls back and fills in part of the hole that was created during the eruption. Without drilling records or serendipitous exposures, it can be hard to know the thickness of the deposits within the calderas. In the case of the big calderas of the San Juans in Colorado, like La Garita, there has been enough erosion to be able to see the intracaldera thicknesses.

Fortunately, there's no real indication of Yellowstone becoming more active anytime soon. The magma chamber is mostly solid (we know this from seismic imaging, which is sort of like taking an MRI of the subsurface), and there's no sign of any rejuvenation. Most eruptions there are lava flows, not massive explosions, but even a lava flow event needs a supply of eruptible magma.
