In light of the recent earthquake: Are you concerned with the Yellowstone Caldera (Supervolcano) at Yellowstone National Park?

Asked by SpatzieLover (24606points) April 3rd, 2014

We haven’t discussed this for several years here in the tidepool. Since the last time this topic came up:

In 2013, the magma chamber was discovered to be 2.5 times larger than thought.

On 3/31/14, a magnitude 4.8 earthquake was recorded. The largest tremor to shake the area since 1980.

What are your thoughts on this supervolcano?
Is the an eruption from the caldera in Yellowstone overdue?
