Scientists Make Stunning Discovery Beneath Yellowstone National Park Supervolcano

"A massive, magma-filled secret was recently discovered under Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, a discovery that could mean larger eruptions for the park’s supervolcano.

Researchers from the University of Utah uncovered a gargantuan magma reservoir containing hot, sponge-like rock, as well as some molten rock, that dwarfs a previously known magma chamber.

The findings were recently published in the journal Science and revealed the chamber holds enough magma to fill the Grand Canyon over 11 times, the Tech Times said.

Scientists discovered the chamber while mapping the subterranean plumbing system below the supervolcano, Sciencemag.org reported.

Hsin-Hua Huang, study author and seismologist at the University of Utah, said, “For the first time, we have imaged the continuous volcanic plumbing system under Yellowstone. That includes the upper crustal magma chamber we have seen previously, plus a lower crustal magma reservoir that has never been imaged before and that connects the upper chamber to the Yellowstone hotspot plume below.” (Carolyn Williams, Apr 28 2015, Scientists Make Stunning Discovery Beneath Yellowstone National Park Supervolcano, www.weather.com/science/nature/news/yellowstone-national-park-supervolcano-largest-magma-reservoir-discovery)


World’s largest “supervolcano” is even bigger than previously thought

"Although it was already known that Yellowstone had one magma reservoir, located about 5-16km (3-10 miles) below the surface, the new study, published in Science, has revealed another, much larger reservoir sitting directly below the first, located around 20-50km (12-30 miles) below the surface."

These are the current images of 2015


My Point

The archived image from 2009 seems to indicate that scientist can see over 400 miles into the ground.

However, this new discovery is only 10-30 miles deep

Yellowstone has to be one of the most studied areas on our planet, both above and below ground.

The Revelation

Science cannot see nearly as deep into the ground as we are lead to believe.

[Dave]

Science cannot see nearly as deep into the ground as we are lead to believe.

So what? Why is this relevant? We must remember that Yellowstone is a volcanic caldera. It is a volcanic system that is so large that instead of building a mountainous cone, these caldera are so wide that they eventually fall into themselves. As the molten rock exits the surface, the ground below the caldrea looses mass and become two week to support the surface crust. Eventually the crust falls into the depression left by the now empty magma chamber, forming a wide valley. There are approximately 117 calderas on planet earth, of which Yellowstone is the largest.

Yellostone caldera measure about 34 by 45 miles (55 by 72 km) wide. The caldera is so large that when you are in the caldera the rim simply looks like a distant mountain range.

All Calderas behave in the same manner. First a single volcano appears, then more and more until the caldera is ringed / filled with cone type volcanos. Then, once the magma chamber becomes a void, these cone volcanoes all fall back into the earth filling the depression left by the missing magma. In essence, a caldera is simply a volcanic sink hole.



Conclusion - if the magma chamber under Yellowstone is larger than expected - then the potential caldera must be also larger then expected.

FD-WEDT - Part of my theories basic premise is the fact that scientist do not know what is beneath our feet deep within the earth. Six years ago we were lead to believe that science know what was 400 miles beneath us. This new evidence PROVES that in a heavily studied area, at best, we only know about the top 10 miles or so. Part of my theory suggest that the Earth's mantel could possibly be filled with inconsistent voids at depth below our ability to see. Part of my theory suggest that some unknown uplifting force raised the Colorado Plateau. Science tells us that this uplifting was some of the youngest on the Earth, with the Colorado Mountain Range being only 40 million years old, or so.

Predictions made from FD-WEDT - All future Earth change predictive maps all predict the collapse of the Colorado Plateau resulting in the Pacific Ocean to infill Nevada, Utah, 1/2 of Arizona, California, and Colorado.

Yes Dave the Yellowstone Caldera is housing a sleeping giant that could erupt with such energy and force that it could lead to a doomsday extinction event of earth.+

Why is Yellowstone important - and what does it have to do with Scripture?


I have a Theory about the Flood just like Dr Brown
He self published - I self published

He has a stand alone theory of everything from a to z -
Is it plausible - I guess - but doesn't fit the totality of scripture or science

My work is based upon another theory by Dr J. Marvin Herndon
His theory - Whole Earth Decompression Dynamics (WEDT)

If he is correct - and I think he is - my theory is the next logical progression of the theory
The Fluid Dynamics of Whole Earth Decompression (FD-WEDT)

I think - I satisfy all questions and paradigms of criticism

I am 10,000% scripturally literal and satisfy all scientific disciplines

Yellowstone become a relative secondary contraction event - validating my theory

[Alan McDougall]

Dave it is my belief, as I now assume yours is also, that unlike many others, not every possible event is recorded in the Bible or how we are supposed to react to each every one of them.

God has given us humans a very remarkable brain and mind to think with in a logical way and come to our own separate conclusions.

"God helps those who helps themselves."

While it is wrong to question the Will of God, it is not wrong to ask God a question?

Inevitably - this is the conclusion on many
I think this a compromise - a social politeness

Two arena's - theological and scientific

Theology -- Counter to anyone trying to push any type of organised religion - I am open to variation in theology - not pigeonholed - Yes Christ is the way, but the Hebrews claim special compensation. anyone else?

YHWY spoke to Moses and hardened Pharaoh's heart
Is YHWY's message to every one the same?

God's will on earth as is it is in heaven - Lord's Prayer - taught by Jesus Mat 6
There is a war in heaven - God's will? - war on earth - God's will?

Reach your own conclusions - we do - each as close to that primal theology as it speaks - as He speaks - to us

Theology and Us Personally

No greater gift / sacrifice of life than to be call by the Lord - to be used by YHWY - to be led personally - spoken to - instructed

Every 'Feel Good' Christian today would agree - Pentecostal's beg for it - we all pray for it

But we forget - someone HAD to be Judas, Job, Solomon, Samson, or James who had his brains smash out with a club

Is YHWY's message to everyone the same? ?? -

Science

I am more open to variation in theology that science - Science is focused upon the measurable.

If 15 people "measure" something 15 different answers are UNACCEPTABLE
There is only one accurate measurement

This is an often mistaken false assumption by the educational science media
Precision is different then accuracy
all 15 people can measure a board at 8 feet - their precision is very reproducible
If the true measurement should be 8' 1" - the accuracy is terrible

Current science theory is propagandized as reality - if the special effects of your graphic imagery by movie, documentary, youtube, anything do more to make modern theories plausible than the data

Any theory - that must make an exception is flawed and does NOT represent God's handiwork

Current - Standard Planetary Formation Theory (SPFT-1962) Berkeley Ca
Big Bang - Nebular Hypothisis - (no contest - not the point) - then SPFT
Particles gathered - clumped - into larger and larger bodies

Could explain Mercury, Venus, Mars, with ease - very plausable
Absolutely nails gas giant planetoids - Jupiter and beyond - 100% agree

Does not explain Earth for so many reasons

J. Marvin Herdnon - Whole Earth Decompression Dynamics 2005
Me - The Fluid Dynamics of Whole Earth Decompression 2006

Why is this important - the Flood of Noah happened exactly as scripture says - literally !

Why is this important - The Flood is not some OT myth - a time when 'other gods' lived amongst men - Enoch - Jubilees - Zohar - Jashar - 1&2 Adam and Eve - Midrash - wizards - Nephilim - 1/2 breed creatures - teaching man war and science - an almost Middle Earth environment all sank beneath the flood waters - Atlantis - Noah

I write about the Memoirs of Noah - He lived another 350 years after the flood - how many grandchildren must he have had? What would have been the #1 most common question during those 350 years?

Grandpa Noah - tell us what is was like before the flood

These memoirs of Noah have become the common cultural link to our common prediluvian past
Dragons, wizards, sorcery, giants, beast, 1/2 breed creatures

These are not myths and legends - they are our common primal-theological history

What does scripture say ?

How much of the content of scripture do we disregard just because we are modern 21st man

Why is this important -- If parting the Red Sea, the Flood of Noah, Enoch going into heaven, water into wine, virgin birth, Resurrection - where does myth end and fact begin?

If we disregard - allow others to disregard so much of scripture as implausible - then how can we make the Gospel seem plausible ?

This is the legacy of Romanology - the Beast on Earth - God's Plan - 1920 America
The Big Bang - Evolution - are married with pubic education and the anti-christ mind game

All through this process - and today - children are left unanswered
an 8th grade science student has a question
by-law the student cannot ask the question in the classroom
by design - the church is too stupid to have kept pace with this trend in education
the result - teacher smart = correct - church stupid, unable to have a science speak conversation
Science 1 - Rome 0 = weak - man-made, $$$$ driven, mass control, thought police
= it diminishes the faith

[Larry]

You are right about people not believing that the Bible stories really happened. 

Since you mentioned the Red Sea, I will tell you that several years ago in a Presbyterian Church outside of Dallas Texas the pastor there didn't even believe that the exodus from Egypt even happened. He taught that it was just a story told to make a point. 

If the leaders of the Churches don't even believe those stories to be true how can they preach them to others.

[Dave]

I was surprise to discover that many Hebrew scholars also doubt if the Exodus actually happened.

First it is a little doubt
Then you start doubting everything
Eventually - you don't know what to believe

This is the sign of our times - between the miss-representation of Christianity by Rome and the noise media of science - today - people don't know what to believe

Yes they inform us that Moses led the Israelite's out of Egypt through the "Reed Sea" (or swamp). The swamp the talk about is only knee high, so how on earth did?
