megangibson+FollowYellowstone's hidden earthquake mysteryYellowstone's underground is buzzing with secrets—over 86,000 earthquakes have been detected beneath the iconic park, thanks to AI. This discovery reveals the park's seismic activity is more intense than previously thought. Researchers used machine learning to analyze 15 years of data, uncovering these 'earthquake swarms' that are likely triggered by fluid movements rather than typical seismic shifts. Understanding these patterns could improve safety measures and inform geothermal energy development. What do you think this means for the future of Yellowstone and its visitors? #Science #Yellowstone #Earthquakes61Share
Tamara Jones+FollowYellowstone’s 86,000 Hidden Quakes?!AI just uncovered over 86,000 previously hidden earthquakes under Yellowstone—10x more than we thought! Not only are these quakes clustered in mysterious swarms, but their patterns could help us predict volcanic risks and even guide safe geothermal energy projects. The wild part? Most of these quakes were missed before because manual checks just couldn’t keep up. Now, with AI, we’re seeing Yellowstone’s underground like never before. Imagine what else is hiding beneath our feet! #Science #Yellowstone #Earthquakes10Share
Tamara Jones+FollowRing of Fire: Earth’s Wildest Hotspot?Did you know the Pacific Ring of Fire is basically Earth’s danger zone? We’re talking 90% of earthquakes and 75% of volcanoes all packed into a 24,900-mile stretch. Right now, 47 volcanoes are actively erupting or rumbling, and 2024 alone saw over 1,300 big quakes. Geologists are watching this area like hawks—because when the plates start shoving, history shows things can get catastrophic fast. Wild to think we’re living on a literal powder keg! #RingOfFire #Earthquakes #Volcanoes #Science30Share
