Has anyone else read this? Any Geologists here, I have many Questions.
1) Are these little ones lessening the devastation of a big one?

2) Can they trigger a volcanic eruption?

3) Are this many quakes natural? I thought the article said the biggest was 2.9.

The reason that Yellowstone is such a unique place is because of the tremendous amount of volcanic activity that is going on just below the surface of the park. This subterraneous seismic action is what produces thousands of geyser plumes and hot springs, and has been luring tourists to experience these sights for as long as humans have been around the area to enjoy it.

But experts have been claiming for decades that Yellowstone is actually a ticking time bomb. Since the place is basically a huge plot of land parked on top of an active volcano, it's hard to deny that the potential for a seismic disaster awaits. When you visit the areas of the park where these fields of geysers spray 24/7, you can't ignore the heavy smell of sulfur in the air. It speaks of the geologic phenomenon that's taking place right under your feet.

Perhaps all the geysers are like pressure relief valves and inhibiting the chance of producing a huge 'thermo-blast'. But the underground volcanic activity is obviously creating some pressure & movement all over that area. That explains why the earthquakes are so plentiful, while being mostly uneventful at the same time.
