I read recently about the BULGE forming near the Three Sisters volcanoes, in Oregon.
I looked at the graphic which was posted on Space.com.
The volcanoes are positioned in an area of the mountains and looks like the outside edge of a Calderas.
I think that the volcanoes (the Sisters) are nothing more than vents for a supervolcano.
And here is a kicker for you... The Yellowstone Park Supervolcano is on the same Latitude as the Sisters.
I was informed by a Geoligist that it was purely coincidental.
Tell you what you look at them and tell me whether it is or not a Supervolcano.

Sorry can't find the image on space.com. Do you have a url for it?

It sounds interesting, although being at the same latitude as Yellowstone is probably just a coincidence.

Are super volcanos a scientific fact or a highly debated topic such as planet x? please answer truthfully

Supervolcanoes are scientific fact, but there's actually no agreed definition. The term simply refrs to extremely big volcanoes, of which there are undoubtedly some. People therefore do disagree on which volcanoes qualify as supervolcanoes. Some are generally agreed to be supervolcanoes, such as Toba and Yellowstone.

Don't believe me or still confused? Check out what the USGS has to say: volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/faqs1.html (http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/faqs1.html)

There is no accepted definition of a supervolcano but that sure looks like a caldera with a radius of 30km. The uplift is also similar to that at Yellowstone, but not as pronounced. This in my opinion suggests it is a supervolcano. However I m not a geologist so it really isn't for me to say, and there may be other explanations.

A few quotes from the article accompaning the picture:

"the surface moved toward the satellite (mostly upward) by as much as 10 cm (about 4 inches) sometime between August 1996 and October 2000"

"The most likely cause is magma accumulation in the Earth's crust, a process that has been observed with radar interferometry at several other volcanoes worldwide"

"There is no immediate danger of a volcanic eruption or other hazardous activity"

Thanks a lot for finding this. It really does look like a supervolcano.

I found that site quite by accident. I thought it was a supervolcano... The scientists whom I have EMAILED have either ignored me or tried to DEBUNK the idea.
Thank you .....

The people i asked at USGS say:

"No, it doesn't make Three Sisters a "supervolcano". That term has been used to describe volcanoes that have colossal eruptions--basically the largest on Earth. Yellowstone has experienced single eruptions in which 2000 cubic kilometers of magma have erupted. The largest at Three Sisters are on the order of 5 to 10 cubic kilometers--most have been much smaller. Also, the amount of uplift at Three Sisters is small compared to the movements of the supervolcanoes. No Cascade volcano deserves the title--we're just run-of-the-mill volcanoes."

Sorry!

I recall watching a documentary on British TV a little while ago (sorry, can't remember what it was) which talked about the Yellowstone caldera. It also mentioned another of similar size in Northern Italy. Also long overdue for an eruption. Living within this one's area are about 20 million people I believe.

I would like to tell you about Miss frances Yule who was/is the most powerful psychic of her day, and very accurate about earthquakes and volcanos. While this info is 22 years old, it was reprinted in 'The Dragon's tail' (IllumiNet) in 2000. We gave a map showing two supervolcanos that would go off, but deleted the dates. The first will go off near Papua N.G. in Feb 2008. In 1981 we did not know what a SV was but showed the radius of damage, extending as far as Qld. Only now do scientists put a circle on the map exactly where we did. Maybe they don't know about the other one... I'm not sure. tonyaustin@bushinternet.com

- - -In respect to what was submitted recently by SladeLoD, I checked out some data for the "Three Sister's" mountain range that has experienced (since 1997) a fairly marked increase in a "bulge area" that was caused by the intrusion of magma @ a depth of roughly 7 clicks. Within the last month there has been an "earthquake swarm" of activity @ this location which is now getting the attention of seismologists there, anywho, this is what I found:

THREE SISTERS, OREGON, INFORMATION STATEMENT



At approximately 10 a.m. yesterday (Tuesday, March 23), an ongoing swarm
of small earthquakes began in the Three Sisters volcanic center in the
central Oregon Cascade Range. This activity poses no immediate threat
to the public. As of this morning, the regional seismic network has
detected approximately 100 earthquakes ranging in magnitude up to about
1.5. The rate of earthquakes peaked late yesterday and appears to be
declining slowly. The earthquakes are occurring in the northeast part
of an area centered 5 kilometers (3 miles) west of South Sister volcano
in which the ground has been uplifted by as much as 25 cm (about 10
inches) since late 1997. On the basis of multiple lines of evidence,
scientists infer that the cause of the uplift is the continuing
intrusion of a modest volume of magma (molten rock). The magma appears
to be accumulating at a depth of about 7 kilometers (4 miles) below the
ground surface and now measures about 40 million cubic meters (about 50
million cubic yards) in volume. Until yesterday, only a few earthquakes
have accompanied this process, but scientists have expected that swarms
of small earthquakes such as the present one would eventually accompany
the uplift. The most likely cause of the earthquakes is small amounts
of slippage on faults as the Earth's crust adjusts to the slow ground
deformation of the past 7 years. Heat and gases related to the magmatic
intrusion have probably caused increases in fluid pressure deep
underground, which also helps to trigger minor faulting events.

The processes that have been causing the uplift over the past seven
years could eventually lead to shallower intrusion of magma or even to a
volcanic eruption; however, both are unlikely without significantly more
intense precursory activity. Scientists continue to monitor the
situation closely and to evaluate data from field instruments.

Today scientists are deploying another seismometer in order to locate
earthquakes more precisely. With the assistance of the Willamette and
Deschutes National Forests, additional fieldwork over the next week will
fix problems with some field instruments that resulted from the heavy
winter snow-pack and will assess sites for new instruments.

Additional information, including maps and a volcanic-hazards
assessment, may be found on the Internet at Web at URL:

Hey Joe!!!

What's the location of these Sisters?!?

lotrfan55345
Mar 25th, 2004, 2:19 PM
In the west coast of New Israel, there are a chain of volcanic mountains called the "Cascade Mountains". Most have been dormant for 5,000 years with the exception of Mt. St Helens. The three sisters are in Oregon, the middle/northern portion of the Cascade Mtns. I don't think "it" or "they" are super-volcanoes, but yet powerful nonetheless. They are close to several towns in the area.

Correct me if im wrong, but i seem to remember the discovery channels documentary regarding Yellowstones Super Volcanoe stated that we would probably see activity from the three sisters prior to an eruption. I dont quite remember where i have heard that, but for some reason, im thinking it was in that documentary.

Don't you see, this, if this happens, will drasticly affect EVERYONE on Earth. This is "the big one". The US government don't want us to panic, as it would furthe worsen the (US) economy. Also the impilications of this being a false alarm would be very, very great.

You have very good points in some of your posts. I agree with you that a lot of people in this world are stupid not realising what we are doing to our planet and that this is not a world where nothing threats our survival.

However, I don't see a point in your "government hiding everything" attitude. I'm not from US, but I surely believe if Yellowstone was going to erupt, they WOULD evacuate people from that area and areas nearby. As mentioned earlier, noone knows if the explosion is going to be big or not, or when there are signs of eruption will it really erupt. If noone knows this, then what does government have to hide? Nothing.

If someday we know for sure something's erupting in Yellowstone, we are still not sure if it's going to be a massive supervolcanic eruption or a smaller one, devastating only for the nearby areas. So why would government not even try and evacuate people from those areas? Would save lot's of lives in case of a "normal" volcanic eruption.

Keep this link handy,looks like Three Sisters is going to have an active period,again,these are not large quakes but another swarm.I thought after this situation in Yellowstone last year things would calm down and that would be the end of it.But the way things are looking ,well,i don't know.All of these volcanos just might be connected deep withen the earth and Three Sisters,St.Helens and the Long Valley Caldera are just fingers that branch off from the main core.This is just a therory and no real way to prove it,but it just may be possible.In the weeks ahead if this continues with Three Sisters we just may be in for an eruption there.Hopefully if it does erupt it will vent some of the pressure from the Yellowstone Cladera and delay any type of event happening there in the near geological future.Again,This is just a therory.,Slade :pcangry: By the way,LMAO,i have been down for awhile here,all three of my computers blew up!!,,,,,,,WOW!

- - -As with "Yellowstone Nat'l Park," there is the potential loss of income from the "tourist trade" should they sound the warning, sure, it's quite possible that they are trying to keep a lid on this for that very reason/though there are additional reasons. . .
- - -Another is the possibility of sounding a warning too soon, (and then nothing happens), and then the public, who grow weary of these "false starts" MAY no longer listen because they grow lethargic, tired of listening to USGS doing the "chicken little dance". . . Ya know. . .
- - -I believe that something is up here that bears further scrutiny, problem is, just like with "supervolnoes" there is so little we actually KNOW about these types of events, it's hard to say "WHEN" something could happen. . I know that's not very comforting when you look at these detectors, and I do not envy where you live, my friend. . .

Joe,You are so correct about the real estate/tourist trade etc. in the area of Yellowstone.We have a joke here in Wyoming now.All of the billionaires moved to jackson and kicked the millionaires out.It is one of the most beautifull places on earth.That area draws around 15% of Wyomings annual income.That is quite a large amount considering that tourism has major financial compitetion here such as the coal mines,methane and oil.The coal mines here have to be seen to be believed,there is a 500 year supply of coal here near Gillette and are some of the largest open pit mines in the world.Needles to say Wyoming is a very rich state.
On the topic of 'false starts' i do believe that the USGS did issue an eruption warning at one time in the past.I do not know where it was but the areas real estate values dropped.Needless to say legal action was taken and the USGS lost some money on that call.So they will be very carefull now on what they say.That area in Wyoming would suffer a huge downfall if an eruption warning was posted.I will do some research on this and post it when i find the correct information,,,,,,,,,,Slade

Swarm of quakes detected in Central Oregon
07:02 PM PST on Wednesday, March 24, 2004
By TERESA BELL and BRUCE SUSSMAN, kgw.com Staff

SISTERS, Ore. -- Numerous minor earthquakes have shaken the area outside the small Central Oregon town of Sisters in the past two days, raising new questions about a bulge in the nearby Three Sisters Wilderness Area.

Experts are studying a bulge in the Three Sisters Wilderness Area that they believe is linked to the earthquake swarm. Seismologists with the USGS office at the Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Wash., recorded a swarm of 48 small quakes in the area on Tuesday alone. In some cases, the quakes were mere minutes apart.

Experts said the quakes were too small to cause any damage and it’s unlikely residents even felt them.

But they weren’t too small to record on seismographic equipment. The micro-quakes measured up to 1.5 in magnitude.

Experts said the minor quakes continued on Wednesday with the total number exceeding 100 for the two-day period.

Scientists said the earthquakes were centered three miles west of the South Sister volcano.

Seismologists said a bulgenear the volcano seems to be growing and one theory is that it somehow caused the swarm of earthquakes. They first started detecting the bulge in 1997.

The Cascades Volcano Observatory indicated the quakes started at 10 a.m. Tuesday and hit their peak later that day. As of Wednesday evening, they said the quakes were dying down gradually.

The cascades are showing some minor activity. The 3 Sisters and Mt Hood are showing activity as well as Rattlesnake Mt. in the Pasco Basin. (I don't think that is in the Cascade range but it is closer to Yellowstone and is included on the same Webicorder page) It seem to have the most activity.

Here is the link to Rattlesnake Mt.:

Lots of little vibrations... What could it all mean...

Just keeping my eyes open and watching it all happen. :chopper:

Quake in California desert predicted

Scientists expect it by September, L.A. Times reports

MSNBC
Updated: 11:37 a.m. ET Feb. 09, 2004

A team of scientists credited with getting earlier earthquake predictions right now expects a 6.4 magnitude or larger temblor in the Southern California desert by Sept. 5, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.

advertisementLed by UCLA scientist Vladimir Keilis-Borok, the team has been predicting quakes within certain timeframes and geographic regions. That has led to criticism that their work is not precise enough to be useful, but others see it as significant progress in the science.

The team gained visibility last December, when a 6.5-magnitude quake hit near San Simeon, Calif. That's within the 310-mile stretch of California that the team last June predicted would see a quake of magnitude 6.4 or larger within nine months.

The Times reported Sunday that the team's predictions are based on perceived "chains" of small earthquakes that are comparable to past patterns preceding larger quakes in the same area.

Is there any kind of tracking of the jet streams above/around where volcanic earthquake activity is occuring? It just came to me that not only would the event itself be significant, just as important would be "where" any potential ash cloud would go.

I was concerned about a bulge caused by 3 sisters, until I realized that it was a perfectly natural side effect of watching Charmed. :grin

Ok, Three Sisters...

Three Sisters isn't that big of a deal exept for the people who live in the close vacinity of it.
