We have been studying plate movements and how it relates to volcanoes. How do scientist know that the plates are moving? What tools do they use to measure the changes at Yellowstone National Park? What has recently been happening at Yellowstone? Is this something new or has it been happening before? How is this linked to the hot springs and geysers? Read the article and watch the video to find out. Give us your thoughts based upon the evidence.
Yellowstone Uplift

Scientist use GPS's and InSAR to measure the changes.
At Yellowstone, there is an uplift in the land above the caldera.
This has ready happened before and has been happening for a long time.
Yellowstones hydrothermal system causes the geysers and all of the attractions.
im 1st:)
scientists use seismographs to plot the plate boundaries, and thus, track the movement. (and GPS. Oh and the inSAR)Recently, the caldera has bulged at 2.8 centimeters a year, andf then it slowed. This has happened before. The geysers and springs are little burps from the Caldera. CAPTAIN KIRK WAS HERE.
the know the plates are moving because of the uplifts that yellow stone has. They use a GPS and a inSAR.Yellow stone has been having uplifts recently. This has been happening for years. The gysers are are linked to this because there is flowing magma in the crust of the earth and heats hotsprings and sets off gysers.
Kaptin Kirk was here too.
Scientists know the plates are moving because the crust is rising and smething has to be making it do that. They use GPS'and InSAR(interferometric synthetic aperture radar). Recently the crust has been rising more dramatically than usual, but this has happened in the past. It's linked to geysers and hot springs because it gives us proof that there is magma in the crust because of the hydrothermal activity.
@LUKE
why would you add captain kirk in it
@ Luke I thought it has risen ten inches recently becaue 2. 8 inches is its usual!
Scientist know that the plates are moving by studing the ocean-floor magnetic striping to determine the rate and direction of movement of the plates. The tools they use are radars and global positioning systems. Well right now there is so much heat coming out of yellowstone. They are all hard to check when it could erupte. I think Yellowstone Park has alot of new facts to learn and I hope to learn more.
@ dave
are you sure that the hydrothermal system causes all of the attractions
@Bonnie
I know, me too!
@ Schirmy.
And the suns superheated radioactive waves superheat the core and make it spin faster, and so there is more friction between the core and the mantle, so there is more pressure, and then the volcano will explode and ->captain kirk will have to save us.<- (ok, the first half was factual.) the arrows mean its not true.
They are useing global positioning systems and radars. There is so much heat going on they don't know what to think
Sarah Savard
@luke Has'nt it not risen and stay at 2.8inches? Or has it risen? Please tell me!!!!
Scienist know that the plates are moving because they use the GPS and inSAR. Right now there is has been so much heat coming out of Yellowstone. This happened before a while ago.
@ SANZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE
Ok, between 1970 and 2008 the average amount the caldera has risen wa 2.8 centimeters, A YEAR. since then, its still rising, just not as much.
Yellowstone Volcano Observatory have been mapping the caldera's rise and fall using tools like GPS systems and InSAR which gives ground-deformation measurements.
Ground deformation can suggest that magma is moving toward the surface so it has happened before.The caldera rose about 7 inches between 1976 and 1984 before dropping back about 5.5 inches. The large hydrothermal system just below Yellowstones surface which produces many of the park's top tourist attractions may also play a role in ground swelling.
scientists saw the ground above the caldera rise upward and also use gps system.
They use gps's and inSAR to measure changes.
Their is an uplift in the land ubove Caldera.
The ground has been rising and falling for thousands of years but their has been no erruption.
Yellowstones hydrothermal system causes the geysers and all of the attractions.
Scientist know plates are moving because the uplifts yellowstone had.Scientists use GPS's and InSAR to measure changes. There is an uplift in the land above the caldera.
The ground has been rising and falling thousands of years but there hasnt been an eruption.
Yellowstones hydrothermal system makes the geysers and hot springs.
GPS's and inSAR help them know the plates are moveing.the ground has swelled.I wouldnt say its new cause the valcanoe has been active for lots of years.This is what causes the geysers and springs
Scientist use GPS and an InSAR radar to measure changes that occur at Yellowstone.
At Yellow, there is an upift in the ground above the caldera.
The land uprising has already happened and has been happening for a long time now.
@anna i agree but i wonder if its going to erupt dont you? I want to learn more facts but i'd probably get freaked out :) but we could learn them and know alot about yelllowstone
the tools that scientists use are seismographs to measure changes, recent happenings are that there are uplifts, and no these things have happend before.and they both have megma in the crust that sets off gysers
THIS IS WAT KILMOTURTLE SAID IN RESPONSE TO THE NAT GEO POST---- My biggest fear is that the rectal ring in the lower quadrant of the elepticillian core will be exposed to the radiation, produced not by the sun, but by the Romulan Forcillian Captuary. Our only hope is that Captain Kirk can penetrate the time septic in the Villian Obitor region and help us release the build-up of gases, using the Rodiant Pentercil that they used on plantet U-Rass75. If the balloon can be penetrated with this uptillian needle, the gases may be released and captured, and used by Captain Kirk and his crew to power their Migdion power source, thus leaving this planet to boldly go where we will not, if we do not stop this imminent catastrophe of Mezezoic proportions. Thank you
The scientists use GPS's and InSAR to measure the changes. Scientists can tell the plates are moving because the crust is rising. There is magma in the crust said a man that studies volcanoes. He says he knows because it has to or else they wouldn't be getting the hydrothermal activity wwe are getting. So this is linked to geysers.
@ kaylee
i think that i would be freaking out if Yellowstone exploded.
@luke Okay! Thanks, now I know more!
@ david
You never know captain kirk may be are only hope so dont make him made then he will not save us
@ kaylee sturwold
the caledera has risen 7 inches !
i didnt know that?
@Anna
I know! Yellowstone is very interesting and I would love to learn more!
@ Megan C:
I didnt know that scientist also used seismographs!
@ Kaylee,
I wonder if it could ever erupt soon. I would also be freaked out. I want to learn more.
Scientist use GPS' and InSAR to measure plate movement and overall geographical movement.At Yellowstone there has been uplift in the land around the caldera.This is nothing new at Yellowstone, this has been happening for a long time and will continue.The hydrothermal energy/system at Yellowstone causes the gysers(and the other things that attract people)to do what they do.
Scientist use GPS's and InSAR to measure the changes.
At Yellowstone, there is an uplift in the land above the caldera.
Well right now there is a lot of heat coming out of yellowstone.
This has been happening before.
It's linked to geysers and hot springs because it gives us proof that there is magma in the crust because of the hydrothermal activity.
@david
He added captain Kirk to this all because he read a funny post and figured he'd share it,with everyone.
scientists know that plates are moving because the crust is rising and this one scientist said,"There has to be magma in the crust or we wouldnt be having all this hydrothermal activity that we have."
They use GPS and inSAR to measure the changes at Yellowstone.
The crust has been rising more dramatically over the past years.
the know the plates are moving because of the uplifts that yellow stone has. They use a GPS and a inSAR.Yellow stone has been having uplifts that have recently happend. This has been happening for years. The gysers are linked to this because there is alot of flowing magma in the crust of the earth that heats the hotsprings and sets off gysers.

Sciencist know plated are moving because of earthquakes and erupitons. Sciencist use GPS's and inSAR to measure changes. Yellow stone has had uplifts lately. Over years this has been happenening. The gysers are linked to this because there is flowing magma in the crust of the earth and the heats hotsprings and sets off gysers.
the GPS and SAR to find changes and.
At yellowstone, an uplift is happening above the caldera
this happened before and is continuiously happening, the hydrothermal systum makes the geysers happen
i ageree with bonnie! u are correct!
The scientists use GPS's and InSAR to measure the changes. Scientist know the plates are moving because the crust is rising up. The ground has been rising and falling for thousands of years but there has not been an eruption.This is linked to geysers and hot springs because it gives us proof that there is magma in the crust because of the hydrothermal activity.
@ Anna Sanzere
I think yellow stone is interesting to... i wonder if there will be anymore things to learn about yellow stone
the scientist working there use gpses and insar to get the masure of changes each year.
the sientists use seismographs to track movement they also use insars and gps to measure changes there is an uplift above yellowstones calderathe hydrothermal system cause the gysers to errupt
scientists use different technology to know when plates move. they use a GPS andd insar at yellowstone. there is a bulge in the pocket. it has happened before. its linked because its hot due to lava causing geysers to shoot up.
Scientist no the plates are moving because of the work of seismographs. This is helping us keep track on everything the plates or doing in a ordering way.
They no the plates are miving because it had been a dramitic change in the surface. they use many tools but as before i said ther seismograph. what has begun in Yellowstone is theb calderas rise and fall during this period of time. kinda both it has been happining but it has changed alot recently. Its linked because of the caldera.
--Sydney Polking--
Scientist use GPS's and InSAR to measure the changes.
Recently the crust has been rising more dramatically than usual
this has been happining for a long time.
Yellowstones hydrothermal system causes the geysers.
i Agree with jenn and anna because it is very interasting in the way things cahange.
--SYdney Polking--
i think it will erupt but not be a super volcanoe i think it will be bigger than mt st helens but i hope it doesn't erupt
@Jennifer
i agree i do want to learn more about yellowstone
The continents are moving farther away or getting closer and there are more and more volcanos and earthquakes. THey are watching as the plates continue to move.
@luke
who is captain kirk
Scientist know that the plates are moving by studing the ocean-floor magnetic striping to determine the rate and direction of movement of the plates. Scientist use GPS's and InSAR or radars to measure the changes. At yellostone, there is a uplift in the land above the cauldera.
@JenniferPeters
They are using alot of equiptment to find ot why the magma is forcing the crust to rise causing the plates to move.
@ Anna Sanzere
I agree, Yellowstone is an interesting place and we can learn a lot of things from it.
scients know that the plates are moving because they use GPS and satillite.
recently, at yellowstone, there has been an uprise in the ground level.
this has happened before but it not as much as now.
this is linked to hot springs and gysers because that is how the water get heated and shot out of the opening in the ground (cauldra heats it and pressures it out of the ground)
i think that there will be an eruption at yellowstone, sooner than later.
@ michael & luke
yeah, who is captin kirk???

@luke
lol, what is captain kurk ?(:
@ David Reddington,(:
Thanks for letting me know what scientst use to measure changes so now i know that they use GPS's And inSAR to measure things in science,(: haha
the scientists us instruments like GPS and InSARto measure the changes in the crust. the hydrothermal system is what allows us to have attractions, but really what it does is the magma heats the ground water, then forces it through the ground. the movement in the crust has happened before in the past, the crust will most likely stop rising and sink again soon. scientists know that the plates are moveing because if the plates wern't moveing then how would we describe the earthquakes that occur?
The scientists know when the plates are moving because they use GPS' and InSAR todetect the changes in movement. yellowstone has recently been having uplifts.this has been happening over the past years. its linked because the lava is so hot it causes the grysers to shoot up
scientist know that the plates are moving because we are geting an earthqakes and volcanos. they also used tools to mesuar the plates vibration, how fast its going, how strong it was and more. Yellowstone has been steming lately.yes it is new.
At Yellowstone, there is an uplift in the land above the caldera.
This has ready happened before and has been happening for a long time.
Yellowstones hydrothermal system causes the geysers and all of the attractions.

david reddington-ya i think the yellowstone is there an uplift land above the caldera i was wounderingthat two that would be so cool
They know the plates are moving because of the uplifts that yellow stone has been having. They use a GPS and a inSAR.Yellow stone has been having uplifts recently.Uplifts have been happening for many years. The gysers are are linked to this activity because there is flowing magma in the crust of the earth and heats hotsprings and sets off gysers.
Scientists use GPS's and inSAR to measure it.
the rate slowed a centimeter less than before
it is not new it has been happening log before.
a system causes the geysers and all of the attractions to go off.
I think all of the magma is going to erupt with a large explosion
Scientists know that plates are moving because they are doing things such as making mountains taller. They use sisemographs to monitor activity at Yellowstone Park. Recently the caldera under Yellowstone was making land above it lift up. This is not someting new it has happened before. The hydrothermal system at Yellowstone is the cause of the geysers and hot springs. The article was interesting and the video was cool to.
they know the plates are moving because the rise and fall of the caldera.they use gps and insar to track the movement.
yellowstone has been swelling by as much as 10 inches. this has happening before. they think this may be happening because the thermal system just below the surface of yellowstone which fuels geysers and hotsprings may be sealing up and pressurizing.
Yellowstone
We have been studying plate movements and how it relates to volcanoes.
The yellowstone has recently been
erupting
Austin Deller
@ Jennifer Peters
I agree, our whole universe is interesting. It is so complex and so many things depend on eachother to work.
they have special tools to help then figure out when and how much did the plates move. they use gps and insar to measure the changes.
Scientists know that the plates are moving.And so they r trying to figure out what causes these plates & why?.
Austin Breiner
@ lauren staulbaum
i agree. based on the evidence i fear there may be an eruption soon. look at the video,at first they didnt think there would be a super eruption
p.s.
captain kirk was the captain on startrek
@ Anna Sanzere
Yeah, we can learn a lot from Yellowstone. Besides plate tectonics you could also learn about things like wildlife.
I Agree with Jenn and Anna S. because it is very interasting when things change and I would also like too.
*I would also like to learn more.*
@Sydney
did you know it has risen 2.8 cm a year! thats high!!
How do scientist know that the plates are moving?they have recorded the ground swelling upwards.
What tools do they use to measure the changes at Yellowstone National Park?Gps and inSAR
What has recently been happening at Yellowstone?the ground has been rising faster than usual.
Is this something new or has it been happening before?it has been happening before.
How is this linked to the hot springs and geysers? the springs and geysers are proof of the caldera.
they know that they are moveing because they use seismographes to find what plates are moving and they also use GPS's and sar's. they use radars and global posisioning. this has happend befor there was an uplifed in the land that is above caldera. it causes the springs and geysers to give clues that there was megma in the crust becouse of hydrothermal system. and captin kirk wes even there.

@ alyssa weber
I agree that is high for evey year and its also kinda scary.
david reddington-we have the same answers but not all of them are the same i have alittle bit more than you but u have so,me good news.
@ alyssa weber that is very interesting how it could rise up like that each year.
ANDREW reis
scientist know when plates are moving because the crust rises.
scienttist use gp's and insar.
what been happing resenly at yellow stone is up lifts in the ground.
nothing is happing new.
its linked to the hot springs and geysers by the heat beneath the erths crust.
the ground above the magma chamber has been riseing. the magma heats the water makeing the geysers and hot springs. they us gps and inSAR to map the rise of the ground.
scientist use GPS'S and in SAR to measur the changes, scientist know how the plates are moving because the crust rises, at yellow stone there has ben a uplift in the land above the caldera, this has ready happend befor and has been happing for a long time, yellowstones hydrothermal sistem causes the gegysers and all of the attaction.
what i think of a big volcano under yellowestone that can end the world that max me scared. i dont want to think of the world ending enetime soon.all i wana do is have a good life and die when im ethur 100 or 150 or over.it already hapend once i dont want it to hapen again.
Scientist know that the plates are moving because of the rising(uplifts) around yellowstone.The tools they use are GPS's and SAR's.Recentally at yellowstone the crust has been rising in dramatic amounts. This is something that has happened before.They are linked because it tells uss that there is massive amounts of magma beaneath the volcanoe.
Scientist use GPS's and InSAR to measure the changes in the park. there is an uplift in the land above the caldera.
This has happend before and has been going on for a long time.
Scientist use GPS's and InSAR to measure the changes.
At Yellowstone there is an uplift in the land above the caldera This has ready happened before and has been happening for a long time.
Yellowstones hydrothermal system causes the geysers and all of the attractions ifing this reallly cool
SCIENTIST use gps in sar to measure the change.At yellow there is an uplift in land above the calera.Yellowstone hydrothermal system causes the geysers and all of the attractions.
@ Abby
Same here I don't know what i would really do if yellow stone exploded. I know in the mocie it said 1 to 2 cenimeters but still that stuff is like snow how do things react to about an inch or 2 of snow!?!?
scienctist use gps's and insar to measure the changes At yellowstone in the beginning in 2004, scientists saw the ground above the caldera rise upward at rates as high as 2.8 inches. this has happen before and for a long time.this is linked to hot springs and geysers by know there is proof thats there is mgma in the earths crust and having to do with the hydrothermal activity.
@anna
hi. so nice coment about the artitcal.
Scientist know that the plates are moving by studing the ocean-floor magnetic striping to determine the rate and direction of movement of the plates. The tools they use are radars and global positioning systems. Well right now there is so much heat coming out of yellowstone. They are all hard to check when it could erupte. I think Yellowstone Park has alot of new facts to learn and I hope to learn more.
they use gps&insar .
the lift is near caldera
it has happed before,for over 2.1millon years
yellowstone has steam tha creates the hot bubling water and old fatful.
The scientists know the plates are moving because the crust is rising.
The tools they use are the GPS and the inSAR. Recently over the years, Yellowstone has had uplifts. This has been happening before. This causes the geysers and hot springs to do what they do.
@ LUKE
Then how much has it risen to in the past few years has it risen or dropped what is the answer to this will it stay the same or go up or down????
@ david reddington
the also loom at the ocen floor to see how plates move.
Scientest know that the plates are moving beacuse the crust is rising they use gps to meauser the changesRecently, the caldera has bulged at 2.8 centimeters a year
re katie matin:
our ansers atre similer. it seems like they are studdying or copying of of david.
Scientist know that the plates are moving because the ground in Yellowstone is rising and falling as years/decades go by. They use InSAR, and GPSes(? to the es?) What has been happenning to Yellowstone is that the ground there has been rising and falling as years/decades go by. It isn't new and really shouldn't be something we should be worried about, it has been rising and falling for a long time, meaning many years, hundreds maybe? This is linked to hot springs and geysers because the large hydrothermal system under Yellowstone may be a part of the cause of the rising and falling.
I feel that this is nothing for us to be worried about if it has been happening for so long, but if it just started, say in the last 50-70 years or so then that would be something we should look at. If it has been happeneing for the last couple hundred years, then we have nothing to worry about at all.
@alison are you sure yellowstones hydrothermal system causes the geysers and all of the attractions
@David Reddington
I agree with Brandon, does the hydrothermal system cause all of the atracions.
Scientists know that the plates are moving because crust is rising.
Tools thats people at Yellowstone use to measure the changes are GPS's and inSAR.
What has been recently happening at Yellowstone is that the ground above the caldera has been swelling.
This has happened before.
This is linked to springs and geysers because it prooves that there is magma in the crust, which causes some pressure to be released out in the springs and geysers.
Yellowstone Volcano Observatory have been mapping the caldera's rise and fall using tools like gps systems and Insar which gives ground-deformation measurements.
Ground deformation can suggest that magma is moving toward the surface so it has happened before.The caldera rose about 7 inches between 1976 and 1984 before dropping back about 5.5 inches. The large hydrothermal system just below Yellowstones surface which produces many of the park's top tourist attractions may also play a role in ground swelling.

@Noah
I agree it has been occuring like that for thousands of years so Im not worried about it. I think that there will be another eruption though, but not for a while.
Scientist use GPS's to measure the changes.
At Yellowstone there's an uplift in the land above the underground volcanoe.
This has happening for a long time.
Yellowstone's hydrothermal system causes the geysers and all of the attractions.
The scientist used GPS's to measure the changes. There is so much heat coming out of the yellowstone. This has happen before.
@luke umm sorry luke david reddington was first! :D lol!!! (your pencil broke itself.)
@John Dinger
Personally I feel that we have nothing to worry about. I don't think that there is going to be an eruption any time soon, I mean there hasn't been much evidence.
Also I think some people are copying others, I have seen many posts that look similar to Luke's saying about 'Captain Kirk was there!' Luke got it from the comments on the site, it was a from a funny post. I seriously doubt that people that read that post would say that same thing. It just makes me suspicious.
@ jennifer
I agree with you i want to learn more about the yellowstone.
Scienctists know plates are moving because the crust is moving so somthing has to move them which scienctists think plates are the cause. The tools they use to measure changes in Yellowstone is the global positioning system or Gps and the InSAR. The cladera in Yellowstone has been going "up and down" do the flow of magma. This has been happening before. It is linked to the hot springs because the hydrothermal activity has caused the magma th warm up water and cause springs to explode. I think this is enough evidence to support the hypothosis of Yellowstone and should really be put into consideration.
@Luke
By "burps" you mean small little realases of explosions right? It would be intersting to see a seismograph wouldn't it? I wonder how could scienctists get all of that information?
Joshua parsons- They know the plates are moving because of things like continental drift and plate movement answers that. They use detecters and seismagraph. The yellowstone has been taking regular breaths. This is not new. The magma chambers under ground and in the crust are linked to springs and geysers. I think the yellowstone is just going to continue in its cycle.
Scientists know that the plates are moving because of the uplifts that Yellowstone is experimented.
Scientists use global positioning systems (GPS), and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to measure the changes at Yellowstone.
Uplifts have been happening by as much as 10 inches (25 centimeters) in places.
This has been happening before because the article said,"there are many examples, including the Yellowstone super volcano, where it appears the ground has risen and fallen for thousands of years without an eruption."
This is linked to the hot springs and geysers because it tells us that there is magma in the crust because of the hydrothermal activity.
@Lauren
Why do you think there will be an eruption sooner than later?
Scientists know the plates are moving because there is an uplift in the land above the Caldara.
The tools scientists use to measure the changes at Yellowstone national park are the GP'S and InSAR.
At Yellowstone the ground is rising more rapidly, although this has happened before.
This is linked to the hot springs and the geysers because its proof that there is magma in the Earths crust judging by the hydrothermal activity.
I twould like to learn more on Yellowstane and all of it crazy history.
@Anna Sanzere
I think that there has to be more facts about Yellowstone National Park. (:
When it changes the movement everyday. They use gps's & insar's to measure the changes in yellowstone national park. It happened a long time ago. Has happen before.
