The beach in question was along Stanley Lake and, despite the earthquake that occurred on March 31, the aftermath continues to occur. Although the earthquake has already spread across the United States, it seems that Idaho has not stopped shaking. It may not be the largest earthquake, but it is certainly the second largest earthquake to hit Idaho, according to the Idaho statesman.
USG Volcanoes updated concerned Twitter followers about the Yellowstone Volcano last night.
They said, “The Idaho earthquakes are aftershocks of the March 31 M6.5 tectonic earthquake related to the western extent of the United States. It has nothing to do with Yellowstone.”
This was in response to the question: “With #Idaho still shaking, could you activate the Supervolcano in #Yellowstone?”
Since the last earthquake, the state of Idaho has been experiencing a series of aftershocks.
Some of these aftershocks also, registering up to 4.8 on the Richter scale.
Unfortunately for residents, the aftermath has been so severe that a popular beach has sunk underwater.
This was supposed to be along Lake Stanley where the Sawtooth National Recreation Area has sunk into the water.

Several scientists are under the impression that the sawtooth failure is longer than previously thought.
According to Popular Mechanics, others suspect that the fault takes full advantage of openings in the Earth’s crust and is slowly moving north.
The recent earthquake could have been caused by a power jump between the fault.
Because earthquakes that occur far away from the boundaries of the tectonic plate may be persistent aftershocks of larger earthquakes from the distant past.
The researchers have now set out on a new mission to learn more by collecting comprehensive seismic data and analyzing local soil.
They are configured to use LIDAR, a high-end equipment used to guess distances.
Yellowstone won’t necessarily face an eruption anytime soon, even though Idaho is still experiencing tremors.
It last erupted 70,000 years ago, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and an astonishing 10,000 magnitude 6 or greater earthquake has since been recorded in the country’s western fringe.
There is nothing close to what the supervolcano eruption did.
