The volatile Yellowstone supervolka was hit by 91 quakes in just 24 hours this week. In this regard, the Yellowstone volcano was shaken by a total of 82 earthquakes throughout the month of August. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed the quake’s pests – but claimed that most of them were purpose-inspired by scientists.
In a worrying turn, Michael Poland, the scientist in charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, revealed that a ‘seismic vibrator’ was used to accelerate the quake.
The so-called “vibrosis” or “seismic vibrator” is a truck-mounted device capable of injecting low-frequency vibrations into the deepest depths of the earth.
Dr. Poland confirmed that the USGS. A set up the machine to induce seismic activity in the area as part of the experiment.
The purpose of the test, conducted by the University of Utah and the University of New Mexico, was to create images of Yellowstone’s magma chamber – the so-called “supervicular c”.

The magnitude of the earthquake in the volatile region, which can be understood for the duration of the eruption, caused concern among observers.
An enthusiast from Yellowstone, who runs the YouTube channel Mr MBB333, said the quake had been pounding the area “for hours”.
He said: “Some of these earthquakes were only 0.7 miles deep, so they are close to the surface.
“There’s been a lot of activity around Yellowstone. I haven’t seen Yellowstone Supervolcans involved in this in a long time.”
Others simply commented: “Don’t mess with Mother Nature.”
Yellowstone is a U.S. Is the most seismically active area.
Dr. Poland said: “This cluster of earthquakes has a large side in terms of number and magnitude, but nowhere near the largest.”
USGS Accordingly, the park typically experiences an average of 1,500 to 2,000 earthquakes each year.
