Magma Rising To Earth’s Surface In Hot Glob Below US Northeast - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE]People living in New England are sitting on top of a giant bubble of warm rock that is slowly lifting up toward Earth’s surface and will one day pop in a huge volcanic eruption, new research indicates. The explosion probably won’t happen for millions of years, but it could be devastating to whatever lives in Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire when the time comes, according to Rutgers University. Other states may also be affected by the rising rock, which is a smaller version of the magma blobs that ascend to the surface beneath active volcanoes before they erupt. “The upwelling we detected is like a hot air balloon, and we infer that something is rising up through the deeper part of our planet under New England,” Rutgers geophysicist Vadim Levin said in a statement. He added that the impending eruption won’t reach the scale of the Yellowstone supervolcano in the mountain states of the western United States, but it would be a “distant relative” of the kind of monster explosion Yellowstone is capable of producing. A team of geologists measured seismic activity across the U.S., finding vibrations that suggest an upwelling mass of rock underneath the northeastern region that stretches for a couple hundred miles.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.ibtimes.com/magma-rising-earths-surface-hot-glob-below-us-northeast-2629863[/url] Amazing we are witnessing the beginnings of a Volcano.

Are there any volcanoes in the Northeast and the East Coast in general including extinct ones?

Finally, the cause of global warming has been found.

[quote]He added that the impending eruption won’t reach the scale of the Yellowstone supervolcano in the mountain states of the western United States, but it would be a “distant relative” of the kind of monster explosion Yellowstone is capable of producing.[/quote] Considering the scale of what Yellowstone would do when it eventually goes pop, this one sounds like its could fuck up everything just as bad. Talking about volcanic induced ice age all over again. Luckily we wont be around for when this one decides to go pop, Yellowstone however. :v:

[QUOTE=Reagy;52988644]Luckily we wont be around for when this one decides to go pop, Yellowstone however. :v:[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure Yellowstone is at least hundreds of thousands of years off from popping.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;52988649]I'm pretty sure Yellowstone is at least hundreds of thousands of years off from popping.[/QUOTE] Within, we don't know when. It could be tomorrow, it could be today five years from now.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;52988649]I'm pretty sure Yellowstone is at least hundreds of thousands of years off from popping.[/QUOTE] Anyone could guess, all we know is that its got a nice pattern of going off ever 600k years and its due to go again soon, when it'll pop, we don't know. But its gonna, eventually. Theres also bits that point to Yellowstone's super volcano actually being multiple volcanoes, each that can erupt independently, so it could pop twice or even more, or all at once which would be basically the entire basin going poof. Still not worth being concerned about it too much, its one of the few things we can't actually control to a degree, its down to the surface to decide if it wants to let the big boy pop his load or not.

Most I can find is related to ocean volcanoes off the coast (referencing earthquakes etc) and stuff saying that the east coast doesn't have what it takes to support volcanic activity. Damn sure there is some inactive and extinct ones there though.

[QUOTE=Digivee;52988595]Finally, the cause of global warming has been found.[/QUOTE] There are far too many people who’ll unironically say that

if yellowstone was going to pop we would have fair warning, the first signs of an eruption appear several years if not decades before it erupts and more imminent eruptions have clear signs weeks and months in advance

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;52988649]I'm pretty sure Yellowstone is at least hundreds of thousands of years off from popping.[/QUOTE] Geologically speaking, Yellowstone is waaay overdue.

[QUOTE=koeniginator;52988838]if yellowstone was going to pop we would have fair warning, the first signs of an eruption appear several years if not decades before it erupts and more imminent eruptions have clear signs weeks and months in advance[/QUOTE] Not necessarily.

Fun fact: in the areas at risk here in Washington state you can actually buy Volcano insurance So get in early on that folks in New England, before the rates go up :v:

[QUOTE=paindoc;52989085]Fun fact: in the areas at risk here in Washington state you can actually buy Volcano insurance So get in early on that folks in New England, before the rates go up :v:[/QUOTE] I'm sure that'll be useful when you and your home are atomized by an earth-shattering explosion beneath you.

[QUOTE=paindoc;52989085]Fun fact: in the areas at risk here in Washington state you can actually buy Volcano insurance So get in early on that folks in New England, before the rates go up :v:[/QUOTE] How much does something that unlikely cost anyway? $10 A month? :v:

[QUOTE=TheMrFailz;52989658]It's all jokes until you come home from vacation and find out you're about to make a bazillion dollars because a volcano vaporized your house.[/QUOTE] And then you realise it vaporized the insurance company too.

[QUOTE=Headhumpy;52989662]And then you realise it vaporized the insurance company too.[/QUOTE] We'll make the insurance company's insurance company pay for it.

That magma is lost. Us sodomites and godless liberals are on the other side of the country.

If Yellowstone did go apeshit again, would it be anything like the movie 2012? If so, gg America.

Fucking hell, I really wish I wasn't reminded about Yellowstone. The thought of it being "overdue" used to eat me alive.

[QUOTE=Kylel999;52989632]How much does something that unlikely cost anyway? $10 A month? :v:[/QUOTE] Correction to my original comment: its apparently either mandated or fulfilled by the state, after a little research. Kinda like flood insurance. The big problem with pretty ol' rainier is that it'll create a rather large pyroclastic flow and lahar, potentially wiping out towns in it's path. In the worst scenarios, this eruption can reach all the way to the Puget Sound (meaning potentially passing through urban seattle areas).

The thought of it being "overdue" used to eat me alive.[/QUOTE] overdue geologically is still easily a 100+ years, at [I]minimum[/I]. Also: [quote] According to analysis of earthquake data in 2013, the magma chamber is 80 km (50 mi) long and 20 km (12 mi) wide. It also has 4,000 km3 (960 cu mi) underground volume, of which 6–8% is filled with molten rock. This is about 2.5 times bigger than scientists had previously imagined it to be; however, scientists believe that the proportion of molten rock in the chamber is much too low to allow another supereruption[/quote]

that's my professor what a guy

[QUOTE]“It will likely take millions of years for the upwelling to get where it’s going,” he said. “The next step is to try to understand how exactly it’s happening.”[/QUOTE] Crud. I was hoping something exciting would happen here for once.

Fuckin magma won't stand a chance once it hits the surface my guy, too goddamn cold here in new hampshire

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;52992923]Fuckin magma won't stand a chance once it hits the surface my guy, too goddamn cold here in new hampshire[/QUOTE] Aye, Vermont here, we'll throw rocks at the magma and it'll go away.
