Horrible Today: Seconds" Yellowstone Volcano' Erupts Recorded Live, quakes Millions shocked Tourists
A 2.6-magnitude earthquake shook the area near Yellowstone National Park late Sunday evening, raising interest in the region’s geological activity. The quake, centered 61 kilometers southeast of West Yellowstone near Flat Mountain and Yellowstone Lake, occurred at 11:31 p.m. local time. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported the tremor at a depth of 5.2 kilometers.
While no damage or injuries have been reported, this minor earthquake is a reminder of the active geological processes beneath Yellowstone. The area experiences 1,500 to 2,500 earthquakes each year, most of them too small to feel. According to the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, these frequent quakes are caused by the shifting of the Earth’s crust and are typical for volcanic regions like Yellowstone.
