[quote:Anonymous Coward 70197943:MV8yOTQ0NDE5XzUyMDE3OTM3XzY5NTJEN0Mz] [quote:Osmium76:MV8yOTQ0NDE5XzUyMDE3Nzc2XzcwQTcwRjVC] [quote:It's A Secret:MV8yOTQ0NDE5XzUyMDE3NDk4X0JEQUIxOEI=] [quote:Osmium76:MV8yOTQ0NDE5XzUyMDE3NDQ3XzJFQ0JEMjU3] It appears to me that the Idaho/Yellowstone calderas are going hot...... The incident where the two dogs died and the owner was burned in a hot-spring attest to this, along with the earthquake uptick in the region. [/quote] [/quote] Good to know. In any case, the region has been rocking and rolling more so in the last 10 months. I have also noted earthquakes in Eastern Canada whereas prior, I had NEVER seen any, among other places. Now, they are popping off daily. In fact, the trend has increased and I am now noting them in central lower Canada along the border. Western Central Canada in the interior also has been seeing some relatively large quakes and this area too has been quite until recently. These are in conjunction with the WA state region quakes, which are mostly in the 2.0-3.0 range. I think we are witnessing outlaying magma movement and temporary blockages triggering quakes or something along those lines. I believe...the Yellowstone region may be gearing up to create havoc. Its all speculation, but the quakes are drawing closer to that region as time unfolds. [/quote] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis Clathrate gun hypothesis The clathrate gun hypothesis is the popular name given to the hypothesis that increases in sea temperatures (and/or falls in sea level) can trigger the sudden release of methane from methane clathrate compounds buried in seabeds and permafrost which, because the methane itself is a powerful greenhouse gas, leads to further temperature rise and further methane clathrate destabilization – in effect initiating a runaway process as irreversible, once started, as the firing of a gun.[1] In its original form, the hypothesis proposed that the "clathrate gun" could cause abrupt runaway warming on a timescale less than a human lifetime,[1] and was responsible for warming events in and at the end of the last glacial maximum.[2] This is now thought unlikely.[3][4] However, there is stronger evidence that runaway methane clathrate breakdown may have caused drastic alteration of the ocean environment (such as ocean acidification and ocean stratification) and the atmosphere of earth on a number of occasions in the past, over timescales of tens of thousands of years; these events include the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum 56 million years ago, and most notably the Permian–Triassic extinction event, when up to 96% of all marine species became extinct, 252 million years ago.[5] [/quote]
