    It seems like he’s asking the same basic question over and over again. “Is Mt. St. Helens going to erupt again soon?” And the answer is, “We don’t know.” Thanks for clearing that up.

      You and the geologist know the only thing reporter boy was going to accept was a yes or no answer. He didn't want scientific evidence. He just wanted a sensational news piece and the USGS isn't in to that. The reporter boy is a uneducated boob that wanted something that can't be reasonably given without facts to back it up.❤

    Thank you Greg for an honest and informative take on the increased seismic activity at Mount St Helen's right now. It can be hard when people want definitive answers but there are none. I also learned a new piece of information that the Richter Scale can be negative. Mathematically it makes sense, but I never thought of that before.
    *I don't agree that this 12 minute video could have been 30 seconds, or that the expert from the USGS didn't say anything valuable. He talked about the history of eruptions at MSH, the different eruptive types between 1980 and the 2000's, the historic recurrence interval of eruptions, different ways that they monitor the volcano, how monitoring technology has advanced, what type of seismicity they are seeing now, what that has meant historically, what type of seismicity has indicated an immanent eruption over the last half century, and the historic record of how much time there is between increse in seismic strength and eruption. He concluded by saying given past behavior of MSH it does not appear that an eruption is immanent, but things could change quickly.

I have been out in this area many times, and before the big eruption, when my daughters were elementary/jr. high school age we spent 5 summers out there and we always included one week of it out at the same campsite looking right up at Mt.St.Helen, and the only way you could get to this camp sight was by boat. Fortunately, I have a cousin who still lives out there! But, after reading many of these negative, immature, childish texts said to Greg and Seth, I do not know where my opinion is about wanting to spend more time out there after retirement! I felt very fortunate that their Video popped up for me to have the chance of watching it! I wouldn't of seen these texts (I stopped reading them, it was making me sick), if I hadn't planned on sending Greg and Seth a Thank You text. I hope you are having a Nice Weekend!!

Those whose parents paid a fortune for their education, will say anything to keep the subject matter of their study, in their favor, in order to maintain a sense of superiority.

      Not actually true. I'm a geoscience major, and keep my ear to the ground on geologic goings on. Yellowstone isn't due for another eruption, and that doesn't really have any real meaning. The fact is the volcanic activity is a constant feature of our planet, and has been for 4.5 billion years. There's no real predicting this stuff in any measure far out into the future. never has been.

Cracks on the earth and probably we are seeing this because the earth's temperature went up a bit. It We see the artic ices melting as well. It doesn't matter how the earth temp increased, it did and it is why we are seeing the increase of all of it, hurricanes, and on and on and all of it will increase, more and more.

      If it "erupts", it will be effusive, or just bleeding out of a thousand vents. No large blast as people fear. They should fear the San And Fault slip. That could happen much sooner. If so the West coast will probably slide off underwater and send a wave across the Pacific.

      The last several eruptions have just been lava dome building episodes, not the violent explosion of 1980. It's likely that this eruption would also be similar to the early 2000's eruptions. It depends on the amount of trapped gases in the magma though. Although volcanoes are nothing if not unpredictable.

    I lived through the 1980 eruption! We don`t need another in my lifetime! That blasted volcano ruined a brand new roof. Was barely able to repair & lost 25% of the expected life of the roof. Our property with the roof is in Hillsboro. With all the costs of living in this area increasing to a ridiculous amount this 68 year old native may have to travel the Oregon trail in reverse like the owner of Gales Creek auto wrecking did 30 years ago.

Not being smashed flat by boulders the size of Teslas, and a hundred times heavier, being thrown 50 miles? Priorities aren't really your thing, are they?

We actually drove over into Washington watching the Action when we could we got far enough that where they were turning people around along side of the river and fish were jumping up in the air at the river. I’ve never heard any of anyone else discuss that, but they had seen that I can only assume heat some type of chemical sulfur something being released in the water. I would love to know.

On March 20, 1980 there was a 4.2 magnitude earthquake below the north flank and then there was a swarm of earthquakes that built up on March 25, 1980 for the next two days. There were 174 quakes of 2.6 or greater and one that was 5.1 on the Richter scale. On May 18, 1980, Mt. St. Helens erupted.

      No, the magnitude is a measure of energy released. A magnitude 2 earthquake releases 10X the energy of a magnitude 1 earthquake. Those are 10X the energy of a magnitude 0, and that's 10X the magnitude of a -1 quake.
      Basically, we can measure really, really small quakes.

    • @davidgatzen1543
      @davidgatzen1543 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think that the way he talked about "negative" earthquakes was confusing.
      I think what he was talking about is a negative value on the Richter scale.
      The Richter scale is the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs.
      So what that means is that every time you go up by 1 on the Richter scale the amplitude of the earthquake goes up by ten.
      So if you have an earthquake with magnitude 2, an earthquake with magnitude 3 has an amplitude that is ten times as much.
      An earthquake with magnitude 7 has an amplitude that is 1000 times higher than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
      An earthquake with magnitude negative one has an amplitude that is 10 smaller than a magnitude zero earthquake.
      So basically earthquakes with negative numbers on the Richter scale, are just really small earthquakes, that are so small that you could not feel them. An earthquake with magnitude 1 is too small for people to feel, and an earthquake with magnitude negative one has an amplitude that is 100 times smaller.

    I was just there!! Went to Shasta, Rainier and St. Helen's!! So BEAUTIFUL. I remember vividly when St. Helen's erputed in 1980. I wish I"d seen Mt. St. Helen's before it blew becuase the blast area is AMAZING. I can't imagine how much larger it was prior to that 1980 blast. Rainier is so majestic. My Aunt lived in Montana and her place was coated with ash from that eruption in 1980. My daugther climbs that one, hood and Adams.

    Look at a photo of the mountain looking into the crater from the north in 1980 after the eruption and one from today. It is amazing how fast the mountain is rebuilding itself. In another 45 years, it may have a peak again. If it doesn’t erupt before then.

Maybe another 1000 years we'll learn more but in the meantime, this guy didn't want to answer anything that could make him wrong during his lifetime.

    • @Kiwigeo8339
      @Kiwigeo8339 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If USGS were forced to report every quake that happens it would be beyond their current resources. When resources are limited you prioritise tasks. Even if small events arent reported you can go to USGS website or other sources and freely access wave form data from their instruments. Nobody is hiding anything.

      "Magnitude calculations are based on a logarithmic scale, so a ten-fold drop in amplitude decreases the magnitude by 1.
      If an amplitude of 20 millimetres as measured on a seismic signal corresponds to a magnitude 2 earthquake, then:
      10 times less (2 millimetres) corresponds to a magnitude of 1;
      100 times less (0.2 millimetres) corresponds to magnitude 0;
      1000 times less (0.02 millimetres) corresponds to magnitude -1.
      An earthquake of negative magnitude is a very small earthquake that is not felt by humans." - USGS

    An up-tick. Is that comparable with a second tick rather than a minute? I did not see any charts or any evidence. So how was it supposed to make sense. He could have just been one more alarmist seeing a tiny tremore on a scope from a volcano where tremors are the norm.
