The park is also a hotspot for seismic activity, with an average of 1,500 to 2,500 earthquakes per year. In 2023, there were 1,623 earthquakes, which is considered average.

They then induced seismic activity themselves, using a Vibroseis truck to send artificial vibrations through Yellowstone's subsurface in 110 separate locations.

In terms of earthquake activity in the Yellowstone region, it is typical for the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory to state that the area experiences 1,500–2,500 earthquakes per year.

Physicist Domenico Vicinanza used software to convert Yellowstone's seismic data into sheet music. The sharper the shake, the more dramatic the melody.

“The new Yellowstone volcano and earthquake monitoring plan builds upon improvements to monitoring systems in the region while also accounting for new insights into the dynamics of the area’s seismic, ...

This images released by the National Park Service shows debris from a boardwalk, damaged by a hydrothermal explosion at Biscuit Basin, in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.

Most travelers picture Yellowstone when Wyoming comes up, but Grand Teton sits just to the south and rarely gets its due. The ...

Poland and other scientists are trying to change that with a fledgling monitoring system that was recently installed in another Yellowstone geyser basin. It measures seismic activity, deformations ...

And, there aren’t frequent earthquakes going on at Yellowstone right now. In fact, there are far fewer earthquakes so far in 2025 than for an average year,” the U.S. Geological Survey replied.

To trace Yellowstone’s magma chamber, past research has turned to the University of Utah’s array of permanent seismograph stations, which monitor seismic activity throughout Yellowstone. Readings ...

It measures seismic activity, deformations in the Earth’s surface and low-frequency acoustic energy that could signal an eruption. PHOTOS: Surprise Yellowstone geyser eruption highlights little ...
