external image A powerful earthquake that rumbled through Alaska in 2002 has affected the geysers hot springs in Yellowstone National Park, a
recent scientific study says. The study recently monitored 22 of the more than 10,000 geysers and hot sprints throughout the national park in Wyoming.
The results have found "notable changes in their eruption intervals."

"We did not expect to see these prolonged changes in the hydrothermal system," seismologist Robert Smith, who helped lead the study, said in a
statement.
Writing in the June issue of the journal Geology , Mr Smith and colleagues said they had recorded about 1,000 small and tiny quakes at Yellowstone
after the Denali quake. They reported this phenomenon at the time.
But they have since found out that hot springs and geysers were affected.

Back in March of 2003, our ATSNN Exclusive,
Interview With USGS Yellowstone Scientists was performed
before the USGS scientists had the results of this new study. While no one has denied Yellowstone is a seismic hotspot, actual eruption of the caldera
super volcano has always been a "sometime in the future" prediction. This recent activity may indicate there is more possibility for an event in the
near future.
