A magnitude 3.8 earthquake, with a hypocenter 600 meters directly under the field, struck in the early hours of March 3, 2022. [29] Despite the increases in the number of earthquakes and the fears of local residents, it is unlikely that a large earthquake will occur at the Geysers since there is no fault or fracture nearby.

"Without legitimate oversight of underground injection in Texas, we expect more geyser-like well blowouts, sinkholes, leaks from plugged and unplugged wells, and injection-induced earthquakes ...
[35] [36] Another swarm started in January 2010, after the Haiti earthquake and before the Chile earthquake. With 1,620 small earthquakes between January 17, 2010, and February 1, 2010, this swarm was the second-largest ever recorded in the Yellowstone Caldera. The largest of these shocks was a magnitude 3.8 that occurred on January 21, 2010.
About 250 people from as far away as Nice and San Francisco reported feeling the largest tremor to USGS.
On a few rare occasions the Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity. Several entryways have been clogged due to objects being thrown in by tourists, reducing the hot water supply, and in turn altering the overall appearance of the pool.
A strong 7.0 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of northern California, according to the US Geological Survey. A tsunami warning was initially issued along the coasts of both northern ...
This fault experienced an earthquake in 1959 that measured 7.4 on the Richter scale (sources vary on exact magnitude between 7.1 and 7.8; see 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake). Norris Geyser Basin is so hot and dynamic because these two faults intersect with the ring fracture zone that resulted from the creation of the Yellowstone Caldera of 640,000 ...
Further earthquakes in 2000 revived the geyser, [15] and it reached 122 meters for two days. [citation needed], thus becoming one of the highest known geysers in history. Waimangu Geyser in New Zealand typically erupted higher than this, up to 460 m (1,510 ft) high, [16] but it stopped all activity around 1908.
