Several previously “hidden” geological hazards were identified and revealed at Yellowstone National Park in November, including a few active fault lines that could pose significant threats to local communities.
Using LiDAR technology, experts revealed a huge network of fault scarps running for more than 33 miles across the northern ranges of the park between Tom Miner Creek Road and Livingston, Montana, according to data released via ArcGIS. Fault scarps are areas showing signs of previous earthquakes, where ground surface levels on either side of a fault are offset vertically.
Apparently, many of these lines were caused by magnitude 6.5 earthquakes or higher, and are thought to be linked to a wider system that runs through the park, NBC News noted. It’s hoped the new information will allow scientists to better track geological activity across the park, as it poses one of the most significant threats to the existence of humanity.
