The USGS released an update on an underway swarm of earthquakes rocking parts of Idaho well west of Yellowstone on November 29. For the last 20 months, seismic activity in central Idaho has been high. These earthquakes are aftershocks of a magnitude 6.5 earthquake that took place on March 31, 2020, according to the USGS.
Scientists are currently trying to confirm a record-breaking temblor. If they succeed, it would fundamentally alter how geologists see earthquakes. The improbable earthquake occurred 467 miles beneath the surface of the planet, at a layer known as the lower mantle. There have been clues of lower mantle quakes here and there, but scientists have never been able to locate them.
A powerful, winter-like storm is expected to sweep through the Rockies next week, bringing broad accumulating snowfall that will be a pleasant sight for snow enthusiasts and benefit ski resorts early in the season. Instead of inches, snowfall totals might be reported in feet.
