and therefore nothing to get too concerned over? Do we have any reason to believe this is caused by magma?

And I thought lots of little quakes is a relatively GOOD thing. Doesn't it release the built up pressure in short-bursts instead of letting it build up until it unleashes a monster quake?

I'm a biologist and only slightly familiar with geological principles... sorry for all the questions...

I'm just tempted to believe that all of this concern over the Yellowstone quakes is probably more because too many people have seen those "Yellowstone Super-Volcano" documentaries on Discovery lately vs. this series of small, shallow quakes being anything to worry about.
