"Yellowstone being a volcanic center is particularly active", Stickney said.
There have been more than 460 earthquakes in and around Yellowstone National Park, according to seismologists at the University of Utah.
The swarm began last week, and on June 15 saw a magnitude 4.5 quake take place in Yellowstone National Park.
The USGS says the quakes occurred in a backcountry area of Yellowstone National Park, about 8 miles northeast of West Yellowstone, Montana.
"Yeah we get a number of calls about that on what's happening Yellowstone when there is a big quake or a swarm like that and the answer is definitely no", said "Yellowstone is a great place there's nothing to indicate that this warm is out of the ordinary and so far".
YVO is one of the five United States Geological Survey volcano observatories that monitor volcanoes within the United States for science and public safety.
"Finally, rising magma will cause explosions from the boiling-temperature geothermal reservoirs".

Phone records showed she made no such call in January, he said, and instead show she only called Cosby's phone numbers in NY . Steele said the once-beloved Jello pitchman and "America's Dad" even referred to himself as a "dirty old man".
Yellowstone is the site of the largest and most diverse collection of natural thermal features in the world.
The YVO predicts an explosion would be preceded by more dramatic signs.
While it has lain dormant for more than 70,000 years, scientists say that we can't rule out the possibility eruption may some day take place, although they say the chances are extremely slim.
This quake was the largest to have hit Yellowstone since March 30, 2014, when a magnitude 4.8 natural disaster was recorded 18 miles to the east, near the Norris Geyser Basin.
There have been three major "caldera-forming eruptions" in Yellowstone in the last 2.1 million years, the last occuring 640,000 years ago.
Yellowstone National Park is located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
