The Yellowstone Volcano did not last very long. It lasted for about a minute.
The magma in the earth had to go somewhere and it has accumulated around the Yellowstone area for many thousands of years.
Earthquakes occur quite frequently in Wyoming, especially in the area of Yellowstone National Park. About 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes strike Yellowstone each year, according to the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. Also, there is no way to know how many earthquakes from the first one, as there is no record of the first earthquake in Wyoming.
Yes, Yellowstone National Park is situated on a supervolcano hotspot known as the Yellowstone Caldera. This supervolcano has had major eruptions in the past, with the most recent one occurring around 640,000 years ago. While there are many geothermal features in the park related to volcanic activity, Yellowstone itself is not made up of many individual volcanoes.
No. compared to many other volcanoes, the eruption from Vesuvius was small. There are things called "supercvolcanoes". The most famous one i can think of being Yellowstone. Nearly the entire Yellowstone National Park is settled inside the caldera of the volcano. The magma chamber from Yellowstone is big enough to hold New York City. There are other supervolcanoes in the world, and not all are extinct(such as Yellowstone. Which is overdue for an eruption by a couple thousand years). They are the ones that are real dangers.

How many geysers are in Yellowstone National Park?
The driving distance between St George, UT and West Yellowstone, MT is 620 miles and takes approximately 10 hours and 11 minutes.
Yellowstone has had three major eruptions in the last 2.2 million years, with the most recent occurring about 640,000 years ago. These eruptions were some of the largest volcanic events in Earth's history.
Although they can last longer most weak tornadoes last less than 5 minutes.
Not enough to make us safe in the UK from the consequences, if the volcano below Yellowstone should blow. Basically it might mean the end of civilization as we know it. The disaster would be on a huge scale, and nowhere on Earth woul escape the concsequences.
yes bunbury senior high school is built on a volcano but it is not active and erupted last many many many years ago
