How height is Yellowstone volcano?
I think you are asking "How high" in elevation. Yellowstone NP encompasses most of the Yellowstone volcanic center/hot spot/caldera, which is a plateau. The highest elevation for the caldera is around 7,733 feet above sea level although the highest point "Eagle Peak" is 11,358 feet above sea level and the lowest point "Reese Creek" is 5,282 feet ABSL. http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/about/index.php
What is the elevation of la garita caldera?

What is the name of the lake with the highest altitude in north America?
Yellowstone Lake (found in Yellowstone National Park) has the highest elevation of a lake in the US. Its elevation is 7,735 feet above sea level.
Will mankind die when the poles shift?
No. Polar reversal affects only the magnetic field. While we might see a brief elevation in how much solar and cosmic radiation we get, evidence from past reversals indicate there will not be an extinction level event. Also, given how infrequent these reversals are, it is quite possible that our species will be extinct when the next reversal occurs.
What is the likely impact that a supervolcanic eruption might have?
It could wipe out a large chunk of our population and even cause other species to go extinct. Scientists refer to this an an Extinction Level Event (E.L.E.) and is something that we should all be aware of. The last time a supervolcano erupted, 99% of the world's human population was wiped out leaving us with only 2,000 breeding pairs. In other words, it is THE CLOSEST TO EXTINCTION MAN HAS EVER GOTTEN. Sadly, if it has happened in the past, it is likely to happen again. So it's not a question of if; it's a question of WHEN.
What type of volcano is Yellowstone volcano?
At Yellowstone, we see the caldera or what we call a supervolcano. The volcanic profile of Yellowstone in its past is one of a massive eruption that dwarfs anything we understand in current knowledge. Use the link below to the Wikipedia post on the supervolcano to learn more.
Will the eruption of Yellowstone affect Singapore?
The eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano is generally accepted to be inevitable. So, when the super volcano does erupt, it is likely to be an ELE (Extinction Level Event). It is likely to end most if not all life on Earth. Even life in Singapore.

What is a sentence using the word extinction?
The moon crashing into the planet would be an extinction level event. The extinction of the dinosaurs occurred long before we were born.
Is Killing Everyone Impossible?

What is the baddest thing that could happen to earth?
The earth could be devestated by an extinction level event. I.e. planetary imact with a comet or large space body.

What event marks the end of both the Paleozoic Era and Mesozoic Era?
The Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) Extinction Event is widely recognised as the greatest extinction event on Earth. It is also known as the "Great Dieing".It occurred 251 million years ago marking the end of the Permian Period and the start of the Triassic Period.It also marks the end of the Paleozoic Era and the start of the Mesozoic Era. Estimates have suggested that 96% of marine species and 70% percent of land vertebrate species became extinct. It is also the only known mass extinction of insect with 56% of insect families and 83% of insect genera becoming extinct.Little is known of the cause of the mass extinction but theories range from meteorite impacts, to volcanism, to sea level fluctuations.
What does Elenin mean. Is it a name which means something. In the news I saw it was the name of a comet. Does the word have a meaning of it's own?
Elenin was the name of a comet discovered in late 2010. The word does not have a specific meaning on its own. It was named after its discoverer, astronomer Leonid Elenin.

What impact can a comet have on Earth?
it could be referred to as an "E.L.E" or an extinction level event. all life including bacteria and everything on earth and all life and stuff could cease to exist and we would all die and not be living anymore...
