The magma in the earth had to go somewhere and it has accumulated around the Yellowstone area for many thousands of years.
Volcano
It was made by the volcano underneath Yellowstone NP
The Yellowstone volcano is well withing the boundaries of the North American plate. It formed over a hot spot rather than a plate boundary.
The Yellowstone volcano is a caldera volcano formed by a series of explosive volcanic eruptions that occurred over millions of years. The eruptions led to the collapse of the volcano's magma chamber, creating a large depression known as a caldera. Today, Yellowstone National Park sits within this caldera.
The Yellowstone volcano is about 2.1 million years old. It's first major eruption dates to that time. The volcano is the latest in a series that formed from the same hot spot starting about 16 million years ago.
Given that Yellowstone is in the middle of the United States, it is a mainland volcano.
No. The Yellowstone volcano is neither a mountain nor a composite volcano; it is a caldera.
The Yellowstone volcano is actually a supervolcano, and is hidden under the rest of the park. So whenever you go and visit any part of Yellowstone, you are actually walking on top of the volcano itself.
No. For one thing, the Yellowstone volcano is not a mountain, it is a caldera. It is usually referred to as the Yellowstone caldera or the Yellowstone supervolcano.
No volcano has erupted in Yellowstone Park, at least not in recorded history.
the bad news is that there isn't a volcano inYellowstone the fact is that the whole of Yellowstone is just the creator wich is huge and makes it a super volcano which is not good at all!!!
The Yellowstone Volcano did not last very long. It lasted for about a minute.
