The Yellowstone caldera is not "overdue" for an eruption. You may have heard that the Yellowstone Caldera erupts regularly every 600,000 years and the last major eruption was 640,000 years ago. In reality the caldera does not erupt regularly and as gone as long as 800,000 years without a major eruption.
There is no record of the Yellowstone volcano erupting on January 12, 2009. The volcano has not had a major eruption for about 640,000 years, but it does experience minor volcanic activity such as geysers and hot springs.
No. The last time Yellowstone erupted there were no people around to be affected.
It didn't. The Yellowstone volcano last erupted about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago.
Yellowstone National Park is located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It contains the volcano caldera known as the Yellowstone Caldera, which is considered an active volcano system.
Yellowstone National Park is a super volcano. Yellowstone is over a "hot spot" which is why there are geysers there. The hot spot blew millions of years ago leaving a caldera where the geysers are. Yellowstone is a volcano but do not go expecting an eruption unless you can wait a few million years.
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.

There's a supervolcano underground which is overdue, its gettingm hotter, steamier, and the worst part, the volcano is rising 1cm, but how do we know, it might not erupt in years.
It exsits in Yellowstone national park.
It is beleived that Yellowstone has the capability to do so.

The Yellowstone volcano is not just a volcano - it is a supervolcano. Geologists maintain there have been no eruptions for tens of thousands of years. It is constantly releasing pressure, although it appears the ground levels due to the movement of magma have risen several centimetres in the last century. However, despite scientists believing that a major eruption is well overdue, it currently shows no signs of an imminent major eruption.
Yellowstone Volcano. Some called it Yellowstone Caldera.
