A major earthquake in Yellowstone occurred on June 30, 1975, registering a magnitude of 6.1. This earthquake was one of the largest recorded in the Yellowstone region and was part of a series of seismic events that prompted monitoring of the area. While it caused some damage, it did not result in significant injuries or fatalities. Since then, Yellowstone has experienced various smaller quakes, but none have matched the magnitude of the 1975 event.
Earthquakes that occur in the same area as a major earthquake are often referred to as aftershocks. Aftershocks can happen minutes to years after the mainshock and are caused by the readjustment of the earth's crust in response to the initial earthquake. These aftershocks can sometimes be just as powerful as the mainshock.
An earthquake can happen anywhere. But some places are more active than others.
A major earthquake that has happened in the past is often referred to as a seismic event or a historic earthquake. The specific location where the earthquake occurred is known as the earthquake's epicenter.
It means that the earthquake is large and powerful.

Earlier this year, Yellowstone National Park experienced an earthquake of a magnitude of 4.8 which was the biggest recorded one there since 1980. Since the earthquake many have reported spotting animals fleeing the area.

The San Francisco earthquake occurred along the San Andreas Fault line in California in April of 1906. It was a major earthquake with a magnitude of approximately 7.9 on the Richter scale.
Earthquakes that occur in the same area as a major earthquake are often referred to as aftershocks. Aftershocks can happen minutes to years after the mainshock and are caused by the readjustment of the earth's crust in response to the initial earthquake. These aftershocks can sometimes be just as powerful as the mainshock.
Inevitably, the Yellowstone caldera will explode as a supervolcano. Whether that will happen soon is unlikely.
