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.

What earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake shock?
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.

Will the san adreas fault trigger Yellowstone to erupt?
that may be the case. there is a quadruo of faults that cause major eruptions one after another in a cycle: chile, new zealand, japan then california on the san andreas fault. geologists predict that that fault will erupt soon and unlike yellowstone, they arent saying it wont be in our life time. this quadruo are locations which cause major earthquakes. scientsts are predicting the next san andreas earthquake will be around magnitude 9.0 out of 10. this major earthquake could be felt in wyoming, which could possibly trigger an eruption 5% chance. but that eruption wont be ull scale since the earthquake wont hit as hard there. the large eruption will occur naturally and has nothing to to with the earthquake. but there are two other supervolcaoes in north america wand are closer to the falt. long valley in california and velles caldera in mexico. the chance of the earthquake triggering an eruption fom long valley is 65% in valles caldera 40%.
