The last significant eruption of a supervolcano occurred at Yellowstone National Park approximately 640,000 years ago. This eruption was part of the Yellowstone Caldera, which has experienced several massive eruptions over the past 2.1 million years. While there have been smaller volcanic events since then, no supervolcanic eruptions have occurred more recently.

When will the supervolcano erupt?

Scientists have no idea what the precursors (or warning signs) are of an impending supervolcanic eruption, and thus have no idea when the next supervolcano will erupt. The last two supermassive eruptions (Taupo and Tambora) occurred long, long ago (24000 and 72000 years ago), and we have no knowledge of what happened leading up to the eruptions (such as increased earthquake activity or patterns). The last three eruptions of the Yellowstone supervolcano have occurred at roughly 600,000-700,000 year intervals, and the last one took place ~640,000 years ago. It could happen soon, or not for tens of thousands of years or more.

What comes out from a supervolcano during an eruption?

A supervolcano eruption can release a massive amount of ash, volcanic gases (such as sulfur dioxide), and pyroclastic flows, which are fast-moving currents of hot gas and volcanic debris. It can result in significant global climate impacts due to the vast amounts of volcanic material released into the atmosphere.

A Yellowstone eruption would destroy everything within how many miles?

What type of volcano produced the caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park?

The caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park was produced by a supervolcano. A supervolcano is an explosive volcano capable of producing an eruption with an ejecta volume greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers. The Yellowstone Caldera is one of the largest and most active supervolcanoes in the world.
