About 1 in 730,000.
Yellowstones last super volcanic eruption was approx. 640,000 years ago.
It's average time between eruptions is 730,000 years.
Was a Super Volcano every 600,000 to 800,000 years.
That's the scientific numbers, I say maybe a little more dangerous because it erupts every 600-800 thousand years, and it has been 640 thousand already.
If we start seeing increased activity and earthquakes around yellowstone then keep an eye on it, but if the volcano activity just settles down and it sleeps for another 150,000 years, don't hold your breath yet.
It didn't. The Yellowstone volcano last erupted about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago.
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.
Yellowstone Volcano. Some called it Yellowstone Caldera.
It is believed that 2.1 million years ago, Yellowstone 'Supervolcano' did erupt, it then erupted a second time and the last time it erupted was 640,000 years ago. In 2008, scientists measured high seismic activity showing that Yellowstone could potentially erupt again but hopefully not any time soon. But in proper answer to your question, Yellowstone spewed lava last 70,000 years ago and its most recent super-eruption was 640,000 years ago. Scientists say it is overdue for another eruption but this is all we know so far.
It varies from volcano to volcano. The super volcano under Yellowstone National Park erupts an average of once every 600,000 years. Others may erupt once, then go extinct. Others may erupt once a century.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that Yellowstone will erupt in 2018. The volcano is closely monitored by experts, and any potential eruption would likely be preceded by warning signs.
It is extremely unlikely. Currently, there is no indication that something is developing.
Yes. It erupted 3 time in the last 2.1 million years

The super volcano at Yellowstone National Park is 35 miles by 45 in diameter. It is one of the largest volcanoes in the world and when it does erupt it will likely cause a mass extinction.
A volcano is a vent or reupture in the Earth's crust through which lava, ash, and gas can erupt. Yellowstone is a national park in the United States known for its hot springs and geysers. The park is the site of a massive caldera associated with a supervolcano.
There is no reason to believe Yellowstone will erupt any time in the next century.
The volcano of 1350BC erupted and destroyed the entire park. It caused a year long winter over most of North America from shore to shore, and even in Europe. The volcano at Yellowstone WILL erupt again; it's not an if but a when. When it blows, scientists estimate that it will destroy most of the western half of the US and probably North America and cause major weather changes across the globe.
The eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano is generally accepted to be inevitable. So, when the super volcano does erupt, it is likely to be an ELE (Extinction Level Event). It is likely to end most if not all life on Earth. Even life in Singapore.
It will erupt for the same reason that all volcanoes erupt: magma is collecting in the magma chamber and pressure is increasing. This will eventually reach a breaking point and result in an eruption. The chances of that occuring in our lifetimes however, are very small.
