It didn't. The Yellowstone volcano last erupted about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago.
Yellowstone Volcano. Some called it Yellowstone Caldera.
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.
It probably won't. It is commonly stated that the volcano erupts every 600,000 years, and given that its last eruption was 640,000 years ago, we are overdue. However, 600,000 years is just an average; the volcano is no that regular. The last 3 super eruptions were 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and 640,000 years ago, giving intervals of 800,000 and 660,000 years. Given the amount of variability the volcano still might not erupt for more than 100,000 years. The odds of it happening in the next few decades are rather small.
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.
yes yes it is
It is extremely unlikely. Currently, there is no indication that something is developing.

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.
The entire park of Yellowstone rest on a super volcano
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.

The best super volcano is most likely the "hidden" volcano in Yellowstone park.

Yes, should the Yellowstone super volcano erupt as it has done so in the past, the evidence is that the whole world would be affected.

yes
Its because of the super volcano under Yellowstone park
