How have wolves changed the rivers in Yellowstone?
Wolves have significantly impacted Yellowstone's rivers through a process known as trophic cascades. Their reintroduction in 1995 helped control the elk population, which in turn allowed for the regrowth of vegetation along riverbanks. This vegetation stabilizes the soil, reduces erosion, and promotes healthier ecosystems, resulting in improved water quality and habitat for various species. Consequently, these changes have led to more diverse and resilient river systems in the park.
It was established in 1872 as the first National Park.

What happened in the 1350BC Yellowstone eruption?
The 1350 BC was not a super eruption. The last of those in Yellowstone was 640,000 years ago. Instead it was most likely a phreatic eruption, essentially a steam explosion. This type of eruption does not erupt fresh material from magma. Instead water come in contact with magma or superheated rocks underground and flashes to steam, reulting in an explosion. These eruptions can produce clouds of ash as rocks in or on a volcano are blasted apart.
What are the physical features in Yellowstone?
The physical features in Yellowstone National Park are Canyons. Mudholes, Famaroles, calderas, and trailheads. Very unusual names but these are the physical features of Yellowstone National Park.
What types of potential hazards does Yellowstone have?
The mantle plume under what is now Yellowstone has produced a supervolcano. The volcano can produce massive eruptions far larger than any that have occurred in recorded history. Fortunately such massive eruptions occur only once every few hundred thousand years. If one were to occur today it would devastate the entire United States and alter the climate worldwide. Smaller eruptions have occurred more frequently. Earthquakes occasionally rock the park from the underground movement of magma. Heat from the magma creates hot springs and geysers in which the water is scalding hot to nearly boiling. There are occasional hydrothermal explosions though none have occurred since long before western settlers entered the area.
What Yellowstone national park is located in California?
