Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872. so it was about 140 years ago.
It didn't. The Yellowstone volcano last erupted about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago.
The last major eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano occurred approximately 640,000 years ago. Since then, there have been smaller volcanic events in the area, but no catastrophic eruptions on the scale of past events.
Yellowstone's last magma eruption was about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was approximately 640,000 years ago.
The last Yellowstone eruption was more than 640,000 years ago and as modern-appearing humans originated (in Africa) only about 200,000 years ago, no human has been affected by a Yellowstone eruption.However, Yellowstone is a beautiful wilderness area and many humans have been profoundly affected emotionally (by its beauty and wildlife) by a visit there.
Last time was 600,000 years ago
I think the first time it erupted was 2.1 million years ago. At least of the first time yellowstone had erupted very powerfully. The other times were 1.5 million years ago, and 640,000 years ago.
640,000 years ago.
No, the Yellowstone supervolcano did not cause the extinction of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago, while the most recent major eruption of the Yellowstone caldera occurred around 640,000 years ago. The extinction of the dinosaurs is most commonly attributed to a combination of factors, including a meteor impact.
The mountains were made by the Yellowstone volcano about 100000 years ago
Yellowstone Volcano. Some called it Yellowstone Caldera.
Yes. Yellowstone has produced numerous eruptions including three super eruptions from its present location. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago while the last magmatic eruption was about 70,000 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.
