The Yellowstone volcano is about 2.1 million years old. It's first major eruption dates to that time. The volcano is the latest in a series that formed from the same hot spot starting about 16 million years ago.

What does it mean if volcano is active?

you can get active, dormant (or sleeping) and inactive volcanoes. an active volcano is one that is very likely to erupt in the future and still has magma in it. a dormant (or sleeping) volcano is one that has not erupted for the past thousand-or-so years, but can still erupt an inactive volcano is highly unlikely to ever erupt again. every volcano will eventually become inactive. at one time, there were volcano in the UK, but they have all died out now (or become inactive) !!
