That would be the eruption that formed the Lava Creek Tuff some 640,000 years ago. Ash was dispersed from the Baja Peninsula in a ring north through present day California, Oregon, north to North Dakota and lower Canada, east to Illinois, south to the Gulf of Mexico, and west across northern Mexico. This was the last super eruption. The most recent explosive event occurred 13,800 years ago and excavated Mary Bay (3.1 square miles) on the northeast boundary of Yellowstone Lake at the center of the caldera.
No. The last time Yellowstone erupted there were no people around to be affected.
the last time it erupted was this year some time
Yes. It erupted 3 time in the last 2.1 million years
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.
When was the last time tajumulco erupted?
The last time i erupted was in 1538
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.
The Yellowstone volcano is still active. This is proven by the 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes per year, thermal features in Yellowstone, and active ground deformation. However, the Yellowstone volcano has not erupted in a very long time.
Mount Redoubt last erupted in April 1989.
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.
We are actually 20,000 years over-due for in to have erupted. It could happen any time.
it has erupted 13 times! the last time it erupted was 2004
