The last major eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera occurred approximately 640,000 years ago, producing the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff. This eruption was part of a series of volcanic events, with the most recent smaller eruption happening around 70,000 years ago, which formed the Lava Creek Tuff. Since then, Yellowstone has experienced hydrothermal activity, including geysers and hot springs, but no significant volcanic eruptions. The area remains closely monitored for any signs of volcanic activity.

How much overdue is the super volcano eruption in Yellowstone national park?
The Yellowstone caldera is not "overdue" for an eruption. You may have heard that the Yellowstone Caldera erupts regularly every 600,000 years and the last major eruption was 640,000 years ago. In reality the caldera does not erupt regularly and as gone as long as 800,000 years without a major eruption.
When was the last time the Yellowstone supervolcano erupt?
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.
When did the last SuperVolcano Eruption happen?
The last significant eruption of a supervolcano occurred at Yellowstone National Park approximately 640,000 years ago. This eruption was part of the Yellowstone Caldera, which has experienced several massive eruptions over the past 2.1 million years. While there have been smaller volcanic events since then, no supervolcanic eruptions have occurred more recently.
When did Yellowstone erupt last?
Yellowstone's last magma eruption was about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was approximately 640,000 years ago.
How big is the Caldera volcano that sits under Yellowstone National Park?
Nobody is sure, it last erupted 700 000 years ago. Its eruption could produce enough ash to layer the atmosphere with 5 feet of ash, and will knockout everything and body within 1000 mile radius so when it erupts places such as Denver and Cheyenne are at risk.
How often does the Yellowstone hotspot create a new caldera?
The Yellowstone hotspot has created a new caldera approximately every 600,000 to 700,000 years, with the last major eruption and caldera formation occurring about 640,000 years ago. However, the frequency of these events can vary, and the hotspot's activity is influenced by geological processes. Current geological studies suggest that while the potential for future eruptions exists, predicting the exact timing of a new caldera formation is challenging.
Is the Yosemite actually a super volcano?
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.
