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.
The Yellowstone Volcano did not last very long. It lasted for about a minute.
About half. It is considered an active super-volcano.
A few miles under Yellowstone is an enormous magma chamber associated with a supervolcano.
Yellowstone National Park is located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It contains the volcano caldera known as the Yellowstone Caldera, which is considered an active volcano system.
It didn't. The Yellowstone volcano last erupted about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago.
No. The last time Yellowstone erupted there were no people around to be affected.
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.
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.
Most scientists believe that Yellowstone is not truly active and that they would be able to detect if the Yellowstone volcano was going to erupt years before it erupted. But there is no way to no for sure if the Yellowstone caldera is truly active (building up for an eruption).
Given that Yellowstone is in the middle of the United States, it is a mainland volcano.
No. The Yellowstone volcano is neither a mountain nor a composite volcano; it is a caldera.
Yellowstone Volcano. Some called it Yellowstone Caldera.
