Yellowstone: Supervolcano

Yellowstone National Park is home to a massive super volcano, which is not the typical cone shape but covers almost the entire park. Super volcanoes are extremely powerful, with magma building up over thousands of years, leading to caldera-forming eruptions. Evidence suggests a cycle of eruptions every 600,000 years, with the last one occurring 640,000 years ago. The potential for a future eruption poses catastrophic risks, with global effects and immense power. However, predicting the exact timing of such an event remains challenging.
