Yellowstone volcano eruption: USGS predicts SUPER ERUPTION date

The USGS scientist pointed out Yellowstone’s last super-eruption suggests the supervolcano will remain dormant for a long time.

But should it erupt again, Yellowstone volcano will likely produce incredible amounts of lava and ash.

She said: “So, if that interval is correct – 740,000 years – and it’s been 600,000 years from the last one, then we’re really 140,000 years away from another eruption.

“That’s one aspect of it but if it does erupt again, more than likely we would see more of those lava flows.
