The supervolcano’s chamber is about 40 miles wide. • Yellowstone’s supervolcano is still active. • All of the geysers, hot springs, and steam vents in Yellowstone National Park are powered by the heat of the supervolcano. • The supervolcano’s plate tectonics is Intraplate. • It has been about 640,000 years since the last eruption. • The eruption that took place in Yellowstone 640,000 years ago was 1,000 times stronger than the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
