Although one of the most beautiful places in the world, Yellowstone has a violent geologic record. New activity recorded by seismographs has the attention of geologists.

Volcanic activity below the Earth's surface, along with a unique natural plumbing system, causes the wealth of geothermal activity found at Yellowstone National Park.

One of the largest super volcanoes in the world lies beneath Yellowstone National Park and nobody knows when it will erupt.

Beneath Yellowstone lies an immense supervolcano. Should a volcanic eruption occur, it would almost certainly result in nuclear winter and an immense loss of life.

Subduction zones are one of the tectonic zones of the U.S. that produce volcanic activity. The Cascades Volcano Range and the Aleutian Island Volcano Arc are examples.

Where the crust is stretched thin by tectonic activity, magma is able to rise through the surface. In the Western interior of the U.S., this has led to volcanoes.
