Yellowstone emergency: Panic as Supervolcano could erupt THIS week, warns scientist

Although it is not yet clear when the volcano could erupt, the scientist has said it could happen soon. The Yellowstone Caldera which is a massive 34 to 45 miles wide, is a supervolcano located in the Yellowstone National Park.

The volcano last erupted 640,000 years ago which has led many scientists to believe that the monster volcano is due a mighty eruption any day now.

Scientists have also said that each time the supervolcano erupts, it causes dramatic changes to its surroundings.

Geological data suggests that the last major eruptions took place 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 640,000 years ago.

Its most recent eruption is believed to have created the main Yellowstone Caldera and the Lava Creek Tuff.
