This is a good question!
Yellowstone is a “supervolcano” which means it’s one of, if not the biggest, volcano in the whole world! If it erupted, then volcanic ash would be sent across the whole of North America. Up to 2-3 feet of ash would fall on central USA! This would destroy crops and cause chaos to people’s health and transport. This size of eruption would also impact on the climate all around the world! Not cool!
