When will Yellowstone erupt?

We do not know. Future volcanic eruptions could occur within or near Yellowstone National Park for the simple reason that the area has a long volcanic history and because there is hot and molten rock, or magma, beneath the caldera now. Yellowstone is monitored for signs of volcanic activity by YVO scientists who detect earthquakes using seismographs and ground motion using GPS (Global Positioning System). YVO has not detected signs of activity that suggest an eruption is imminent.\n\nThe crust of North America continuously moves southwest over the Yellowstone hotspot as the Earth's crust stretches above it, promoting the ascent of heat and molten rock. These processes produce basaltic magmas within the Earth's mantle, which rise into the overlying crust and continue to heat the rocks beneath Yellowstone, maintaining and possibly adding to the rhyolite magma in the crust above.\n\nYellowstone's 2-million-year history of volcanism, the copious amount of heat that still flows from the ground, the frequent earthquakes, and the repeated uplift and subsidence of the caldera floor also testify to the continuity of magmatic processes beneath Yellowstone and point to the possibility of future volcanism and earthquake activity.

1854 does sound about right; see source below.  Basically it hasn't had anything substantial for a while; the last eruption before 1854 seems to be over 2,000 years ago.

December 4 will be the Full Cold Moon.  We just had the Full Beaver Moon\nNovember 5th. I'm not kidding.

The scientists are saying that a "big one" is going to happen. It's not a question of "if", its "when." And they don't know when, it is still, unfortuneatley, impossible to predict earthquakes. They have specials on this topic on the Discovery Channel, so check out your local listings so you can see. I think there's even a movie. Anyways, there is also a huge fault by Washington.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!! i just learned this in school today, the next complete solar eclipse is August 21, 2017 that will be in oregon. you can go to www.nasa.gov if you want more information.

It will melt.  Look for it to start piling up toward the end of December and into January.

The human history of the park dates back 12,000 years. It was known to the original natives as "Mitzi-a-dazi," the "River of Yellow Rocks," because of the hydrothermally altered iron-containing yellow rocks in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (many people incorrectly believe that the yellow color is from sulfur).\n\nThe Native Americans that hunted and fished in the Yellowstone region also utilized the significant amounts of obsidian found in the park to make cutting tools and weapons. In fact, arrowheads made of Yellowstone obsidian have been found as far away as the Mississippi Valley, which strongly indicate that a regular obsidian trade existed between Yellowstone Native Americans and tribes further east.\n\n Lower Yellowstone FallIn 1806 a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition named John Colter left the Expedition to join a group of fur trappers and was probably the first non-Native American to visit the region and make contact with the Native Americans there. After surviving wounds he suffered in a battle with Crow and Blackfoot tribes, he gave a description of a place of "fire and brimstone" that was dismissed by most people as delirium. The supposedly imaginary place was nicknamed "Colter's Hell."\n\nMountain man Jim Bridger later returned from an 1857 expedition to the park's area and told tales of boiling springs, spouting water, a mountain of glass and yellow rock. These reports were largely ignored, however, because Bridger was known for being a "spinner of yarns." Nonetheless his stories did arouse the interest of explorer and geologist F.V. Hayden who in 1859 started a two-year survey of the upper Missouri River region with Bridger as a guide and with United States Army surveyor W.F. Raynolds. The party was able to reach the approaches to the Yellowstone region but was not able to go any further due to heavy snows. The intervening American Civil War stopped all attempts to explore the region, and Hayden would not be able to fulfill his mission to explore the area for another 11 years.\n\n North Gate to Yellowstone Park at Gardiner, Montana, which says "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People."A party of Montanans then organized the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition, headed by the surveyor-general of Montana Henry Washburn. Amongst the group was Nathaniel P. Langford, who would later become known as "National Park" Langford, and an Army detachment commanded by Lt. Gustavus Doane. The expedition spent about a month in 1870 exploring the region, collecting specimens and naming sites of interest.\n\nIn 1871 Hayden led a second, larger expedition, which was now government sponsored, to the Yellowstone region. He compiled a comprehensive report on Yellowstone which included large-format photographs by William Henry Jackson and paintings by Thomas Moran. This report helped to convince the U.S. Congress to withdraw this region from public auction. Then on March 1, 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill into law that created Yellowstone National Park.\n\nLangford then served for five years without pay as the first superintendent of the park and was followed by several other superintendents (who worked with some minimal funding). The second superintendent was Philetus Norris who essentially volunteered for the position, after traveling through Yellowstone and witnessing its problems first hand. During his tenure Congress finally began to give the superintendent a salary and minimal funds to operate the park. He used these monies to expand access to and further explore Yellowstone. Norris also hired Harry Yount (nicknamed "Rocky Mountain Harry") to control poaching and vandalism in the park. Today, Harry Yount is considered the very first national park ranger.\n\n Mammoth Hot SpringsThree additional superintendents followed, but none proved effective in stopping the destruction of Yellowstone's natural resources.\n

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:\n\nThe Yellowstone Caldera, also known as the Yellowstone supervolcano, is a volcanically active region in Yellowstone National Park. It measures 55 kilometers by 72 kilometers. The caldera was discovered with difficulty due to its size. This was done by field work by Bob Christiansen of the USGS in the 1960's and 1970's.

USA Jobs lists the current opening for the National Park Service.  Below in the sources section is a link to the current NPS openings in Yellowstone.\n\nYellowstone Park Service Stations also hires summer help ranging from retail help to clerical to auto mechanics and tow truck drivers.\n\nXanterra, the official concessionaire for Yellowstone hires many summer workers.  They hire a wide range of employees to staff campground, hotels and lodges, stores, do maintenance work and more.

Everyone would be affected. Ash from the explosion of any volcano can travel around the globe in a matter of days. Ash can cause serious problems if it comes in large enough quantities (mainly blocking out the sunlight). The ashfall from Mt. St. Helens in Washington reached places in upper Idaho in a short period of time, so just think what would happen if a supervolcano (say, Yellowstone) went off...

April 7th-24th\n\ncommon surely i get 10 points for this!!!! i hunted the answer down for you!

I can see Mt. Hood out my window and I haven"t heard of any explosions. We keep a close watch on our volcanoes around here since Mt St. Helens erupted 25 years ago. Mt. Hood will erupt again in the future but hasn't since 1781. Check the link below.
