In Wyoming there lies yellow stone national park home to thousands of wildlife animals. The park has over 6 million acres of land and is home to many of the worlds largest concentration of geysers and thermal features. Yellow stone is also home to varieties of volcanoes and hot springs that the park has to offer.Under Yellowstone national park there is one of the biggest volcanoes that is still active to this day. The last time the volcano erupted was 600,000 years go and people still don't know when the next eruption will be. Due to the high thermal energy that the volcano has it is able to heat up springs of water called geysers that shot up water into the sky due to the build up of steam. Yellowstone is also home to many different waterfalls containing at least 45 named waterfalls and cascades. Thousand of people go to the park each day to enjoy the beauty of yellow stone national park.
