The Yellowstone caldera was formed after three large erupts over the last three million years. These were the Huckleberry Ridge eruption 2.1 million years ago, the Mesa Falls eruption 1.3 million years ago and the Lava Creek eruption approximately 630,000 years ago. The volcano is located below Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, US, and the area is constantly monitored by the United States Geological Survey for signs that another major event could occur. Mr Oppenheimer went into great detail about the devastating impact supereruptions have and why this would prove disastrous for the US if the supervolcano erupted. Mr Oppenheimer said: A supereruption is defined very roughly as an event that ejects hundreds or thousands of cubic kilometres of magma.
