But, even though they eject huge amounts of material, there are very few documented super-eruptions in the geologic record. So we don’t fully understand why they are so big or how often they occur. Now, details of the Yellowstone supervolcanic eruption — some 8.7 million years ago — are documented in a new study published in the journal Geology. READ MORE
