YellowStone National Park By: Ethan Ehrlich, Drew Tudor, And Devon Nwosu

Geological Origins It is believed that a hotspot in the upper mantle is responsible for the parks origins The movement of the North American Plate over a hotspot This formed the YellowStone Caldera, which is considered to be the largest super volcano in North America

Yellowstone Caldera Diagram depicting the Yellowstone Caldera

Natural History Yellowstone is found in the Taiga biome The climate ranges between 0-80 degrees throughout the four seasons Average rain is about 15.4 inches a year Average snow is about 72.1 inches a year Dominant Wildlife: o Bison o Bear o Wolves o Elk

Endemic/threatened/Endangered Species Endemic species o Sand Verbena- plant found on surface of water o American Dipper- an aquatic songbird o Sagebrush lizard- only lizard found in yellowstone Threatened Species o Canada Lynx o Grizzly Bear Endangered o Gray Wolf o Wolverine o Bald Eagle

Effects on Human History ●First used by native Americans as far as 11,000 years ago ●Region hosted fish and materials for shelter ●In 19th century, members of the Lewis and Clark expeditions investigated the region ●Geothermal activity startled early explorers ●People steered clear of the area due to geothermal activity

What Agency protects YellowStone The National Park Service protects YellowStone

Threats to Yellowstone Eruption of the Caldera which is a super volcano o thought as a possible destruction of U.S. Whirling disease(viral) o been tested positive for a little less than a quarter  attacks the cartilage so fish can’t eat normally Hikers who carry diseases or foreign pesticides Beatles and other exotic fungi o destroys white pine trees  harms grizzly bears
