| | '''Yellowstone National Park''' is a [[National Park]] located mostly in the state of [[Wyoming]], with small portions of the park in [[Idaho]] and [[Montana]]. The park is known for its [[geothermal]] features such as [[geyser]]s, [[hot spring]]s, and [[mud volcano]]s. These form part of the Yellowstone Caldera, a supervolcano fed by a mantle plume welling up from beneath the Earth's crust. | | '''Yellowstone National Park''' is a [[National Park]] located mostly in the state of [[Wyoming]], with small portions of the park in [[Idaho]] and [[Montana]].
