Conclusion

     Yellowstone National Park truly is a process. Fuelled by the hot spot, the park is one of the best displays of geothermal energy in the world. The hot spot slowly shifts causing the caldera to uplift and the thermal features to change. These thermal features include erupting geysers, boiling hot springs, steaming fumaroles and plopping mudpots. 

The picture below summarizes the processes reported on in this comprehensive website.

    Yellowstone National Park is fabulous! Scientifically it can inspire you, as it has inspired me, and fascinate you. And even though you have only gotten a glimpse into the hot spot concept portion of the park, perhaps now you too will want to go see the thermal features in Yellowstone.
