I can see that you got reply from Anmarie96 regarding this. But I have to add that by looking at maps available regarding fault lines in N.America, I notice that it seems like there are fault lines going from Alaska directly to or in "close" vicinity to Yellowstone.

A not so good map are to be found here

Thanks Roald and Anmarie for this info - makes for v. interesting reading... and sure seems to be some sort of connection

Wee fit in Papua...
