| Type: | Soil Diffuse Emission |
| Description: | Yellowstone supports extensive hydrothermal activity that is related to at least one large hydrothermal reservoir at depth with an estimated temperature in excess of 300°C. Land area estimates for neutral-chloride, travertine-precipitating, and acid-sulfate areas were obtained from a digital database of the 1996 Yellowstone Soil Survey at the Spatial Analysis Center, Yellowstone National Park. |
