美国黄石国家公园的英文介绍及翻译.

Yellowstone National Park, established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by

President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872, is a national park located primarily in the

U.S. state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone,

widely held to be the first national park in the world, is known for its wildlife and its

many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular

features in the park. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is dominant.

Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2,

comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the

largest

high-altitude lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera,

the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano. It

has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the

world's geothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava

flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The

park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining,

nearly intact

ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone.
