Answer:

Particles of volcanic ash from the three eruptions that created calderas between 2.1 million and 640,000 years ago covered a large portion of western North America. At a distance of several hundred kilometers from Yellowstone and several centimeters deeper, that ash was probably a third of a meter deep.
