Q. Yellowstone National Park, recently seen in the news, is located in which country?
Answer:
United States
Notes: In Yellowstone National Park, scientists unearthed "giant" viruses dating back 1.5 billion years, with exceptionally large genomes. Despite the name, these viruses pose no threat to humans. They offer insights into Earth's earliest single-cell organisms, shedding light on the conditions of early life. Found in hot springs, these viruses survive extreme environments, providing clues to ancient Earth. DNA samples from Lemonade Creek revealed 3,700 potential viruses, two-thirds of which were giant viruses. Yellowstone National Park is located in the United States, primarily in Wyoming, with 3% in Montana and 1% in Idaho. It was established in 1872 by the U.S. Congress as the world's first national park and is one of the country's most popular parks, with millions of visitors each year.
