A few inches under the surface, thermometers recorded a temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit -- hot enough to boil water.

Government school.

Rounding to the nearest 100?

LOL

At sea level, water boils at 212 °F. With each 500-feet increase in elevation, the boiling point of water is lowered by just under 1 °F. At 7,500 feet, for example, water boils at about 198 °F. Average elevation at Yellowstone is 8000’.

WHAT! Only 200 degrees? I coulda sworn algore said it was millions of degress at the earth’s core. Not so worried now. :>}
