The igneous activity in Yellowstone National Park is associated with an intraplate setting. This means that it occurs within a tectonic plate rather than at the boundaries between tectonic plates. The Yellowstone hotspot, which is responsible for the volcanic activity in the area, is a prime example of intraplate volcanism.

divergent plate boundary
convergent oceanic-continental plate boundary
