Yes. A volcano that has formed into a caldera can continue to erupt, and, over the course of thousands of years, may even produce multiple caldera-forming eruptions.
Buckhorn Caldera was not the last volcano to erupt. In fact, every day somewhere on the Earth, a volcano will erupt.
Long Valley Caldera has erupted several times. The one that actually formed the caldera took place 760,000 years ago, but after that there were more 500,000, 300,000, and 100,000 years ago.
a well known and very dangerous caldera is a volcano named Yellowstone volcano and this a national park but it MIGHT soon erupt. hope this helps
No. A volcano is a vent or fissure in the ground through which molten rock, ash, and gas can erupt from within the Earth. A caldera is a large depression in the ground that forms during the most violent volcanic eruptions when a volcano collapses in on itself.
The Yellowstone caldera is not "overdue" for an eruption. You may have heard that the Yellowstone Caldera erupts regularly every 600,000 years and the last major eruption was 640,000 years ago. In reality the caldera does not erupt regularly and as gone as long as 800,000 years without a major eruption.

Yes. It's only a question of when, which is why the supervolcano's caldera is closely monitored.
Rhyolite caldera complexes are the most explosive volcanoes, although other types of volcanoes can also erupt.

caldera
It forms a 'caldera'.
Ball's Pyramid is an erosional remnant of a shield volcano and caldera that formed about 7 million years ago.
No. Caldera and shield volcanoes are quite different. Shield volcanoes usually undergo effusive eruptions, the least violent type and produce basaltic lava. Caldera forming volcanoes erupt explosively and are the most violent. They generally produce rhyolitic lava.
