Yellowstone is different from most other volcanoes in two ways. First, it can produce enormous eruptions that only a handful of volcanoes have produced in the past few million years. Second, it covers such a large area that it has not built up a mountain and is instead identified by an enormous depression called a caldera left behind by its last super eruption.
