Does Yellowstone volcano have lava tubes?
No. Lava tubes generally form with basaltic lava. The rhyolitic lava that the Yellowstone volcano would produce is to viscous.
Is yellowstone's lava runny?
No. The lava there would be very viscous.
What type of lava does Yellowstone caldera have?
Both rhyolitic and basaltic lava flows have been found in the Yellowstone Caldera. There are alro large deposits of rhyolitic tuff.
What type of lava flow does Yellowstone volcano have?
Yellowstone has produced both basaltic and rhyolitic lava flows. It is better known for its ecplosive eruptions, which produce large ash clouds and pyroclastic flows rather than lava flows.
What tipe of lava is inside the Yellowstone volcano?
magma type\
If there is a giant volcano in Yellowstone parkwill the lava hit Barnsley?
No
Does the Yellowstone volcano lava go to pennslyvanna?
No. The Yellowstone volcano is 1,500 miles from Pennsylvania. Lava cannot flow that far, and rhyolitic lava such as that produced by the Yellowstone volcano is so viscous that it can can barely flow at all. However, the volcano's eruptions are explosive and produce large amounts of ash. This would be carried by upper level winds and would fall on Pennsylvania.
What is the most destructive Yellowstone eruption?
It is impossible to know exactly how much "destruction" occurred in any eruption that has taken place in the Yellowstone Caldera, but the eruption with the largest volume of lava expulsion took place about 1.2 million years ago.
What type of lava comes from hot-spots?
It depends on where the hot spot is located. Felsic magma would be produced if it was under a continent (such as in Yellowstone) whereas Mafic magma would be produced if it was under oceanic crust (such as in Hawaii)
Does the Yellowstone National Park have volcanoes?
There is one supervolcano under Yellowstone.
Yellowstone caldera ready to blow its cork?
No. On the contrary, seismic studies indicate that the magma chamber under Yellowstone is cooling. Much of the magma has solidified, probably too much for a significant eruption to occur.
What kind of magma does Yellowstone have?
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
