The Yellowstone Caldera, also known as the Yellowstone Supervolcano, is a volcanic caldera and supervolcano estimated to be an area of about 34 X 45 miles (55 X 72 km).
What type of volcano produced the caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park?
The caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park was produced by a supervolcano. A supervolcano is an explosive volcano capable of producing an eruption with an ejecta volume greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers. The Yellowstone Caldera is one of the largest and most active supervolcanoes in the world.
What type of volcano volcano produced the caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park?
supervolcano
What type of volcano is the Yellowstone volcano?
One of only a dozen "super volcanos" in the world. When super volcanos explode it changes life on earth. The last time one went off was Mt. Toba 70,000 years ago.In more technical terms, the Yellowstone volcano is a caldera. Most Caldera volcanoes start out as stratovolcanoes, but this one appears to be an exception.
What type of volano is Mount St Helens a shield or composite?
Mount St. Helens is an active stratovolcano. Composite Cone volcano - APEX
Are all the features of Yellowstone located in a caldera?
No. Most of Yellowstone lies outside of the Yellowstone Caldera, though this caldera still takes up a large portion of the park. A larger portion of the park is in the older Island Park Caldera, which partly overlaps the Yellowstone Caldera. This still takes up a minority of the park.
Does all of Yellowstone sit in the cladera?
No. Most of Yellowstone is outside of the caldera.

What kind of eruption was Yellowstone caldera?
The Yellowstone Caldera was formed by an Ultra Plinian eruption. Ultra Plinian is the most violent type of volcanic eruption with enormous columns of ash and gas shooting twenty or more miles into the sky and releasing many cubic kilometers of ash.

How Many Calderas are in Yellowstone National Park?
There are three calderas within the boundaries of the park itself. The oldest and largest is only partially within the park. This one formed 2.1 million years ago during the first super eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. The second and most famous formed 640,000 years ago in the third and most recent super eruption. There is a third, smaller caldera that was formed by a much smaller, though still very large eruption about 173,000 years ago. There is another caldera in this complex to the west of the park boundaries. This was formed in the second super eruption 1.3 million years ago.
Where are most of America's volcanoes?
In CA ( 2, Shasta, Lassen,) WA ( St. Helen's) and the grand caldera of Yellowstone. Of course in Hawaii.
