Yes
About half. It is considered an active super-volcano.
The famous caldera volcano in Wyoming is Yellowstone Caldera, located within Yellowstone National Park. It is one of the largest active volcanic systems in the world and is known for its geothermal features like geysers and hot springs.
Yellowstone National Park is located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It contains the volcano caldera known as the Yellowstone Caldera, which is considered an active volcano system.
The Yellowstone caldera is considered active, as evidenced by ongoing geological activity such as ground deformation, geothermal features, and occasional earthquake swarms. It is not currently erupting, but past eruptions and ongoing monitoring indicate that it remains a volatile and potentially hazardous volcanic system.
Yellowstone Caldera in Yellowstone National Park is a famous example of a caldera volcano. It has erupted catastrophically in the past, creating a large caldera that measures about 45 by 30 miles.
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.
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.
No. For one thing, the Yellowstone volcano is not a mountain, it is a caldera. It is usually referred to as the Yellowstone caldera or the Yellowstone supervolcano.
Wyoming is not considered a volcanic hot spot like areas such as Hawaii or Yellowstone. However, the state does have some past volcanic activity, such as within Yellowstone National Park where the Yellowstone Caldera is located. This caldera is an active supervolcano hotspot.
The Yellowstone caldera.
The Yellowstone caldera is associated with a hot spot, not a plate boundary.
An eruption of the Yellowstone caldera occurs it will likely be an extinction level event.
