What rock did the Yellowstone volcano produce?
The Yellowstone volcano has primarily produced rhyolite, though some basalt has been noted.
What type of tectonic activity is responsible for the Yellowstone Caldera?
It's a supervolcano. It's not like a normal volcano because it happens because of a magma chamber underground. because of the volume of the chamber, the magnitude of the volcano is a lot bigger - VEI 8 on the Richter scale
Did Mount Vesuvius form in a caldera?
No, Mount Vesuvius is a composite volcano and its latest eruption was in 1944. Some sources say that in that eruption, Mt. Vesuvius collapsed in a caldera, but it didn't. FYI: A caldera is a volcano that had an extremely explosive eruption that emptied the magma chamber, causing the volcano to collapse in on itself. An example of a caldera is Crater Lake in Oregon.

What is the Oregon Lake Caldera or Volcanic neck?
It would have to be a caldera. A caldera is a depression in the ground, so it is logical that one would contain a lake (and some do). A volcanic neck is a pillar or mountain of rock that solidified inside a volcano, and so could not form a lake.
What are some benefits of living by the Yellowstone caldera volcano?
The chief benefit is Iceland harnessing geothermal energy. It lessens Iceland's dependance on other fuels , and is quite a tourist draw, which enhances tourism monies coming in to help the economy.
