They are: 1. Yellowstone Caldera (Idaho and Wyoming, US) 2. Long Valley Caldera (California, US) 3. Valles Caldera (New Mexico, US) 4. Toba Caldera (Sumatra, Indonesia) 5. Taupo Caldera (North Island New Zealand) 6. Aira Caldera (Kagoshima, Japan)
When a very large volume of magma is erupted, the overlying rocks may collapse. The collapse produces a hole or depression at the surface called a caldera.
From the collapse of a massive magma chamber after it last erupted.
Long Valley Caldera has erupted several times. The one that actually formed the caldera took place 760,000 years ago, but after that there were more 500,000, 300,000, and 100,000 years ago.
A caldera usually is no warmer than the surrounding land. A caldera is a depression formed when a volcano collapses in a cataclysmic eruption, but if it isn't erupting or has not erupted very recently, then it will not be unusually hot, with the possible exceptions of hot springs.
The Valles Caldera formed in a volcanic eruption about 1.25 million years ago.
Valles Caldera The Science - 2012 was released on: USA: 1 September 2012 (limited)
There is a supervolcano in Arizona: The Silver Creek Caldera near the town of Peach Springs. This volcano erupted between 18 and 19 million years ago. The caldera has since been torn in half by rifting. There are other, nearby supervolcanoes. The Valles Caldera near Santa Fe, New Mexico is the closest. Next would be Long Valley Caldera, in California east of Yosemite. Then there's Yellowstone.

The Valles Caldera is 77.4 miles from Albuquerque if you go on North I 25 then to North 550 then take State Hwy 4 through Jemez Springs and toward Los Alamos. By the way it's beautiful when it's full of snow.

When Krakatoa erupted the entire island collapsed, forming a caldera. This diaplaces enormous amounts of seawater, generating massive waves.
Battle of Caldera Bay happened on 1891-04-23.
