Where is the worlds biggest magma chamber?
Yellowstone National Park.
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 are two characteristics of a Yellowstone super volcano?
It is an acidic magma and has a huge caldera.
What type of boundary is yellowstone?
Yellowstone is not on a plate boundary, but is a 'hotspot' where magma seeps from the mantle to the surface, or near the surface. The case is the same for Hawaii.
If Yellowstone volcano erputed what would come out?
Lava comes out of volcanoes and turns to magma and ash that goes in the air, and magma that slowly flows on the ground.
What is Yellowstone's magma chamber named?
The Yellowstone caldera.
What is the initial cause of magma formation in the asthenosphere beneath Yellowstone?
the role of asthenosphere in magma generetion
How far below Yellowstone park is magma?
1550 km
What tipe of lava is inside the Yellowstone volcano?
magma type\
Where is the worlds biggest magma chamber?

Why was the Yellowstone volcano formed?
The magma in the earth had to go somewhere and it has accumulated around the Yellowstone area for many thousands of years.

How was the Yellowstone caldera most likely formed?
From the collapse of a massive magma chamber after it last erupted.
When did Yellowstone erupt last?
Yellowstone's last magma eruption was about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was approximately 640,000 years ago.
