Yes. A volcano that has formed into a caldera can continue to erupt, and, over the course of thousands of years, may even produce multiple caldera-forming eruptions.
No, Buckhorn Caldera was not the last volcano to erupt. There have been volcanic eruptions worldwide since Buckhorn Caldera's last eruption about 38 million years ago. Some recent eruptions include those of Kilauea in Hawaii, Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland, and Taal in the Philippines.
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.
One well-known caldera in the US is the Yellowstone Caldera, located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. It is one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world and is known for its geothermal features and supervolcanic eruption potential.
The Devils Desk Volcano in the Kuril Islands first erupted in 1884 in a powerful explosive eruption that created a new caldera.
No. Caldera and shield volcanoes are quite different. Shield volcanoes usually undergo effusive eruptions, the least violent type and produce basaltic lava. Caldera forming volcanoes erupt explosively and are the most violent. They generally produce rhyolitic lava.

Yes. It's only a question of when, which is why the supervolcano's caldera is closely monitored.
Rhyolite caldera complexes are the most explosive volcanoes, although other types of volcanoes can also erupt.

No. A volcano is a vent or fissure in the ground through which molten rock, ash, and gas can erupt from within the Earth. A caldera is a large depression in the ground that forms during the most violent volcanic eruptions when a volcano collapses in on itself.
A synonym for caldera is crater.
Priscila Caldera's birth name is Priscila Carla Caldera.
Vesuvius is watched constantly and monitored for activity. It could erupt at any time and over a million people live below it. Etna is also watched, several in Mexico and Phillipines, Mt. St. Helen's in WA is active off and on. Mt. Shasta in CA as been dormant since 1924, but it is watched. Not to mention the giant caldera of Yellowstone. All are watched and could erupt.
