When a supervolcano erupts it drains many cubic kilometers of magma from the magma chamber. The caldera forms when the ground collapses into the space left behind in the magma chamber.
The Yellowstone Caldera, also known as the Yellowstone Supervolcano, is a volcanic caldera and supervolcano estimated to be an area of about 34 X 45 miles (55 X 72 km).
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.
supervolcano
Long Valley caldera is classified as a supervolcano. It is a large volcanic caldera in eastern California that was formed by a massive explosive eruption around 760,000 years ago. It is known for its potential to produce extremely large and destructive eruptions.
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.
No. It is a caldera.
The Yellowstone Caldera, also known as the Yellowstone Supervolcano, is a volcanic caldera and supervolcano estimated to be an area of about 34 X 45 miles (55 X 72 km).
Inevitably, the Yellowstone caldera will explode as a supervolcano. Whether that will happen soon is unlikely.

No. Lake Taupo is in the caldera of a highly explosive supervolcano.
supervolcano
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.
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.
Yes. It's only a question of when, which is why the supervolcano's caldera is closely monitored.
Yellowstone Caldera Supervolcano - the one by which all others are judged.
The Yellowstone volcano is usually called a supervolcano.
The volcano is about 2.1 million years old. The newest caldera is 640,000 years old.
