No. Most of Yellowstone lies outside of the Yellowstone Caldera, though this caldera still takes up a large portion of the park. A larger portion of the park is in the older Island Park Caldera, which partly overlaps the Yellowstone Caldera. This still takes up a minority of the park.
What else can I help you with?
What Yellowstone cavern is that is the source of heat for all Yellowstones thermal features?
The source of heat for all of Yellowstone's thermal features such as geysers and hot springs is the Yellowstone Caldera, which is a large volcanic crater located beneath the park. The caldera is fueled by a magma chamber located deep underground, providing the heat necessary for these features to exist.
Does all of Yellowstone sit in the cladera?
No. Most of Yellowstone is outside of the caldera.
Is the Yellowstone caldera considered active dormant or extinct?
The Yellowstone caldera is considered active, as evidenced by ongoing geological activity such as ground deformation, geothermal features, and occasional earthquake swarms. It is not currently erupting, but past eruptions and ongoing monitoring indicate that it remains a volatile and potentially hazardous volcanic system.
What type of volcano is Yellowstone national park?
the bad news is that there isn't a volcano inYellowstone the fact is that the whole of Yellowstone is just the creator wich is huge and makes it a super volcano which is not good at all!!!
What is the source of heat for all Yellowstone thermal features?
Yellowstone is a volcanic caldera and everything that you see from mud pots, geysers, and steaming hot pools are from the volcanic activity. It is just one huge volcano and if it ever erupts several states will be in trouble.
What are the baddest volcanoes?
Yellowstone Caldera Supervolcano - the one by which all others are judged.
Is Yellowstone national park a volcano?

Where is the Yellowstone geyers locatedf?
You will find Yellowstone Geysers located all over Yellowstone. The most popular are on the mid west side and head south.
What is a cavern beneath Earth's crust that is the source of heat for all Yellowstone thermal features?
A magma chamber.
Why does Yellowstone have hot spots?
Yellowstone National Park sits on top of a volcano caldera, approximately 28x47 miles across, formed by a hot spot (a crack in the earth's crust which brings magma up to the surface), a result of the forming of the Rocky Mountains about 50 million years ago. Geysers are a result of groundwater which is being heated by the magma underground and then, when the heat and pressure are too great, explode in an amazing display of water and steam. About 53% of the world's geysers are located in Yellowstone National Park. Other thermal features in Yellowstone include fumeroles (mostly steam, little water), hot springs, and mudpots.
Why the Yellowstone Caldera is the most dangerous volcano?
Because it's not officially a 'dead' volcano - it's just dormant. Additionally, the caldera covers such a vast area that, in the event of a 'super eruption', the amount of material ejected would affect the Earth for centuries to come. Possibly resulting in the extinction of all life on this planet !
