An eruption on April 11 ejected a cloud of volcanic gas and ash that reached a height of 20 km (12 mi) and spread over an area of 108,000 km 2 (42,000 sq mi). [10] Pyroclastic flows from the eruption traveled up to 19 km (12 mi) away from the volcano. [11] 3 Bezymianny [12] Russia 2022 15
The Yellowstone Caldera, sometimes referred to as the Yellowstone Supervolcano, is a volcanic caldera and supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park in the Western United States. The caldera and most of the park are located in the northwest corner of the state of Wyoming .
A supervolcano is a volcano that has had an eruption with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 8, [1] the largest recorded value on the index. This means the volume of deposits for such an eruption is greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles). [2] Location of Yellowstone hotspot over time. Numbers indicate millions of years before ...
The claim: Video shows Yellowstone supervolcano ‘really erupting’ in December 2024. A Dec. 13 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows a man talking in front of a video of people ...
Volcanoes that have produced explosive VEI-8 eruptions, often called supervolcanoes in the media. Such eruptions release a tephra volume of at least 1,000 km 3 (240 cu mi) with annihilating long-term effects on the surrounding area and devastating short-term effects on global climate, leaving profound effects on the climate for years to come.
Any supervolcano eruption has the potential for significant loss of life and environmental damage. ... but this new round of research on Campi Flegrei is a good reminder that the next massive ...

The volcano also erupted in June about a mile south of Kilauea caldera, marking the first eruption in that region of the volcano in about 50 years. The last one took place in December 1974 ...
