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. The caldera measures 43 by 28 miles (70 by 45 kilometers), and postcaldera ...

This eruption produced more than 280 km2 of magma [7] and was nested within a portion of a larger caldera, the Huckleberry Ridge Caldera. [4] The third large eruption was about 0.6 Ma and created the Yellowstone Caldera. [4] This eruption produced 1,000 km2 of magma [7] through at least two volcanic vents. [4]
A hydrothermal explosion violently shook part of Yellowstone National Park's Biscuit Basin Tuesday. Here's what we know and the science behind it.
This eruption of 2,450 km 3 (590 cu mi) of material is thought to be one of the largest known eruptions in the Yellowstone hotspot's history. This eruption, 2.1 million years ago, is the third most recent large caldera-forming eruption from the Yellowstone hotspot. It was followed by the Mesa Falls Tuff and the Lava Creek Tuff eruptions.
