The caldera is the enormous volcanic crater left from the last time Yellowstone experienced a giant eruption, 640,000 years ago. It covers an area about 30 by 45 miles .
The Sunset Crater eruption peaked at VEI 4 (Sub-Plinian), produced a total 0.52 km 3 of ejecta, [9] had an eruption column between 20-30km tall [10] and produced a blanket of ash and lapilli covering an area of more than 2,100 square kilometers (810 sq mi), which forced the temporary abandonment of settlements of the local Sinagua people.
Volcanic lightning is an electrical discharge triggered by a volcanic eruption, not a typical thunderstorm. It forms when ash particles collide and fragment, generating static electricity within ...
