Caldera

volcanic gasses that normally trigger an eruption cannot pass, so a massive amount of pressure begins to build up. This continues for hundreds of thousands of years until an eruption occurs, which blasts away a huge amount of ground, forming a new caldera. The same principle would happen at Yellowstone if it were to erupted, too much pressure and the chamber…

Most people have heard of Yellowstone National Park but not everyone knows how strange yet spectacular the caldera actually is.

This makes Yellowstone’s magma chamber the largest known on Earth. Since Yellowstone is a…

It is also home to the largest concentration of geysers in the world and one of the biggest hydrothermal systems. Geologists have found evidence of 6 older calderas southwest of Yellowstone that extend into Idaho. The formation of Yellowstone occurred over a more than 2 million year period, but is actually the youngest in the geological history of volcanic events in the area. This region of volcanic activity…

per year. The TVZ is named after Lake Taupo, the caldera of the formaly largest volcano in the zone. The region we see today is formed from a combination of internal and external processes that shape and form the volcanic region.
