Caldera

but now they’re cutting that time down to as little as a few decades. Over the last 2.1 million years, the Yellowstone Caldera has erupted three times, and geologists note that the majority of the park’s features like geysers and hot springs are thanks to the volcanic activity. The timeline for the volcano being active again is up for debate, but a study of Yellowstone Caldera in 2013 calmed some fears when it found the magma chamber under the park was about two and a half times larger…

countryside as pyroclastic (i.e. fire-fragmental) materials—ash, pumice and rock fragments” (Lowenstern, 2006). When all of these materials come out rapidly it causes the ground that is over the magma chamber to collapse inward creating a volcanic caldera that can span “more than 30 km in diameter” (Lowenstern, 2006). One would think that after a supervolcano creates this big dip in the earth that one would be able to…

Imagine a world where the Earth is polluted by ash and the temperature of the world is cooling by a large amount. All of the land around Yellowstone National Park disappeared because of the eruption that took place because of the magma chamber underneath Yellowstone. Yellowstone’s volcano will be an issue in the future of the United State. The questions are when will the volcano erupt and how can we be warned beforehand and what is going to happen to us after the eruption? Yellowstone has…

the Agean Sea. In the 16th century BC this island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption leaving it with a rugged landscape. Today you can see whitewashed, cubi-form houses in its two main towns, Fira and Oia, clinging to cliffs above an underwater caldera or crater. The overlook the sea, other small islands to the west and beaches that consist of black, red and…

Imagine if there was a park somewhere in the United States that had a supervolcano, that is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined (Park Facts), or a bird that can go 200 miles an hour or 320 kilometers an hour (Peregrine Falcon). Well now, stop imagining because you do not have to. You do not have to because Yellowstone National Park has a super volcano that is the strongest one, and is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined, and has the fastest bird in the world. It is…

to let the painting stand on its own. Probably, he held the notion that seeing the painting was not a substitute for the real thing. Yet, observing the real thing is not a substitute for the outstanding painting. Tavernier’s paint depicts Kilauea Caldera with a bold red with touch of pale yellow details at the background, and with touch of black in the foreground that creates an impression of a glow from a ring of candent bright red lava in the crater. Indeed, Tavernier suggest a likelihood of…

Yellowstone National Park is located in the United States. It has been an attraction for a lot of people over the years. The park has really cool scenery with its motley wildlife, and its features such as hot springs and geysers as it sits over an active geothermal area. People find joy visiting Yellowstone National Park. Even if it's a handful of people now the potential Omnipoint danger that comes with visiting this area. This land is home to super-volcano that has erupted roughly about 600…
