Does Yellowstone volcano have lava tubes?
No. Lava tubes generally form with basaltic lava. The rhyolitic lava that the Yellowstone volcano would produce is to viscous.
Does the Yellowstone volcano lava go to pennslyvanna?
No. The Yellowstone volcano is 1,500 miles from Pennsylvania. Lava cannot flow that far, and rhyolitic lava such as that produced by the Yellowstone volcano is so viscous that it can can barely flow at all. However, the volcano's eruptions are explosive and produce large amounts of ash. This would be carried by upper level winds and would fall on Pennsylvania.

Is the Yosemite actually a super volcano?
Yellowstone National Park is a super volcano. Yellowstone is over a "hot spot" which is why there are geysers there. The hot spot blew millions of years ago leaving a caldera where the geysers are. Yellowstone is a volcano but do not go expecting an eruption unless you can wait a few million years.
What kind of magma does Yellowstone have?
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
What kind of volcano is Yellowstone a composite cinder cone or a shield?
No. it is a caldera and s supervolcano. A shield volcano is characterized by basaltic lava and effusive eruptions with little to no explosive character. Yellowstone produces rhyolytic lava and extremely explosive eruptions.
What is a synomyn for lava?
A "synonym" for lava would be "molten rock". Lava is above ground. Magma is below ground.
