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.
No. The lava there would be very viscous.
Yellowstone caldera has a type of lava called rhyolitic lava. This lava is known for being highly viscous and rich in silica, which can lead to explosive eruptions.
Yes, Yellowstone volcano has lava tubes formed by past volcanic activity. These tubes are created when lava flows beneath the surface and eventually solidifies, leaving behind hollow tunnels. However, these lava tubes are not as prevalent or well-known as those found in some other volcanic regions.
Yellowstone has produced both basaltic and rhyolitic lava flows. It is better known for its ecplosive eruptions, which produce large ash clouds and pyroclastic flows rather than lava flows.
No
magma type\
It comes from a heat source (lava chamber) that is below the surface of the earth In the chamber: hot rock or magma
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
A cubic yard of crushed lava rock typically weighs around 2,750 pounds (1.375 tons).
Yes, Yosemite National Park is located on the site of a supervolcano. The last major eruption of the Yosemite supervolcano occurred over 700,000 years ago and was responsible for creating the volcanic features in the park such as Half Dome and El Capitan. However, the chances of another major eruption in the near future are considered to be low.
Yellowstone is a super volcano, which is a large volcano capable of erupting more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of material in a single eruption. It is not specifically categorized as a composite, cinder cone, or shield volcano due to its unique geological characteristics.
