What is created after a catastrophic eruption of a supervolcano?
Caldera Volcanoes are formed when magma (liquid rock from under the earth's surface) erupts from the mountain and eventually cools and solidifies on the mountain itself. However, there is so much pressure during a catastrophic supervolcanic eruption that too much magma is ejected to form a mountain. The land then collapses and forms a caldera (a cauldron-like shape).

Different volcanos produce lava of different viscosities. This is the main reason some volcanoes erupt explosively, and some just spread runny lava over a large area. To give you an idea of how the difference in viscosities of different types of magma, consider the following experiment. You have two swimming pools, one filled with basaltic lava (think Hawaii), and one filled with rhyolitic lava (think Mount St. Helens). You drop a steel ball in the basaltic lava. It takes about eight hours to sink to the bottom. You drop a steel ball in the rhyolitic lava. About how long does it take to sink to the bottom this time?
