      • characteristics
        • destructve margines
        • over hot spot
        • caldera
          • crater many times of vent
          • large size
        • large volume of material
        • flat
          • cover large area
      • process
        • magma rise through crust cracks
          • magma basin forms
            • pressure build- bulge-km wide
              • bulge crack-create vent
                • lava escape,erupt=earthquakes
                  • plumes of ash and rock
                    • magma basin empties
                      • bulge not supported
                        • bulge collapse =more lava
                          • eruption finished= caldera left
      • example
        • yellowstone
        • thousands of cubic of ash and lava
        • pyroclastic flow- kill burn bury
        • tens of miles destoyed
        • ash block sunlght
        • ash cover field- no crop- stavattion
