Supervolcano is the title of a British-Canadian television disaster film, first released in 2005. It tells a fictional story of a supereruption at Yellowstone.

The term "supervolcano" implies a volcanic center that has had an eruption of magnitude 8 on the Volcano Explosivity Index (VEI), meaning that at one point in time it erupted more than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles) of material.

Dec 4, 2024 · The Phlegraean Fields, now considered one massive supervolcano, are beginning to stir, making the scientific community uneasy. These volcanic fields, nestled just west of Naples, Italy, are among the top eight emitters of volcanic carbon dioxide worldwide.

Mar 11, 2025 · Supervolcanoes are characterized by their capacity to produce eruptions of an unprecedented scale, often ejecting over 240 cubic miles (1,000 cubic kilometers) of material. These eruptions can have devastating global consequences, impacting climate, ecosystems, and human civilization.

Aug 21, 2024 · These massive natural wonders have the power to alter the planet's climate and trigger global catastrophes. Unlike your everyday volcano, super volcanoes have eruptions of epic proportions, releasing thousands of cubic kilometers of magma in a single blast.

Mar 19, 2019 · Learn how supervolcanoes form, where supervolcanoes are located, and how their destructive capabilities can make way for new life. How dangerous are supervolcanoes? Get the facts. Though...

A volcano is categorised as a supervolcano if it can produce a magnitude-eight eruption on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, discharging more than 1,000 cubic kilometres of material. These eruptions are sometimes called 'super eruptions' and are the biggest and most explosive of all.

Feb 17, 2025 · Supervolcanoes are what people mean when they say that Wyoming has a terrible secret located beneath Yellowstone Park, whose caldera last erupted roughly 630,000 years ago and was 1,000 times more potent than the 1980 St. …

Feb 11, 2024 · Supervolcanoes are the largest, most explosive, and catastrophic volcanic eruptions. They spew immense volumes of at least 1000 km 3 of ash, gas, and other debris and have a volcanic explosivity index of 8. These eruptions are ultraplinian and produce large ash plumes reaching the stratosphere.
