Question

Select the correct answers.

The Yellowstone Caldera is a crater in Yellowstone National Park that sits on top of a hot spot and an active magma chamber. The Yellowstone Caldera and other calderas in the park were formed by volcanic eruptions from the same hot spot. Based on this information, which statement about the Yellowstone Caldera is true?



A.

The Yellowstone Caldera is the only caldera in the park resulting from a meteorite strike.



B.

The Yellowstone Caldera drags the hot spot with it when the plate beneath the caldera moves.



C.

The Yellowstone Caldera will eventually move farther away from the hot spot source.



D.

All the calderas in the park, including the Yellowstone caldera, formed at the same time.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the Yellowstone Caldera is that it will move farther away from the hot spot as the North American Plate moves over the stationary hot spot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided, the correct statement about the Yellowstone Caldera is: C. The Yellowstone Caldera will eventually move farther away from the hot spot source. This is because the North American Plate is moving over the stationary hot spot, and as it does so, the location of new volcanic activity can shift, leading to the creation of new calderas over geological time. The other statements are incorrect: A is false because the calderas were formed by volcanic activity, not a meteorite strike; B is inaccurate as the caldera does not drag the hot spot, but rather the plate moves over it; D is incorrect as the calderas, including the Yellowstone Caldera, did not form simultaneously but rather at different times as the plate moved over the hot spot.
