The Apolaki Caldera is a volcanic caldera with a diameter of 150 kilometers (93 mi), making it the world's largest caldera. It is located within the Benham Rise (Philippine Rise) and was discovered in 2019 by Jenny Anne Barretto , a Filipino marine geophysicist and her team.

Mount Mazama's eruption timeline, an example of caldera formation. A caldera (/ k ɔː l ˈ d ɛr ə, k æ l-/ [1] kawl-DERR-ə, kal-) is a large cauldron-like hollow that forms shortly after the emptying of a magma chamber in a volcanic eruption. An eruption that ejects large volumes of magma over a short period of time can cause significant ...
The upward movement of the Yellowstone caldera floor between 2004 and 2008—almost 75 millimetres (3.0 in) each year—was more than three times greater than ever observed since such measurements began in 1923. [102] From 2004 to 2008, the land surface within the caldera moved upward as much as 8 inches (20 cm) at the White Lake GPS station.
The Apolaki Caldera is about 150 km in diameter, making it the largest known Caldera in the world, and 90 km larger than the Yellowstone Caldera. [2] Its monumental size suggests that the magnetic pulses associated with its formation have had a significant impact on the physics and chemistry in its region of the Pacific Ocean. [2] The Apolaki ...
