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.

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 ...
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.

Caldera structure is similar on all of these planetary bodies, though the size varies considerably. The average caldera diameter on Venus is 68 km (42 mi). The average caldera diameter on Io is close to 40 km (25 mi), and the mode is 6 km (3.7 mi); Tvashtar Paterae is likely the largest caldera with a diameter of 290 km (180 mi). The average ...
Maps show the areas impacted by storm surge, rainfall levels and more as Helene, once a major hurricane and now a tropical storm, moves inland from Florida's Gulf Coast over Georgia.
On a map showing only volcanic rocks, the west coast of North America shows a striking continuous north–south structure, the American Cordillera. The North American Cordillera extends up and down the coast of North America and roughly from the Great Plains westward to the Pacific Ocean , narrowing somewhat from north to south.
