Talk:Caldera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Should probably be split into two or more pages. There were at least two companies by the name of Caldera (Caldera Systems, Inc., and something else) at the same time for a while. —Mulad
[edit] Confusion
207.118.9.58 01:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)I was under the impression that the term caldera referred to a specific type of magma chamber that tends to create these depressions, not the depressions themselves. The article seems to partially agree with me. Yellowstone, for example, shows no such depression due to the fact that the magma chamber has exceeded "half full" (when compared to evidence of previous Yellowstone eruptions). The only places where one can claim to see such a depression are a series of cliffs formed by several eruptions over eons, and are not a sign of any true land depression.
[edit] 1980?
After the article says 'When Mount St. Helens erupted' .. there should be a date. But are they talking about the 1980 eruption?
207.118.9.58 01:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Yes, they are speaking of the 1980 eruption.
