A supervolcano is a volcano capable of producing a volcanic eruption with an ejecta volume greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles).


Which wouldn't count. I don't think.

There's another "supervolcano" underneath Yellowstone National Park (home of Yogi Bear) as well. Oh, and the Mississippi river is a giant fault line.

It's really not a matter of If but When, fearmongering aside. Embrace the chaos.
