List one Example ANSWER BACK TO GAME FINAL ROUND Answer Definition: The common understanding is a volcanic eruption that is several orders of magnitude stronger than most volcanic eruptions seen today. This would produce dramatic effects on the surrounding landscape and the global climate. Examples: Yellowstone, Long Valley in eastern California, Toba in Indonesia, and Taupo in New Zealand. Other "supervolcanoes" would likely include the large caldera volcanoes of Japan, Indonesia, and South America. BACK TO GAME
