#Supervolcanoes are distinct #thermodynamic entities defined by the explosive ejection of over 1,000 cubic kilometers of bulk deposits (VEI 8) and the subsequent formation of massive #calderas through crustal collapse rather than edifice construction. There's no doom and gloom here, you might just as well relax a bit.
