Craters of the Moon

edit

Even the Wikipedia article on CotM refer to their source as being Basin and Range faulting and not the Yellowstone Hot-spot. Also the Buttes referenced are not a feature of the Yellowstone Hot-spot. Rework in order... I will do later (when I have time) Ralph 1 March06

Wrong caldera in satellite photo

edit

The caldera in the photo is the Henry's Fork caldera. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.248.169.116 (talk) 20:41, 5 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Indeed that IS the Yellowstone Caldera. Check the wiki on it.

Geothermal capacity Section-Magical Caldera?

edit

The Yellowstone Caldera has never moved. Just thought I'd point this one out for ya. Refer to the Wiki on it if you need source...

Climate section additions

edit

I have gathered 5 academic sources that can serve as broad outline of climatic changes on the plain from the early-Pliocene to the Holocene (with lots of gaps in between of course). I understand that the current "effects on climate" section mainly pertains to Yellowstone. The sources I have collected pertain to the western SRP in particular (Idaho Falls–Bruneau area) and disproportionately provide climate speculations for the Pliocene period (4Mya-2.3Mya, approximately) but also offer information on vegetation and moisture regimes for the last 30 thousand years. I am currently drafting in my sandbox a cohesive narrative and hope to start adding to this article in the next week! It may call for a new section or series of sub-sections...Whichever is easier on the eyes and the brain. Cshields94 (talk) 06:03, 16 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not enough citations

edit

This is a great topic, but the lack of reputable citations is a serious problem. I'm certain this will be corrected in the near future ^_^ Paleo_Broad 02:31, 12 June 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chantel Saban (talkcontribs)
