Re "Booms" ... <Areas of the park's topography inflate like a bellows because of magma infusing into volcanic chambers about six miles below the surface > 10km below the surface isn't far. As a launching pad it's not enough to really send a column of ejecta flying. It takes a long barrel of liquids converting to gases to really launch projectiles. That's why long range guns have long barrels and sawn off shotguns are good only for close action. The liquids convertible to gases float to the top of magma chambers so there can't be a 200km long column of hot liquid ready to launch. Admittedly I haven't studied the caldera's structure, but it's certainly potentially a booming situation leading to busting. Mqurice
