Talk:Valles Caldera

message: A better title would be Valles Caldera National Preserve, especially since the world is so filled with "Valle Grandes". --Wetman 19:06, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

text: Valle Grande is now a proper disambig page, which sets up future separation of these two subjects.  No need to hurry though, as they seem to coexist fine at the moment.  ∴ here…♠ 02:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

But don't geoligist say that parts of the Rio Grande Rift and Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east were modified from the effects of the blast? Or have those effects been eroded away over time?
* Changed. An expert in geology might want to contradict me if this is wrong: But if you look on the USGS topographical map (e.g. using the TerraServer link in the article), it clearly is not the whole volcano. – Ylai 04:47, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: "Extinct" certainly isn't correct, as User:Guanlongwucaii points out.  Use of the term "dormant" is notoriously inexact and probably should be discouraged.  There is an excellent new book on the caldera by geologist Fraser Goff that talks about the eruptive status (among many other things) at some length; I'll try to adapt some verbiage from it to the article when I get home from work.  Rhyolite volcanism typically has a "slow tempo" (another nice phrase from a good reference, Wood and Kienle, Volcanoes of North America) and the caldera and Jemez Mountains should certainly be considered potentially active, even though nothing more exciting than fumaroles is currently happening.  Let me see if I can find some primary sources regarding instrumentation; the range is monitored for seismicity, although there are no tiltmeters that I know of. -- Bill-on-the-Hill (talk) 19:22, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Parts of the Valles Caldera

message: It seems like "Valles Caldera" (this article) is already mostly functioning as the article for Valle Grande. There exists a separate article for it however. Seems like an obvious merge but I thought I'd wait for comments since I'm not familiar with the area. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:28, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I support a merge. I'd never heard that part of the caldera was a dried lake bed until I read the NASA page (interesting!). Most references I've seen refer to the caldera as a whole.  - J-Mo Talk to Me Email Me 03:01, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Fully support a merger based on how little new information is on the Valle Grande article compared with the Caldera article. Coinmanj (talk) 02:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge "Valle Grande, New Mexico" here? 

message: The article Resurgent dome states that resurgent domes are not Lava domes. This article uses the term resurgent lava dome and some text does imply some kind of hybrid of the two. What is the truth here? Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 03:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
