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)
This article is rather confusing. Valles Caldera National Preserve points to this article which is supposedly about Valle Grande but is really about the Preserve. What's more, the first sentence equates the valley (valle) to the entire caldera though Valle Grande is only part of the caldera. Peter (Cactus Pete) 22:55, 26 July 2007 (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?
Minor Change: Was President Bill Clinton enacted the... Chnaged to as it now is. Presidents don't enact. Congress enacts. Presidents sign.

I read today a statement from a person studying the Valles Caldera NP that it has more lightning strikes than any other "area" other then Orlando. I'm not sure exactly what this means but I believe it. I've never see so much lighting in one area in my entire life. I guess it depends on the definition of area.
Is the Valles Caldera dormant or extinct at the moment? Does anyone know if there are any tiltmetres there, or seismic recording devices? Darkmind1970 11:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
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)
This is not a supervolcano. The term "supervolcano" implies a volcanic center that has had an eruption of magnitude 8 on the Volcano Explosivity Index (VEI), meaning the measured deposits for that eruption is greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles). https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/yellowstone/yellowstone_sub_page_49.html
The VC erupted only 300 cubic kilometers - which means the VC does not qualify.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iwearvelcroshoes ( talk • contribs)
When viewed in Google Earth, this file Global_1986-2010_KG_5m.kmz (available here http://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/present.htm ) indicates the Köppen climate classification for the Valles Caldera is Dfb. The current article states it has a Dfc climate, but I am unable to find a rigorous source for that classification. Can someone here provide it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leveretth ( talk • contribs) 17:16, 28 June 2021 UTC (UTC)
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)
