My daughter needs to answer this question for a school report and I've been trying to help her find this one piece of info without results.

Yeah - the question is "how many sq. km is your volcano?" I've never heard of volcanoes or mts measured this way either. She also has to build one (thankfully her teacher does not want eruptions). I swear the teachers just want to torture the parents!

Darth_Elm0 - I checked out that site already and that measurement is for the caldera. Could that be what the question means? I'll have her give that for the answer and specify that it is the caldera.
Thanks all!

3.5 by 4.5 km or 15.75 sq. km

sorry madam, but this is all i can find for you. "Most residents had evacuated surrounding areas when Pinatubo erupted catastrophically (June 15, 1991), killing over 500 people and burying over 310 sq mi (800 sq km)" if it said erupted and covered 800 sq km. This means that the mountain is less than 800 sq km. hope that narrow your search down a bit =(

Well, it's 1480 meters in height -- but square km? As in land area? Hmm, looking...
Coudn't find the area of it -- but lots of info on the area devastated by the eruption! Maybe you can find what you're looking for here:

(mountains aren't usually measured by "area", which is what the square km measurement would be -- I can't even find that for Mt. Everest! are you sure that's what she needs?)
