Underneath Yellowstone National Park, magma bubbles and flows. But exactly how close it is to the surface has long been a mystery to scientists — until now. For the first time, researchers have ...

The magma cap is critical for preventing eruptions at Yellowstone. Geoscientists have discovered a magma cap at Yellowstone National Park that is likely playing a critical role in preventing a ...

However, a team of scientists recently found magma chambers lurking beneath six volcanoes in the Cascade Range. The findings published January 23 in the journal Nature Geoscience are challenging ...

Researchers from Rice University imaged the magma underneath Yellowstone and showed how it vents pressure, reducing the likelihood of a massive eruption anytime soon. Every day, like clockwork ...

Geoscientists discovered a magma cap acting as a "lid" 2.4 miles beneath Yellowstone. This magma cap traps heat and pressure, but also allows gas to vent, reducing eruption risk. Seismic imaging ...

The loss of the magma played a crucial role in the moon's landscape formation. There was once a magma-filled ocean on the south pole of the moon, scientists recently discovered after analyzing ...

Fortunately, clues at the surface, such as earthquakes and ground deformation, can indicate movement within underground magma dikes—sheets of magma that cut across layers of rock. Scientists can ...
