Yellowstone's magma system shows new activity, with the northeast sector possibly hosting future volcanic activity.

Though the volcano’s magma chambers could hold enough material for a caldera-forming event, none of them are likely to erupt soon.

A detailed look at Yellowstone's magma storage system finds that only one region is likely to host liquid magma in the long ...

Seismic imaging of the Yellowstone system has also identified a deeper magma body, likely composed of basalt — Earth’s most primitive magma type and the heat engine that helps to generate and sustain ...

The greatest supervolcano on Earth, a geological giant with enormous destructive potential and an unmatched promise for ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions.

where heat is being diffused northeast. This further fuels the area where the "rhyolitic melt" is stored, the liquid component of the magma. Researchers found seven areas with a high magma focus ...

melted magma lurks in four separate reservoirs within the crust of the caldera. To the west, these reservoirs do not touch the deep mantle rocks that would otherwise heat them from below ...

Igneous rocks contain few or no combustible elements. And it’s very hard to remelt them back into magma because they ...
