Scientists have discovered a giant 'magma cap' under Yellowstone National Park. The cap is likely playing a critical role in ...

A new study shows a volcanic eruption of Yellowstone may be even less likely than we thought: Scientists have discovered a ...

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 ...

It’s been thousands of years since an eruption occurred at Yellowstone, and new research shows what may be contributing to ...

Yellowstone's supervolcano appears to have a magma cap that vents pressure and reduces the chances of a massive eruption happening anytime soon.

Atop the magma reservoir, researchers found a sharp, volatile-rich magma cap. The cap works like a lid on a pot, keeping the pressure and heat created down below. And by finding a defined magma ...

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 ...

There, rock abruptly gives way to bubbling magma, the geoscientists found, creating a magma cap — a sign that the reservoir is dynamic and active. The data adds to existing evidence that ...
