For decades, scientists knew magma was simmering beneath the earth at Yellowstone National Park. A team of researchers ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
