The highest volcano in the world is Cerro Ojos del Salado. It is a stratovolcano in South America’s Central Volcanic Zone, reaching an impressive 6893 meters above sea level (or at least above ...

Beneath Yellowstone National Park lies something extraordinary—a giant underground chamber filled with molten rock, trapped gases, and intense heat. For years, scientists have known about this ...

Giant ‘Magma Cap’ Discovered Under Yellowstone National Park Likely Plays Critical Role in Preventing Huge Volcanic Eruption The cap, which acts like a lid, was discovered 3.8 kilometers under ...

The location of the magma cap, which was later determined through modeling to be made of silicate melt and supercritical water bubbles within a porous rock, was first determined via a high ...

For the first time, geoscientists detected the top of Yellowstone’s magma reservoir. It is active and dynamic, but not in danger of erupting, they found.

“When the magma rises from the deeper crust, volatile materials such as CO2 and H2O exsolve from the melt. Due to their buoyancy, they tend to accumulate at the top of the magma chamber,” said Fan-Chi ...

Once magma chambers become unstable, they could continue erupting periodically for thousands of years, continually melting ice. Moreover, rising carbon dioxide levels intensify this feedback loop.

According to Phys.org, the authors analyzed these “internal dynamics” by designing a thermomechanical magma chamber model and simulated various pressure decreases caused by deglaciation.

As soon as rock starts melting, however, electric currents can flow through it. So magma appears on the magnetotellurics measurements as pockets of high subterranean conductivity.

However, that magma is not likely to go anywhere anytime soon, wrote Mark Stelton, a USGS scientist stationed at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, in an online column called Caldera Chronicles.
