Thankfully, the magma cap works sort of like a CPAP machine, keeping internal pressures relatively stable, allowing the supervolcano to sleep somewhat soundly. "For decades, ...
Yellowstone is not just a beautiful park. It is also one of the most dangerous volcanos in the world, and scientists recently ...
Yellowstone's supervolcano appears to have a magma cap that vents pressure and reduces the chances of a massive eruption happening anytime soon.
A seismic survey reveals a magma cap 2.5 miles under Yellowstone, acting as a pressure-release lid and reducing the risk of a super volcano eruption.
The cap allows those bubbles to rise upward before being transferred out of the system. Yellowstone’s iconic hydrothermal features are known to emit gases found within magma, like that below ...
