Geoscientists have discovered a magma cap at Yellowstone National Park that is likely playing a critical role in preventing a ...

A recent study discovered the exact location of the Yellowstone supervolcano's magma cap -- and hints at when it may erupt.

A team of researchers from Rice University, the University of New Mexico, the University of Utah, and the University of Texas at Dallas recently found a large magma cap about 2.4 miles beneath the ...

The data adds to existing evidence that Yellowstone is not facing an imminent volcanic eruption. The magma cap acts as a lid on the pressure and heat beneath, and the system is releasing gas at a ...

It's sort of like taking an MRI of the Earth. And we can see this few hundred foot thick cap to the Yellowstone magma reservoir that's over 2 miles deep. I think that says a lot about our ability to ...

SCIENTISTS have discovered a hidden lid that keeps the vast reservoir of magma beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano at bay.

And by finding a defined magma cap, researchers have also been able to determine that Yellowstone’s system remains lively and dynamic. “It hasn’t just been sitting there without any recharge ...

Scientists discovered a magma cap underneath Yellowstone National Park’s surface that may act as a lid to prevent the ...

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 ...
