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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
