Researchers discovered that the tremors in Greece were not caused by a slipping fault but were triggered by rebounding sheets ...

Every day, the supervolcano lurking under Yellowstone National Park belches up 45,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide - much more than could be produced by the known magma chamber that lies just below ...

The 2021 "Fagradalsfjall Fires" eruptions may have been triggered by magma pooling just underneath the ground, contrary to what scientists initially thought. An eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano ...

When the dinosaur-snuffing asteroid hit Earth some 66 million years ago, it produced a subterranean pool of magma roughly nine times larger than the current caldera at Yellowstone National Park, ...

Supervolcanoes with the power to destroy human civilisations may have much shorter fuses than was previously thought, scientists believe. The news could be bad for the US, where a supervolcano is said ...

The supervolcano below Long Valley, California, near Yosemite National Park hasn't erupted in 765,000 years—but when it did, if geologists had been around to watch it, they may have been surprised by ...

The largest pocket of molten rock on Earth has driven up a region in the Andes to form the world's second highest continental plateau. The body of magma is more than a kilometre deep and hundreds of ...

If Mars conceals a lake beneath its south polar ice cap, the planet must also have a hidden chamber of magma to keep the water liquid, a new analysis suggests. Signs of a 20-kilometer-wide lake, ...

The largest volcanoes on our planet may take as little as a few hundred years to form and erupt. These "supervolcanoes" were thought to exist for as much as 200,000 ...
