Yellowstone ... deeper magma body, likely composed of basalt — Earth’s most primitive magma type and the heat engine that helps to generate and sustain the shallower rhyolite magma chamber.

A team from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), publishing last week in Nature Geoscience also measured the percentage of rock in Yellowstone magma reservoirs that's actually melted.

Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles ... This allows us to map out regions of rock where seismic waves travel more quickly or more slowly. That information can then be turned into estimates of physical ...

A detailed look at Yellowstone's magma storage system finds that only one region is likely to host liquid magma in the long term. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

In the paper, a group of researchers says that magma levels beneath the Yellowstone Caldera are greater than we previously believed. But there’s no reason for people to worry, as the Yellowstone ...

allowing scientists to map magma zones without drilling. This approach pinpoints subterranean areas where molten rock might accumulate. “We find that rhyolitic melts are stored in segregated regions ...

Yellowstone Caldera ... (and amount) of magma. The more seismometers recording data and the more earthquakes that are measured, the better the resolution of the map. The same idea can be applied ...
