However, a team of scientists recently found magma chambers lurking beneath six volcanoes in the Cascade Range. The findings published January 23 in the journal Nature Geoscience are challenging ...

Magma composition may drive volcanic tremor Daily ashfall sampling at Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands demonstrates potential for near-real-time eruption monitoring and forecasting tool ...

[Related: Geologists: We’re not ready for volcanoes.] While there is no current risk of an eruption, the ground surrounding the ominous spot also seems to have a lot of magma. A new study ...

By Robin George Andrews Magma is the explosive lifeblood of volcanoes. The Yellowstone supervolcano, centered in northwestern Wyoming, has plenty stored beneath its geyser-laden surface.

Heavier plates can slide beneath lighter ones, heating and melting the rock and creating magma. Volcanoes form as the magma rises through the Earth's crust. The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii’s ...

The Yellowstone supervolcano in the Western US contains substantially more magma than scientists previously thought, according to a new study that may lead to a better assessment of the volcano ...

Geologists turned to tiny bubbles to investigate the dynamics driving magma flow beneath Hawaii’s volcanoes as the country’s islands drift northwest on a tectonic plate. They found that, as the ...

Scientists in Iceland have come up with an ambitious plan to drill into a volcano's magma chamber to source an abundant amount of clean, super-hot geothermal energy. The project, which would be a ...

A volcano in Tanzania with magma that erupts like a garden hose has been steadily sinking into the ground for the past 10 years, a new study shows, and the cause could be a deflating reservoir ...

The project, which would be a scientific first if successful, would see boreholes drilled about 1.3 miles down through the earth’s crust at a volcano known as Krafla, located in the northeast of ...
