Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery beneath Yellowstone’s supervolcano — a “breathing” magma cap just 2.6 miles below the surface. This cap traps intense heat and pressure ...

Fortunately, the Yellowstone magma system appears to be in a stable configuration. The seismic reflection results suggest about 14% fluid and about 86% solid crystals in the cap layer of the ...

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 ...
