Researchers analyzing the Yellowstone supervolcano's crater found that magma inside is moving northeast, shifting volcanic activity and indicating potential eruption areas compared to previous warnings.
Despite fears surrounding the Yellowstone supervolcano, lead author Ninfa Bennington stated, 'Nowhere in Yellowstone do we have regions that are capable of eruption.' This suggests that while magma presence is abundant, it is not sufficiently interconnected for an imminent blast.
Through a magnetotelluric survey, scientists were able to peer into the Yellowstone Caldera, revealing important details about the underground magma formations and their implications.
The bulk of magma in Yellowstone is stored in segregated underground reservoirs, thus preventing it from becoming concentrated enough to trigger an eruption.
