Scientists have worked out the consistency of the magma under the Yellowstone caldera using seismic waves — and the reservoir is filled with "mush" that doesn't pose an imminent eruption threat.

Using a novel imaging technique for volcanoes that produces high-resolution pictures of seismic wave properties, a new study reveals a large, previously undetected body of mobile magma underneath ...

Mount Rainier was experiencing "the most significant seismic activity" at the volcano in more than 15 years as an "earthquake ...

A new study claims that Antarctica is in most danger of experiencing more frequent and explosive volcanoes due to the ...

Earth's crust is continually being created at the spreading centres of mid-ocean ridges. Here, magma rises up from the mantle and resides in shallow chambers before erupting onto the sea floor. A ...

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.
