"California's Active Volcano: Is an Eruption Imminent?"

The Long Valley Caldera in California, classified as one of the state's riskiest volcanoes, has been experiencing geological changes and seismic activity, raising concerns about a possible eruption. However, researchers from Caltech have concluded that while the increased seismic activity and ground deformation are notable, they are likely caused by the cooling and solidifying magma releasing gas and liquid, rather than indicating an imminent supervolcanic eruption. Other pockets of magma in the area still pose a threat, and the potential consequences of volcanic eruptions in California include disruptions to electricity supply, transportation, and water contamination.
