"Scientists Focused on Two Distant Supervolcanoes"

Two long-dormant supervolcanoes, Campi Flegrei in Italy and Long Valley Caldera in California, have been experiencing seismic unrest, raising concerns about potential eruptions. While experts say there is no immediate threat, the seismic activity indicates changes in the volcanoes' crusts. Campi Flegrei's uplift has been slower and longer-lasting compared to previous periods of unrest, suggesting a weakening crust. However, even if a rupture occurs, it does not guarantee a volcanic eruption. Similarly, the Long Valley Caldera has seen increased earthquake activity but has shown signs of cooling magma, reducing the likelihood of a major eruption. Scientists are using innovative methods to study these complex volcanic systems and improve eruption forecasting.
