Unveiling the Hidden Depths of Yellowstone: New Imaging Reveals Surprising Discoveries
New imaging tools have provided scientists with a better understanding of the underground activity in Yellowstone National Park, revealing the distribution of semi-liquid material in horizontal layers within the magma chamber. This improved understanding can help in predicting volcanic systems, earthquakes, and eruptions. However, the findings do not indicate that Yellowstone is any closer to a massive eruption, as the underground remains mostly solid. The most recent volcanic eruption in the park occurred approximately 70,000 years ago.
