A sideways flow of hot mantle rock, not a deep plume rising from near Earth’s core, may be feeding one of the planet’s most ...

A new geodynamic model is reshaping how scientists understand supervolcanoes, revealing that their magma systems may be far more diffuse and dynamic than previously believed.

A lot of research goes into determining how to best predict the next eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Part of this ...

Scientists uncover how underground mantle winds create and control powerful supervolcano eruptions like Yellowstone.

Supereruptions are extremely large volcanic eruptions that eject more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of magma, rock and ash.

A research team from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS) has developed a ...

The Ontong Java Plateau (OJP), located in the Pacific Ocean, formed around 110 to 120 million years ago through massive submarine volcanic eruptions. This event is considered the most extensive ...
