Earthquakes Could Trigger Massive Supervolcano Eruptions, Study Suggests

Supervolcanoes, such as the one dormant under Yellowstone National Park, may erupt when cracks form in the roofs of the chambers holding their molten rock, according to a new study. If scientists want to monitor supervolcanoes to see which ones are likely to erupt, this finding suggests they should look for telltale signs, such as earthquakes and other factors that might crack the magma chambers of these giant volcanoes. Supervolcanoes are capable of eruptions overshadowing anything in recorded
