The article offers information on the supervolcano under the Yellowstone National Park.

The article features the Yellowstone supervolcano located in Wyoming underneath the Yellowstone National Park. Topics mentioned include the record of seismometers on the number of earthquakes in a year indicating that the volcano is active, the caldera which is created by the ancient eruptions, and the illustration that the crust of the North American tectonic plate are moveable.

The article presents information on the sleeping supervolcano underneath the Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. Even as the giant volcano sleeps, its heat energy affects the land above, as it is still active today. Heat and pressure below ground constantly change and build and the water is so hot that steam rises from the water, and rainbow colors come from algae and bacteria that thrive in the hot water.

This article discusses the geology of Yellowstone National Park in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana, which is located in a basin formed as the crater, or caldera, of a supervolcano. The geysers of Yellowstone such as Sawmill and Old Faithful are powered by hydrothermal activity that is a remnant of volcanic activity in the region. Research by geologists including Francis Boyd and Bob Christiansen into the possibility that this supervolcano is still active is considered.

The article discusses the discovery of a magma chamber underneath the Yellowstone supervolcano. Emphasis is given to topics such as the capacity of the chamber, failure to locate the chamber due to distortion of seismic waves used to visualize deep areas, and the discharge of carbon dioxide from the volcanic system.

The article informs that researchers at Washington State University (WSU), Pullman, have found a new way to estimate how fast magma is recharging beneath the supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park, and mentions views of Peter Larson, a professor in WSU's School of Environment, on same.

The article covers a study which suggests that a subducting tectonic plate is the cause of volcanic activity at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Information is included on research led by geodynamicist Lijun Liu that used computer simulations of movements of the Farallon Plate that may be affecting mantle and led to the creation of the underground supervolcano.

The article offers information on the supervolcano called the Yellowstone Caldera in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. It states that a supervolcano is larger than a normal volcano and forms when magma rises from the Earth's mantle, creating a reservoir in the Earth's crust. The impacts if Yellowstone erupts are described. According to the article, it is important to monitor Yellowstone's activity so that inhabitants can be forewarned and prepared.

A letter to the editor is presented in response to the article "Giant magma pool beneath Yellowstone" by Thomas Sumner in the May 16, 2015, issue.

The article discusses research by geologist Hsin-Hua Huang and colleagues, reported in the journal "Science," on evidence from seismic waves indicating the presence of a huge magma reservoir below the known magma chamber of the supervolcano underneath Yellowstone National Park.

The article focuses on the Yellowstone National Park which was established by former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant as the country's first national park. It states that the park encompasses a giant supervolcano which is responsible for signature geysers and hot springs. It also mentions some of the explorations done on the park which include that of Ferdinand Hayden in 1871.
