Magma chamber

Underneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, there is a reservoir of magma that is more than twice the size that researchers previously thought. It’s not getting bigger. It’s just that new technology has made the ability to see it better. This will also have implications on the extent of the volcano’s impact […]

And again, we are waiting for the next event to unfold at Svartsengi. Since the previous eruption ended (exactly one month ago today), the magma chamber has been refilling itself at a steady pace again. It is expected the next event may take more time than the leadup to previous eruptions, while also possibly resulting in something larger than before. A series of events this is compared to are the Krafla Fires, which are a series of eruptions that occurred from the mid-seventies until the…

A magma consists mostly of liquid rock matter, but may contain crystals of various minerals, and may contain a gas phase that may be dissolved in the liquid or may be present as a separate gas phase. Magma can cool to form an igneous rock either on the surface of the Earth - in which case it produces a volcanic or extrusive igneous rock, or beneath the surface of the Earth, - in which case it produces a plutonic or intrusive igneous rock.

Scientists are planning to drill into a volcano's magma chamber to harness its powerful energy. The project, called "Drilling into the Magma Chamber," aims to tap into the intense heat and pressure inside the volcano to generate electricity. Led by Dr. Albert Borkent, the team of scientists will use a specialized drilling rig to reach the magma chamber, located several kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. They will then insert pipes and cables to extract the heat and convert it into…

A magma chamber is a large underground pool of liquid rock found beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock in such a chamber is under a lot pressure, and given enough time, that pressure can gradually change the rock around it creating pockets for the magma. -- Grace Gentry

Scientists are planning to drill into a volcano's magma chamber to harness its powerful energy. The "Icelandic Magma Drilling Project" aims to tap into the thermal energy stored in the magma beneath the earth's surface. This energy can generate electricity and provide a sustainable power source. The team of scientists and engineers will drill a well over 3 miles deep to reach the magma chamber. They will use a specialized drilling fluid to extract heat from the magma, converting it into…

Explosive caldera-forming eruptions eject voluminous magma during the gravitational collapse of the roof of the magma chamber. Caldera collapse is known to occur by rapid decompression of a magma chamber at shallow depth, however, the thresholds for magma chamber decompression that promotes caldera collapse have not been tested using examples from actual caldera-forming eruptions. Here, we investigated the processes of magma chamber decompression leading to caldera collapse using two natural…
