Scientists made ‘tiny earthquakes’ to find where Yellowstone’s magma begins
To locate Yellowstone National Park, which is renowned for its geysers, hot springs, and massive underground magma reservoir and is one of the most geologically active places on Earth, researchers used "tiny earthquakes." Scientists have been trying to figure out exactly how the volcanic system in Yellowstone works, particularly where the magma starts and how it moves. Recently, researchers conducted an innovative experiment using artificially created “tiny earthquakes” to map the depths of Yellowstone’s magma chambers Yellowstone’s magma begins.
