Magma reservoirs key to volcanic eruptions
(WorldNews Environment)

New study shows the importance of large reservoirs in creating Earth`s most powerful volcanic eruptions and explains why they are so rare Large reservoirs of magma stored deep in the Earth`s crust are key to producing some of the Earth`s most powerful volcanic eruptions, new research has shown. In a new study, an international team of scientists claim that the most powerful volcanic eruptions, dubbed `super-eruptions`, are triggered by a slow and steady drip feed of magma from large reservoirs deep within the Earth`s crust into smaller reservoirs...
