Scientists have discovered 240 cubic miles of semi-molten magma below
the Long Valley Caldera, a supervolcano in eastern California near
Mammoth Mountain.
The long-dormant supervolcano is currently a
20-mile-long caldera, or a crater that forms after an eruption forces
the mouth of a volcano to collapse. According to an August report
published in the scientific journal Geology, the semi-molten magma found could lead to possible eruptions.
