Early in the formation of Earth, an ocean of magma covered the planet’s surface and stretched thousands of miles deep into its core. The rate at which that “magma ocean” cooled affected the formation ...

Scientists have worked out the consistency of the magma under the Yellowstone caldera using seismic waves — and the reservoir is filled with "mush" that doesn't pose an imminent eruption threat. When ...
