A vast, previously undetected reservoir containing approximately 6,000 cubic kilometers of magma has been discovered beneath the region of Tuscany. This subterranean body of volcanic fluid is situated at depths ranging from 8 to 15 kilometers within the continental crust.

Super Magma Reservoirs Discovered Beneath Tuscany

A Swiss-Italian team has discovered 6,000 km³ of magma beneath Tuscany.

How does lava turn into hair-like glass?

Experiments show gas-rich molten rock can be stretched into thin filaments, like molten sugar. A new mechanism for the formation of “Pele’s hair”.

Scientists say there is a massive freshwater reservoir under the Great Salt Lake. And under the water, carry the water. Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean. Water dissolving, and water removing. Same as it ever was

A massive freshwater reservoir is hiding under the Great Salt Lake

A hidden freshwater system deep beneath the Great Salt Lake has been revealed using airborne electromagnetic surveys. Scientists found that freshwater extends much farther under the lake than expected, reaching depths of up to 4 kilometers. The discovery began with mysterious reed-covered mounds formed by pressurized groundwater pushing upward. Researchers are now investigating whether this underground water could help control hazardous dust from the drying lakebed.
