Volcano in Nicaragua near 2 million people hides two magma reservoirs, study finds
Scientists at Penn State have uncovered evidence of two previously unrecognised magma sources beneath Nicaragua's Masaya volcano, revealing a far more complex underground system than previously understood, and potentially improving...
Something strange is happening beneath a volcano near 2 million people
Scientists have discovered evidence of two hidden magma sources beneath Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano, where satellite observations revealed mysterious ground movements suggesting magma is shifting deep underground. The findings could improve eruption forecasting for the active volcano, which sits near 2 million people and attracts tourists to its spectacular lava lake.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have found signs of two separate sources of magma under the Masaya volcano in Nicaragua. Satellite data have shown that different areas of the volcano move differently, which could help improve prediction of eruptions.
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University, Penn State, have found evidence of two sources of magma previously unknown under the Masaya volcano, in...
Hidden Magma Reservoirs Expanding Beneath Nicaragua's Masaya Volcano
Deep beneath one of Central America’s most dangerous volcanic systems, researchers have uncovered evidence of two separate magma reservoirs behaving in completely different ways. One appears to be expanding as fresh molten rock enters from below, while another, much closer to the surface, has been losing volume. The discovery comes from years of satellite measurements […]
