Previous images of Yellowstone's supervolcano showed a low concentration of only 10 percent, but the new research observed that 16 to 20 percent of the caldera contains magma.
However, your average coal-fired power plant might emit up to 10,000 metric tonnes per day, so even a massive restless volcano like Yellowstone doesn’t add anything to the atmosphere compared to ...
