University of Missouri-Columbia. "Supervolcanic ash can turn to lava miles from eruption."ScienceDaily, 27 Aug. 2013. Web.
"Supervolcanic Ash Can Turn to Lava Miles Away from Eruption" (Aug. 27, 2013). Lava usually flows after a volcanic eruption has occurred. Scientists discovered that ash can turn into lava miles away from the supervolcano's eruption site. Researchers are watching Yellowstone National Park for such an event that may occur. Read more about what scientists had discovered about this event.

"Molten Magma Can Survive in Upper Crust for Hundreds of Millennia" (Aug. 19, 2013). Reservoirs of silica-rich magma from an explosive volcanic eruption can rest in Earth's upper crust after thousands of years. Scientists are studying these reservoirs in locations around the world, including the Yellowstone National Park. Read more about these reservoirs existing thousands of years after eruptions.
