Supervolcanoes likely triggered externally, study finds

> Supervolcanoes, massive eruptions with potential global consequences,
> appear not to follow the conventional volcano mechanics of internal
> pressure building until the volcano blows. Instead, a new study
> finds, such massive magma chambers might erupt when the roof above
> them cracks or collapses.
>
> Knowledge of triggering mechanisms is crucial for monitoring
> supervolcano systems, including ones that lie beneath Yellowstone
> National Park and Long Valley, California, according to the study led
> by Patricia Gregg, University of Illinois professor of geology, in
> collaboration with professor Eric Grosfils of Pomona College and
> professor Shan de Silva of Oregon State University. The study was
> published in the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research.
> Gregg also presented the findings this week at the annual meeting of
> the Geological Society of America.
