‘Catastrophic’ supervolcano eruption much more likely than previously thought, scientists warn

Until now, it had been widely thought that the likelihood of a blow-out was dependent on the presence of liquid magma under a volcano.

But the new research – coordinated by Oregan State University, in the US, with scientists from across the world – found evidence that “eruptions can occur even if no liquid magma is found”.

Isn’t there a tax that can save us?
