And we can see this few hundred foot thick cap to the Yellowstone magma reservoir that's over 2 miles deep. I think that says a lot about our ability to see into the Earth.

A seismic survey reveals a magma cap 2.5 miles under Yellowstone, acting as a pressure-release lid and reducing the risk of a super volcano eruption.

The cap allows those bubbles to rise upward before being transferred out of the system. Yellowstone’s iconic hydrothermal features are known to emit gases found within magma, like that below ...

Yellowstone's supervolcano appears to have a magma cap that vents pressure and reduces the chances of a massive eruption happening anytime soon.
