Hidden Magma Found Under Tuscany | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scientists just uncovered a colossal magma reservoir hidden 8 to 15 kilometers beneath Tuscany, Italy—six thousand cubic kilometers of molten rock, undetected until now. Using ambient noise tomography, researchers mapped underground by listening to Earth’s natural vibrations, revealing where seismic waves slow down. While it could theoretically link to supervolcanoes over millions of years, there’s no immediate danger. The discovery also opens doors for finding geothermal energy and critical minerals like lithium, accelerating the clean energy transition.
