Scientists have discovered that shear forces inside rising magma can create gas bubbles long before pressure drops occur. The intensity of a volcanic eruption is shaped by how many gas bubbles develop ...
Learn how stress inside a volcano can make gas bubbles form early, helping explain why some eruptions stay quiet instead of exploding.
