Mag-ma

There is a fascinating graphic to accompany the Oregonian article "Scientists say Yellowstone lava plume may have triggered Oregon basalt flows."

What I find fascinating about it is the three-dimensional representation of a vast region of molten rock (also known as mag-ma). It's incredible what one can see with the right kind of eyes!

What could they possibly think of next?
