美国和中国科学家发现黄石岩向东流,挑战垂直浮雾理论. Chinese and US scientists find Yellowstone magma flows eastward, challenging vertical plume theory.

黄石超级火山的岩系统是由一个倾斜,东向流动热地幔岩而不是垂直羽毛驱使. A new study published in Science suggests the Yellowstone supervolcano's magma system is driven by a slanted, eastward flow of hot mantle rock rather than a vertical plume. 美国科学家领导的这项研究表明, 一个古老的构造板块在美国东部下方沉没后, 将热物质拉向东面, The research, led by Chinese and American scientists, indicates a remnant of an ancient tectonic plate sinking beneath the eastern U.S. pulls hot material eastward, creating pressure that forces magma through a narrow gap in the crust. 这一发现挑战了垂直羽毛理论, 也许可以解释全球其他主要火山的形成. This finding challenges the vertical plume theory and may explain the formation of other major volcanoes worldwide.
