Uturuncu Fastest Growing Supervolcano, May Be The Most Dangerous

Uturuncu Fastest Growing Supervolcano, May Be The Most Dangerous: "Supervolcanoes are one of nature's most destructive forces. In a matter of hours, an eruption from a supervolcano can force thousands of cubic meters of molten rock above ground, and scar landscapes with massive calderas and craters. These catastrophic eruptions have a global impact, and yet scientists still do not fully understand them. Today, a team of scientists studying Bolivia's Uturuncu volcano is trying to shed some light on how supervolcanoes can become so powerful."
