CHILE-SCIENCE-VOLCANOES-GEOLOGY-FILES
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY RICHARD INGHAM- (FILES) A file picture taken on June 5, 2011 shows a cloud of ash billowing from the Puyehue volcano near Osorno in southern Chile, 870 km south of Santiago. Geologists on January 5, 2014 reported insights into super-volcanoes, the brooding, enigmatic giants of Earth's crust whose eruptions are as catastrophic as they are rare. The buoyancy of molten rock, or magma, is the key explanation as to why these monsters blow their stack, according to the report in the journal Nature Geoscience.
