When volcanoes erupt, silica-rich magma can burst through the Earth's crust, burning the surrounding area in a massive explosion. Now, it turns out that this magma can lurk in Earth's upper crust for hundreds of thousands of years without triggering an eruption, which means that current magma reservoirs may not necessarily indicate that there will be an eruptive event in the near future.
