WASHINGTON — Yellowstone National Park, once the site of a giant volcano, has begun swelling up, possibly because molten rock is accumulating beneath the surface, scientists report.

Yellowstone’s magma chamber is mostly made of a light-colored rock called rhyolite. It spreads out over an area roughly 55 miles long and 30 miles wide and reaches down to a depth of about 10 miles.

A high-silica type of igneous rock called rhyolite makes up Yellowstone’s magma chamber, which spans an area 55 miles by 30 miles, dropping to a depth of 10 miles below the surface.
