Explained in plain English

How are supervolcanoes formed?

Supervolcanoes, like the one found under England's east coast, form when magma rises from deep within the Earth but gets trapped beneath the surface. This creates immense pressure, building up a huge reservoir of molten rock. Eventually, the pressure becomes too great, leading to a colossal eruption that expels vast amounts of ash and rock.
