For most of deep time, spreading ridges released more carbon than volcano chains, changing how we interpret Earth’s climate history.
LISBON, April 6 (Reuters) - Volcano-tectonic tremors, which indicate the movement of magma, were recorded on the earthquake-hit mid-Atlantic Azores island of Sao Jorge for the first time since a ...
Volcanic eruptions frequently interfere with human affairs; impacts range from minor nuisances to major disasters. Some 50 to 65 different volcanoes typically are active in any given year, and among ...
A seamount sitting on a subducting tectonic plate off the coast of Japan and plowing its way into Earth's mantle may be at the root of several magnitude 7 earthquakes in the past 40 years. When you ...
A convergence of volcanic eruptions, seismic clustering research, and overdue fault lines has scientists paying closer attention to the Pacific Ring of Fire than at any point in recent memory. The ...
New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously ...
Researchers have identified 138 candidate subglacial volcanoes hidden beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, 91 of which had ...
Scientists have long wondered how volcanoes formed in central Anatolia despite being far from tectonic plate borders—now they've found evidence of a hot plume of magma flowing from East Africa. Riders ...
Deep below the Earth's surface, magma is churning and flowing into the Axial Seamount, an underwater shield volcano about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon. As the volcano grows and tremors increase, ...
Natural disasters, from wildfires, floods and mudslides in western states to large earthquakes in Japan, have rocked, burned and flooded parts of the world in the first months of 2025. What’s next?
