Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An aerial view of the Crater Lake Caldera in Oregon. Obviously, visible lava spewing from a volcano’s caldera, like Hawai’i’s ...

Researchers have identified 138 candidate subglacial volcanoes hidden beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, 91 of which had never been recognized before, raising serious questions about what happens ...

Pre-, post-, and coeruptive datasets. (A and B) Marine gravity anomaly derived from satellite altimetry [V31.1 and V32.1, respectively]. Subaerial island outlines in gray. (C) Change in marine gravity ...

The project, which would be a scientific first if successful, would see boreholes drilled about 1.3 miles down through the earth’s crust at a volcano known as Krafla, located in the northeast of ...

Almost two years after a humongous eruption rocked Tonga's Hunga volcano in the southwest Pacific Ocean, scientists have finally mapped the huge magma plumbing system that gave birth to the ...

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, ...

Scientists in Iceland have come up with an ambitious plan to drill into a volcano's magma chamber to source an abundant amount of clean, super-hot geothermal energy. The project, which would be a ...

When referred to as a gas, it means a volatile has transitioned into the vapor phase. The most common gases (or vapor phase volatiles) emitted at the surface are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ...

In A Nutshell Mars was erupting while T. rex roamed Earth: A Martian volcano system was active between 64 and 50 million years ago, overlapping with the age of dinosaurs and early mammals on our ...

Researchers have mapped the magma plumbing system beneath Tonga's underwater volcano and discovered three magma chambers, two of which fed the record-shattering 2022 eruption. When you purchase ...

In volcanoes, fluid inclusions are dominantly composed of CO 2. At magmatic temperatures (1200˚ C or 2192˚ F), the density of the CO 2 strongly depends on pressure, which is influenced by the depth of ...
