Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: a volcano scientist who does her work in the middle of the Pacific Ocean—at the ...

Ancient eruptions may have triggered conditions for oxygen ‘whiffs’ in the atmosphere In a nutshell Massive volcanic events ...

In 2019, researchers spotted what they believed to be a 'petit-spot volcano' on the Pacific plate. These 'petit-spot' volcanoes are young phenomena that come into being due to fissures occurring ...

Located about 300 miles off the Oregon coast in the US, this mammoth volcano is over a mile long, stands 1,000 meters tall and lies less than a mile beneath the Pacific Ocean's surface.

Earth’s climate over millions of years is shaped by both internal forces, like volcanic activity, and external ones, such as ...

It is widely believed that Earth's atmosphere has been rich in oxygen for about 2.5 billion years due to a relatively rapid ...

Scientists found that volcanic eruptions triggered short-lived oxygen spikes before Earth's air became breathable.

"Ocean volcanoes, when they are unstable, can collapse catastrophically and generate a tsunami," said Christelle Wauthier, associate professor of geosciences at Penn State and co-author of the study.

The volcanoes that form where tectonic plates are pulling apart are now seen at midocean ridges, which are places under the ocean where two pieces of crust move away from each other. Two major ...

The letter did not say. Along with carbon dioxide, these volcanoes and the 40,000-miles of mid-ocean mountain ridges pump enormous amounts of heat into the ocean; we don’t have a good handle on ...

Scientists discovered that volcanic eruptions in India’s Deccan Traps 66 million years ago released gases that altered ...
