It is also called the Circum-Pacific Belt, which is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. It traces boundaries between several tectonic plates including the Pacific, Cocos, Indian-Australian, Nazca, North American, and Philippine Plates. It is ho...
Sakurajima is one of Japan’s most active volcanoes and eruptions of varying levels take place on a regular basis. Previously it erupted in 2019 and spewed ash 5.5 km (3.4 miles) high.Most of the city of Kagoshima is across the bay from the volcano but several residential areas within ...
The Pacific ‘Ring of Fire’ or Pacific rim, or the Circum-Pacific Belt, is an area along the Pacific Ocean that is characterised by active volcanoes and frequent. Along the Ring of Fire, tectonic plates move towards each other creating subduction zones. Along this subduction, rocks melt, be...
Geophysical surveys typically estimate melt fractions <20% in crustal reservoirs beneath active volcanoes9,10, which is significantly lower than the crystallinity of almost all observed erupted products11,12. However, geophysical estimates represent average melt fractions because of the limited spatial reso...
The Ring of Fire is a Pacific region home to over 450 volcanoes, including three of the world’s four most active volcanoes – Mount St. Helens in the USA, Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines. It is also sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt. Around 90% of ...
the LSTM will provide critical information for managing water resources for agricultural production and coastal and inland waters, as well as predicting droughts, addressing land degradation, and tracking natural hazards such as fires and volcanoes. NASA’s plans for the thermal instrument on the SBG...
This narrative review explores the relationship between air pollution and neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). Historically, air pollution has been linked primarily to respiratory and cardiovascular issues, but recent evidence suggests that it may also impa

The muon is one of the charged leptons, and has a mass of 105.7 MeV/c2, approximately 200 times heavier than the electron. Because muons have much higher transmissivity than electrons and X-rays, cosmic-ray muon tomography/radiography has been used to image the interiors of volcanoes1, ...
(Fig.4). Mount Etna is one of the best monitored and most frequently active volcanoes in the world and numerous datasets contain information about its eruptive activity. The large amount of available plume height data in the published record enables a comparison of information in the MESP and ...
