Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics theory explains the global distribution of mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean basins and rift valleys on the surface of the Earth. What is the theory of plate tectonics? Plate tectonics theory explains that several plates move on top of the soft mantle. Scienti...

Magnitude four and larger (M4+) earthquakes in volcanic regions are only rarely followed rapidly by volcanic eruptions. In fact, most such earthquakes are caused by normal tectonic activity in the regions hosting the volcanoes. However, quickly determining the cause of any such earthquake is difficu...

When the oceanic crust of the subducting plate reaches a depth of about 150 km it undergoes dehydration reactions that release water that lowers the melting temperature in the mantle wedge; the partial melt migrates to the surface forming island arc volcanoes (Fryer, 1996). The means of ...
The potential of geological disasters in geoparks such as ground movements, floods, earthquakes, and volcanoes (National Agency For Disaster Mitigation of Indonesia, 2021) can't be discounted. However, until today, there is still a lack of awareness of the dangers and a limited understanding of...
thenπjtoπj+1will show a large increase, larger than the increase that would be expected for the addition of one extra volcano. Just monitoringπjalone, it would not be possible to distinguish between, say, three newly-recorded volcanoes with modest eruption rates, and one newly-recorded vol...
earthquakes exhibits a power law behavior that depends on the waiting time rather than on the threshold magnitude. Felzer and Brodsky (2006) analyzed the relocated Southern California catalog between 1984 and 2002 to examine the characteristics of the spatial distribution of aftershocks. They indicated...

Data users include the scientific research community interested in earthquakes, volcanoes, the structure of the Earth's interior and infrasonic signals in the atmosphere, the hazard warning community concerned with the impact of earthqua...
