A common method is to devise a classification of volcanoes based on historical records: if a given type of volcano erupts more frequently after earthquakes, then it is considered more sensitive8,9,16,17. Unfortunately, the limited number of recorded events precludes statistically significant correlati...

Even if eruptions of similar characteristics may occur at different volcanoes it is not necessarily true that unrest episodes preceding them have to be also similar (e.g., El Hierro 2011–2012 and La Palma 2021 eruptions in the Canary Islands). When establishing the background level for a ...
Repeating earthquakes, or repeaters, affecting overlapping rupture patches with a similar focal mechanism, have important implications to track fault slip rates, aseismic deformation, slow earthquakes and earthquake nucleation processes. They are often d
Earthquakes occur when rocks beneath the ground abruptly move positions. This sudden motion makes the ground shake, sometimes with great violence. Although harboring destructive potential, earthquakes are one of the essential geological processes contributing to the formation of mountains. ...
Landslides, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and floods are an ongoing feature of human existence.
