However, volcanoes sometimes erupt in the middle of tectonic plates. The sources of these hotspots might be mantle plumes, mushroom-shaped pillars of hot rock ascending from the deep mantle to sear overlying material like a blowtorch. As tectonic plates wander over such plumes, geologists think ...
Turns out Venus is even more of a hellscape than we imagined. The planet may be chock full of active volcanoes.
These small volcanoes usually have a circular footprint, and their flanks usually slope at an angle of about 30 to 40 degrees. Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the top. Cinder cones are found in many parts of the world. Countries that have many cinder cones include: Australi...
How do volcanoes form at convergent boundaries? What are the major mountain ranges in North America? What makes up the highlands of Appalachian Mountains? Why are earthquakes so common in the Andes Mountains? How does geology affect the formati...

But when exactly does the Atlantic hurricane season of 2024 start, and how long does it last? And how do hurricanes form? What can people do to prepare in the face of the most dangerous storms onEarth? The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to bring a record-breaking number of ...
A tsunami, as mentioned above, is caused by earth quakes, volcanoes or land slides. A tidal wave, as the name suggests, is caused by tidal movement. Therefore, the two are different, although both do produce high waves and can do considerable damage. When an earthquake happens, for ...

"It does get erect during copulation, but the sperm travels along its surface to reach the cloaca of the female." How do male birds fertilize eggs? During mating seasons, the cloacal openings of both male and female birds swell and stick out from their bodies. During copulation, they rub...
