Towada volcano is a collapsed large stratovolcano with a 11 km wide dramatic caldera in northern Honshu, Japan. The caldera is occupied by Lake Towada, Japan's largest caldera lake. The caldera formed during repeated collapse during 6 major eruptions between 53,000 and 13,000 years ago. A ...
Massive volcanic eruptions did not cause the extinction of dinosaurs, say climate scientists Massive volcanic eruptions on the Indian peninsula have long been proposed as an alternative cause for the demise of the dinosaurs. This phase of active volcanism took place in a period just before Earth wa...
Volcanology is the study of the generation and movement of molten rock on Earth and other planetary bodies, primarily through volcanoes and volcanic eruptions. This encompasses the generation of magma, its geochemistry and movement through the Earth’s crust, the physics of volcanic eruptions and haz...
"The previous eruptions didn't produce much in terms of SO2 (sulfur dioxide) emissions which could be observed and assimilated in our system," CAMS senior scientist Mark Parrington said. "The amount of SO2 emitted this time has been very clear in the observations and we are closely monitoring...
Scientists had been monitoring the inflation in the area for months following a series of eruptions in recent years, Dr Reeves said. "Clearly, there was a critical point where this inflation was so much and the magma eventually made its way to the surface, ...
This area of Iceland hadn’t had any eruptions for 800 years. But in 2021 the Fagradalsfjall volcano, about five miles from Grindavik, burst into life. Two more eruptions followed, the most recent this summer. We hovered just a few metres over the craters, where recently molten ...
