While the model explains the consistent volcanic activity, it can’t predict when the next volcano will emerge. Geoscience team on CSIRO’s RV Investigator vessel. Research author Dr Ben Mather from the University of Sydney is third from right. Credit: Supplied How i...
There are some factors that can cause some warming, like the sun being at its peak in its 11-year cycle, which we're in now; the reduction of the pollutant sulphur dioxide which would typically reflect the sun's radiation; and the Hunga...
What is the difference between converging and diverging waves? What happens to a converging wave after it has converged? Why are there many more craters on the Moon than on Earth? Name three reasons. Why do astronomers hypothesize that a massive black hole lies at the...
in order to kick-start the terraforming process. It’s unclear if he’s behaving like an amped-up Bond villain to irritate his critics, or if he really wants to nuke Mars. Either way, we can do it differently. As it happens, a group of entrepreneurs and former NASA scientists calling ...
The same thing happens at Maui's Haleakala, which last erupted about 250 years ago. Mauna Loa and Kilauea are erupting simultaneously for the first time in decades. How does molten rock travel from deep in Earth's mantle, and what exactly is a mantle plume? Scientists hypothesize that ...
The central pointDoommakes is that we just struggle to imagine the next disaster, because we can't really remember clearly enough what a big war is like, or what a big pandemic is like, and then it happens. And we are kind of stunned. Even though we should have seen it coming, we ...
During a lunar eclipse, the face of the moon will turn a shade of red. The fiery glow is most dramatic during a total lunar eclipse, but even during partial and penumbral lunar eclipses. In addition, perfection is a must: A total lunar eclipse happens only when the sun, Earth and mo...

Ash clouds can also drift great distances from their source. The recent volcanic eruption in Iceland sent a huge plume of ash moving across the Atlantic, disrupting air traffic across Western Europe.Huge ash cloud closes European airportsWhat happens when aircraft encounter ash clouds?
