Researchers who have observed the planet using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in Hawaii, believe there is evidence to suggest alien life may exist on Venus.

The ground deep below the Parkfield section of the fault was found to break frequently and melt the host rocks.

A scientist studying the crater in the remote Yamal peninsula also said it has just a few years to "live."

Researchers found the cave, in the Czech Republic, is over 3,200 feet deep.

Many volcanoes reliably spew out lava consistently for thousands of years.

The National Weather Service issued tsunami Warnings and Advisories for much of the southern Alaskan coast and the Aleutian Islands but these have since been cancelled.

The South Atlantic Anomaly was discovered in the 1950s and appears to be splitting into two patches.

Latest study supports the idea that the asteroid impact 66 million years ago was the main driver of dinosaur extinction, not intense volcanic activity as some have suggested.

The swarm started on June 19 and so far three of the earthquakes have been above magnitude 5.

The earthquake swarm hit the northeast of the country, while increased activity has been identified at Grímsvötn toward the south.

Mount Merapi—whose name means "Mountain of Fire" in Indonesian—is one of the world's most active volcanoes.

The Weishan volcano last erupted 50,000 years ago.

The scientists were able to detect the structure by analyzing seismic wave data.

Researchers had previously found evidence of over 100 craters lining the floor of the Barents Sea.

"It seems clear that something is brewing underneath the heart of northwest Europe," said researcher Corné Kreemer.

Researchers have found the counterclockwise movement is down to the lithosphere, rather than a mantle plume rising from the deep.

The body of water—which is rusty brown in color due to chemical reactions —measures up to 100 feet deep and has an area of roughly five football fields.

"Organic molecules are those that contain chains and rings of carbon atoms linked together—like those used by life," said researcher Atsuko Kobayashi.

Researchers reviewed a group of fossils from an area of the Moroccan Sahara, which includes a host of large dinosaurs, pterosaurs, crocodilians, and other animals.

The map was put together using six regional maps made during the Apollo era, in combination with information collected during recent lunar missions.

People living in Los Angeles who felt the quake took to social media describing their experiences.

According to University of Utah Seismograph Stations the two largest aftershocks reached 4.6 on the moment magnitude scale, occurring at at 8:02 am and 1:12 pm on Wednesday, March 18.

Some experts think that the hole formed as a result of natural processes, while others argue that humans may be partly to blame.

Following the quake, tsunami warnings were issued but these were subsequently retracted.

Scientists have mapped a large body of freshwater that could offer New Zealand a new supply of water.

"Finding these 'lost' pieces is like finding a missing piece of a puzzle. The scientific puzzle of the ancient Earth can't be complete without all of the pieces," said researcher Maya Kopylova.

The Yellow River—the second longest in the country—is sometimes referred to as "China's sorrow" due to its tendency over the centuries to produce devastating floods.

Clues in ancient rock suggest the early Earth did not have continents like we have today, but was covered by an ocean.

"We've been planning this mission and executing for the last 10 years—and the initial results are really exciting," Bruce Banerdt, InSight principal investigator said.

The volcano—located around 85 miles south of Ecuador's capital in the Andes mountains—has been frequently active since 1999.
