La Soufriѐre volcano has been generating dangerous pyroclastic flows that can reach temperatures of more than 1,000 F.

The explosive volcanic eruption on Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was the culmination of a significant uptick in seismic activity that began on Thursday.

An ongoing effusive eruption has been taking place at the volcano on the Caribbean island since December, 2020.

This is the first eruption in the area where the volcano is located for nearly 800 years.

Kīlauea is the youngest and most active volcano on the Island of Hawai'i.

Scientists are investigating the possibility the weight of the ancient lake may have caused more frequent, large ruptures on the fault.

Whether or not the "Resurrection plate" ever existed has long been a hot topic of debate in the field of geology.

In total, the lake contains around 125 million gallons of water and is gradually growing larger by the day.

Amazed eyewitnesses managed to capture footage of the fireball as it blazed through the Earth's atmosphere.

Scientists warn that an unstable mountain slope above Barry Arm could collapse, triggering a massive landslide.

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.
