supervolcano

The Taupō volcano last erupted in the year 232, in what was the biggest and most violent eruption on Earth in the past 5,000 years.

On the country's state television, a retired Russian naval officer suggested that Russia could trigger Yellowstone to erupt using a nuclear bomb.

The last eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano was about 70,000 years ago; no one knows for sure when the sleeping giant will next wake up.

Yellowstone National Park sits atop a giant supervolcano that has experienced three giant eruptions in the past two million years or so.

The incident comes just one week after Stromboli in Italy and Semeru in Indonesia erupted on the same day, and two weeks after Hawaii's Mauna Loa eruption.

The temple is "unique," an underwater archaeologist told Newsweek, the only known Nabatean temple in the Roman Empire found outside of the Nabatean territories themselves.

It is thought earthquake swarms relate to fluids moving through the crust beneath the surface, Jamie Farrell, from the University of Utah, told Newsweek.

Volcanic unrest at Lake Taupō in New Zealand could continue for months without any real eruption but could cause landslides, mudflows and ground subsidence.

The lakebed of Lake Taupō, which sits in the caldera of a supervolcano, is shifting in various places due to the volcano's magma.

The magnitude 3.6 quake comes as scientists analyze long-term unrest at one of the world's most populated active volcanoes.

Researchers have created a map of the subsurface features that help the movement of hot and cold water.

You also can't stop an eruption by cooling magma with cold water.

Scientists studying the formation of Sierra Nevada say volcanic eruptions between 40 and 20 million years ago made the Great Basin the highest point in the U.S.

Volcanologist Colin Wilson says the findings "change the way we think about the massive Yellowstone explosions."

Scientists say this is the best-recorded earthquake swarm to hit Yellowstone and the team is now analyzing the data from it.

The eruption was so big it covered an area the size of New Jersey in volcanic glass.

Researchers say the intrusion may explain the increased number of explosions at the Steamboat Geyser.

Discovery at an archaeology site in India gives clues to human migration across east Asia and into Australia.

Some 500,000 people live in Campi Flegrei's "red zone." Researchers say the government's emergency plan should acknowledge the possibility of tsunamis if an eruption occurs.

The volcano famously experienced the largest caldera-forming eruption Europe has seen in the past 200,000 years.

The earthquake swarm at the western part of the national park lasted for three and a half months.

Scientists analyzing volcanic samples in Italy find similar conditions preceded eruptions over the last 60,000 years.

Boiling water, steam, mud and rock can be spewed up to 1.2 miles into the air.

Climate change is causing wildfires in Yellowstone National Park to get bigger and burn for longer, a report has warned.

Scientists think a supervolcano eruption is unlikely, but smaller explosions are possible.

"When you're pulling the crust apart and you're pumping it full of magma, you'd expect that it would probably fail on shorter timescales."

Scientists think they've found the magma behind the volcano's incredible eruptions.

Just one microscopic piece of volcanic glass was key to the discovery.

"Man, the changes would be so much bigger than anything we've ever seen."

The global events happen way more often than scientists thought.
