Underwater volcanoes are powerful geological forces shaping our planet and oceans. These hidden giants form through tectonic ...

Some scientists think we can better understand volcanoes by learning how the gaseous vortexes emerge. By Carolyn Wilke Some volcanoes perform a rather subtle trick: blowing rings of vapor that waft ...

Researchers discovered that continents don’t just split at the surface—they also peel from below, feeding volcanic activity in the oceans. Simulations reveal that slow mantle waves strip continental ...

Some volcanoes, such as the Cascade volcanoes up in Washington and Oregon, are of the type called a stratovolcano. These steep volcanoes sometimes erupt explosively and other times have calmer lava ...

Earth scientists have discovered how continents are slowly peeled from beneath, fueling volcanic activity in an unexpected ...

Pulvirenti’s model explains why smoke rings aren’t seen at every volcano all the time, since the rings require such precise conditions to form. Even when these conditions are met, however, smoke rings ...

A “fascinating” eruption is approaching as a sleeping giant underwater volcano stirs with seismic activity near America’s west coast. The seismic activity of Axial Seamount, a submerged volcano ...
