The frozen continent of Antarctica is, paradoxically, a hotbed of volcanic activity.The ice-capped region is home to some 138 volcanoes nestled beneath the snow, 91 of which were discovered as recently as 2017.Whilst most of them are considered dormant or possibly extinct, three have erupted in recent history according to the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program: Penguin Island in 1905; Deception Island in 1970, and Mount Erebus in 1972.The latter of these is arguably Antarctica’s most famous – winning the titles of tallest active volcano on the continent – with its summit standing at 12,448 feet (3,794 metres) – and...

Northern part of the long Pacific Ocean fault most likely to produce a major earthquake, scientists say. New research offers a clearer picture of a fault line hundreds of kilometres long off the West Coast that is predicted to generate a major earthquake and tsunami commonly known as "The Big One."

Alaska State

LOGAN, Utah — Will another big earthquake strike the Denali fault in Alaska? In 2002, a powerful earthquake along this fault, which runs 1,200 miles across Alaska and Canada, caused significant damage to remote villages and infrastructure in central Alaska. Recently, a team of researchers from Utah State University embarked on a mission to uncover the secrets of this sleeping giant.

While the study's findings are exciting for scientists looking to model glacial collapse more accurately, its underlying message also serves as a warning. A new polar ice study from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder surfaced groundbreaking evidence of, well … the ground breaking.

It is a commonly known fact that our planet is constantly changing either through the movement of tectonic plates or through climate change and several other factors. However, research reveals that a part of the Indian tectonic plate might be splitting into two. Interestingly, the plate is not splitting vertically, separating the two halves sideways. Instead, it might be splitting horizontally or in layers. All of this started 60 million years ago when the Indian plate collided with the Eurasian plate. That led to the formation of the Himalayas, as per Science.

Is it getting ready to rock?

Mount Saint Helens in Washington, which notoriously and cataclysmically erupted in 1980 and had its ash reach Montana, has been showing major signs of constant activity recently, according to the US Geological Survey.

The volcanic elevation, which is 8,363 feet in the air, has experienced about 350 earthquakes since the start of February, with a peak amount of 38 in the first week of June.

We all know people with a ‘sixth sense’ who seem to be just a little more in tune with the world than everyone else. Do you know which zodiac signs they probably are? We can’t be sure, but we’ll share the three signs most likely to have that bonus sense. Having six senses can be a burden and a blessing, and you just may find if you are one of these three signs that some things in your life can be explained by having an extra sense.

3 Zodiac Signs Who Have A Great Sixth Sense

The comet known as Pons-Brooks or the “Devil Comet” will make its closest approach to Earth on Sunday, June 2, 2024. Some have reported seeing part of the comet early today, June 3, 2024. This celestial event occurs only once every 71 years, making it a rare opportunity for astronomers and space enthusiasts to observe the comet. Pons-Brooks is one of the brightest periodic comets in our solar system.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

A recently discovered exoplanet, HD 63433 d, located just 73 light-years away, offers a unique opportunity to study a young world reminiscent of early Earth. This Earth-sized planet orbits a Sun-like star and is less than 500 million years old, making it one of the youngest planets found to date. Its proximity and similarities to Earth make it a valuable target for scientists seeking insights into planetary formation and evolution.

Researchers using global robotic telescopes discovered an Earth-sized planet, SPECULOOS-3 b, orbiting an ultra-cool red dwarf within the Milky Way. This planet, tidally locked and likely lacking an atmosphere due to intense radiation, offers new insights into long-lived red dwarfs, which are anticipated to be among the last stars burning in the universe.

(The Center Square) Volcanoes in Iceland that are about 70 million years old may still be erupting years from now, researchers from the University of Oregon concluded.
                Volcanoes on the country's Reykjanes Peninsula threaten the densely populated country. Local authorities declared a state of emergency in response to the eight series of volcanic eruptions that have happened since 2021, as 70% of the country lives in the southwest region. Plus, the region is home to the country's lone airport and many of its geothermal power...

Two large asteroids are set to safely pass by Earth this week, arriving just before Asteroid Day on June 30, according to a new report from the European Space Agency (ESA). Although neither poses any danger to our planet, one of the asteroids was discovered only a week ago, underscoring the importance of enhancing our ability to detect potentially hazardous objects in the vicinity of our planet.
