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.

Lava caused the night sky to glow orange over part of Hawaii early Monday morning as the Kilauea volcano erupted. Over 90 earthquakes have also been reported. Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted to life early Monday morning with lava oozing out of the ground and causing the sky to glow eerily orange.

A heavily populated area may experience compounding effects of shaking. A recent study published in Nature Communications reveals that a massive earthquake 2,500 years ago dramatically shifted the course of one of the world’s largest rivers. This previously undocumented seismic event rerouted the main channel of the Ganges River into present-day, densely populated Bangladesh, an area that continues to be at high risk for significant earthquakes.

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...

(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...

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.

An asteroid will whiz harmlessly past Earth this weekend. With the right equipment and timing, you just might spot it. Called 2024 MK, the space rock will make its closest approach to Earth Saturday morning, passing by at about three-quarters the distance from Earth to the moon. It was first spotted two weeks ago by a South African observatory and is about 393 feet to 853 feet (120 meters to 260 meters) wide.
