Hawaii is shaking, with an earthquake striking every few minutes on the Big Island as the Kilauea Volcano there is exhibiting signs of increased unrest. While the volcano is not currently erupting, that could change quickly. According to USGS and the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), a seismic swarm that began...

Hawaii Shakes As Kilauea Volcano Shows More Unrest, With Quakes Striking Every Few Minutes

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...

A significant earthquake swarm is taking place underneath Kīlauea’s upper East Rift Zone since June 27, 2024. The swarm, located beneath the Chain of Craters Road within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, intensified on June 30, with around 30 events per hour. As per the latest update at 11:43...

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."

More than 300 earthquakes have rumbled during the past 24 hours beneath the summit of Kīlauea volcano on the Big Island, mostly below the south caldera region and at depths of 1 to 1.8 miles. The volcano is not erupting, but summit earthquake counts have increased as part of...

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.

Two asteroids, including one large enough to end civilization, will hurtle past our planet this week.Researchers have given the 7,600 foot-long celestial object – the larger of the space rocks – the catchy name (415029) 2011 UL21. It’s nickname is Planet Killer: a title given to asteroids which are at least 6300-foot wide. It will fly past planet Earth at 58,000 miles per hour at approximately 4.14pm ET at a distance more than 17 times further away than the moon. Its size and proximity to the planet has seen Nasa brand it a “potentially hazardous asteroid”. Only those with a...

In a discovery that’s shaking up our understanding of ancient life, scientists have unearthed incredibly well-preserved trilobite fossils in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Due to their remarkable preservation in volcanic ash, scientists are calling them “Pompeii” trilobites, drawing parallels to the Roman city buried by Mount Vesuvius....

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.
