Seismic activity at the Kilauea volcano inside Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park continues, with 500 earthquakes occurring over the weekend. However, geologists say the volcano is not erupting.

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...

NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above the Earth but, don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that aliens are about to strike.Using an imaging instrument called the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts uncovered strange X and C shapes, which have been cropping up in surprising places at surprising times.The researchers found the structures dancing around the ionosphere – the area where Earth’s atmosphere meets space – and say that the discovery could help improve radio communications and space weather forecasts.The ionosphere – which sits around 50 to 400 miles (roughly 80 to 644 kilometres)...

(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...

A study conducted by UC Santa Barbara reveals additional evidence supporting the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, indicating hints of a large airburst event in the eastern United States some 12 800 years ago. New data from the University of California, Santa Barbara strengthens the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH), which...

There are certain zodiac signs that most people are careful with because of their fiery and low tolerance levels. You can hardly mess with individuals with such signs without getting a backlash. Whether they are in work environments or family settings, they do not hesitate to set boundaries and protect them.

Seas might seem endless but they have waterfalls, rivers, and gigantic blobs for long stretches beneath them which often go undetected. Scientists have found a massive blob in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean which stretches from the tip of Brazil to the Gulf of Guinea, near West Africa, reported Live Science. It is a water mass that has been discovered for the first time in the Atlantic. The researchers published this discovery in the journal, "Geophysical Research Letters" on October 28, 2023.

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."

As bristling with volcanoes as a porcupine with quills,  Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar System. At any given time, around 150 of the 400 or so active volcanoes on Io are erupting. It's constantly spewing out lava and gas; a veritable factory of volcanic excretions.
