A stunning composite image, made up of three years' worth of satellite photos, shows the ancient lava of Libya's Haruj volcanic field interspersed with patches of golden sand.

Using a nearly 200-year record of lava chemistry from Kīlauea and Maunaloa, Earth scientists from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and colleagues revealed that Hawai'i's two most active volcanoes ...

The findings could impact how we understand the composition of the land we walk on, together with our understanding of volcanic activity and earthquake risk ...

The Greek island has a long history of earthquakes, but what is causing the recent series of quakes has scientists perplexed.

They analysed the chemistry of 3,983 samples collected from mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are spreading apart and magma from the shallow mantle rises and solidifies into volcanic rock ...

When these plumes reach the surface, they result in volcanoes forming, spewing forth lava like they recently have in Hawaii and in Iceland. "We think that those mantle plumes originate at the ...

while mantle plumes fed by LLSVPs bring deep mantle material to Earth's surface at volcanic hotspots. In the latter, the mineral grains are larger than those from subducted plates. This process ...

Using a nearly 200-year record of lava chemistry from Kīlauea and Maunaloa, earth scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and colleagues revealed that Hawaiʻi’s two most active volcanoes ...

“In the past, the distinct chemical compositions of lavas from Kīlauea and Maunaloa were thought to require completely separate magma pathways from the mantle source of each volcano to the ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Hawai'i's Kīlauea and Maunaloa volcanoes share a magma source within the Hawaiian plume, challenging previous beliefs of separate magma pathways. This shared ...
