Volcanoes can behave in strikingly different ways, even when they appear nearly identical. Some release slow, steady lava flows. Others erupt violently, sending ash and molten rock high into the sky.

Ethiopian volcano eruption: On Sunday, November 23, 2025, Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano erupted for the first time in over 10,000 years, leaving scientists and locals stunned. The eruption sent ...

Researchers analyzed satellite imagery of the volcanic plume and found evidence that the potent greenhouse gas had broken down. The work could inform artificial interventions aiming to mitigate global ...

Mud volcanoes are often pictured as dramatic geological phenomena featuring the sudden eruption of large volumes of fiery mud ...

Volcanic processes encompass the generation of magma in the mantle, its ascent through the crust and the eventual release of gas, liquid and solid phases at the surface. Magma forms when mantle ...

Volcanic eruptions result from the ascent of magma from subsurface reservoirs to the Earth’s surface, where variations in pressure and volatile content determine whether eruptions are effusive or ...

Currently, scientists struggle to forecast volcano eruption events, as no universally reliable, real-time eruption forecasting framework is available. Instead, researchers often rely on retrospective ...

Volcanoes are some of the most powerful natural forces on Earth, capable of reshaping entire regions in a matter of hours.Their true impact is typically measured by the communities they effect.

Around 350,000 years ago, the centre of New Zealand's North Island looked nothing like the mountainous, scrub-covered ...
