Lava planets don’t play by the rules of our solar system. These scorching-hot worlds, some no bigger than Earth, orbit so ...

Glacial retreat caused a wave of volcanic activity in southern Chile as the last Ice Age came to an end, according to new research.

Melting glaciers could make volcanic eruptions more explosive and frequent, worsening climate change in the process, scientists have warned.Hundreds of volcanoes in Antarctica, Russia, New Zealand, ...

Once magma chambers become unstable, they could continue erupting periodically for thousands of years, continually melting ice. Moreover, rising carbon dioxide levels intensify this feedback loop.

The authors anticipate around 3 million cubic meters of ice (100 million cubic feet) melting as a result of the additional heat released by a single typical magma chamber.

Melting glaciers could make volcanic eruptions more explosive, scientists warn Parts of North America, New Zealand, and Russia also warrant close attention, scientists say Vishwam Sankaran ...

Because Mýrdalsjökull rests above the country's Katla volcano, they theorized that as its glaciers melt, pressure on the volcano's magma chambers decreases, making it easier for eruptions to occur.

The Pacific Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped belt of volcanoes known for explosive eruptions and intense earthquakes.

Previous studies have suggested the partial melt fraction was between 5% and 15%, Maguire said. The Yellowstone magma reservoir is not so much "a big tank of magma," with accumulation all in one ...

A team of scientists has observed past episodic intraplate magmatism and corroborated the existence of a partial melt channel at the base of the Cocos Plate. Situated 60 kilometers beneath the ...
