This Week in Volcano News – Yellowstone Earthquake, Unrest at Andes Supervolcano

In the last week, there was significant seismic activity at a supervolcano. One of these supervolcanoes has an ongoing intrusion of magma at 3 miles or 5 kilometers depth in Chile and could produce an eruption in the next several months. Also, in Yellowstone National Park, a magnitude 4.2 quake occurred which led some people to speculate that it was … Continue reading

Plumes From Earth’s Mantle Could Cause Supervolcano Eruptions, Continental Breakdown

“This instability can have a lot of implications for the surface tectonics, and also earthquakes and supervolcanic eruptions…” by Andrei Dergalin via Sputniknews Image: CC BY-SA 2.0 / Argonne National Laboratory / Composition of Earth’s mantle The new research suggests that the two large low-shear-velocity provinces, located beneath Africa and the Pacific respectively, differ in how close to the surface … Continue reading

New maps from the Department of Natural Resources show the potential flooding impact from a tsunami caused by a 9.0 earthquake along the Cascadia subduction zone.
Geologists Map 9.0 Magnitude Quake’s Impact on the Cascadia Subduction Zone

“Community members are encouraged to have at least 30 days of supplies as it may take days or weeks before help can access you and your home after a large earthquake.” by Matthew Nash via Sequim Gazette Image Caption: New maps from the Department of Natural Resources show the potential flooding impact from a tsunami caused by a 9.0 earthquake … Continue reading

Earth’s Core is in a Weird Superionic State: ‘Quite Abnormal’

“The latest findings could have implications for our understanding of processes that relate to Earth’s core. These include volcanism, earthquakes and Earth’s magnetic field, the authors said.” BY ORLANDO JENKINSON via Newsweek Image Caption/Credit: Stock image shows artist’s 3D render of a cross section of the Earth.

Geologists ‘Closely Monitoring’ Rising Magma Under Oregon Volcanic Region

“We believe that the magma is rising about four miles below the surface. And, and so associated with that, a lot of times you’ll have very small earthquakes,” Burns said. “In December and in January, we had a series of very small earthquakes, showing that there is some movement of magma. The question is, what type of magma is it … Continue reading

Earth is Spinning Faster Now than it Was 50 Years Ago

“But in the past decade or so, Earth’s rotational slowdown has … well, slowed down. There hasn’t been a leap second added since 2016, and our planet is currently spinning faster than it has in half a century. Scientists aren’t sure why.” by Kate Golembiewski via Astronomy.com Image Credit: © janez volmajer/Shutterstock Ever feel like there’s just not enough time … Continue reading

Why No One is Freaking Out About the Looming Massive Earthquake Threat in the Pacific Northwest

“When it comes again, the earthquake will be magnitude 8.0 or higher, which means the ground will warp and shudder for at least two minutes. That would be considered “the Big One.” However, it’s possible for the entire Cascadia Zone to rupture, turning this earthquake into a disaster movie-level catastrophe.” by Manasee Wagh via Popular Mechanics For many people, natural … Continue reading

Earth’s Interior is Cooling Faster than Expected

“Our results could give us a new perspective on the evolution of the Earth’s dynamics. They suggest that Earth, like the other rocky planets Mercury and Mars, is cooling and becoming inactive much faster than expected,” By Peter Rüegg via Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich Researchers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated in the lab how well a mineral common at the … Continue reading

The End is Nigh? Sixth Mass Extinction on Earth Underway, Study Warns

“The scientists suggested that the sixth mass extinction crisis is underway as our planet is being ravaged by floods and rising sea levels due to human pollution.” by Oleg Burunov via Sputniknews Last year, scientists claimed in a study that at least 500 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians had already been pushed to the brink of extinction due … Continue reading
