Volcanic Activity in Yellowstone Is Shifting in the Northeast Direction, Study Finds
Recent findings reveal that volcanic activity within Yellowstone Caldera is shifting northeast. Using magnetotelluric surveys, geologists from the US Geological Survey, Oregon State University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison identified several magma reservoirs at depths of 4 to 47 kilometers. The study found that the northeast region holds...

Colossal Meteorite Impact 3 Billion Years Ago May Have Boosted Early Life on Earth
Around 3.26 billion years ago, a giant meteorite, 200 times larger than the one that killed the dinosaurs, struck Earth. This impact stirred up nutrients from the ocean floor, like phosphorus and iron, that may have given early microbes a much-needed boost. While the event was likely catastrophic for some life forms, it also created opportunities f...

Study Reveals Ultra-Low Velocity Zones May Be More Common in Earth's Mantle Than Previously Thought
A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii...
