Swarm of 130 Earthquakes Rattles One of Iceland's Largest Volcanoes, Signal Possible Eruption Risk
- Friday January 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Over 130 earthquakes struck Iceland’s Bárðarbunga volcano within hours on January 14, including a significant 5.1 magnitude quake. The Bárðarbunga system, Iceland's largest volcanic zone, has a history of major eruptions, with the 2014–2015 event producing a lava field larger than Manhattan. Experts at the Icelandic Meteorological Office ar...

Antarctic Ice Sheet Melting May Intensify Volcanic Eruptions, Study Finds
- Tuesday January 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The melting of Antarctic ice sheets is linked to more intense and frequent volcanic eruptions, as found by recent research. Reduced ice mass alleviates pressure on magma chambers beneath the surface, causing them to expand and release volatile gases, which can lead to eruptions. A study has drawn connections between this process and increased volca...

Antarctica’s Melting Ice Could Awaken Hidden Volcanoes, Impact Climate Change
- Wednesday January 8, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
As Antarctica’s ice sheet continues to melt, scientists warn it could awaken over 100 hidden volcanoes beneath the surface. The loss of ice reduces pressure on magma chambers, allowing the magma to expand and potentially trigger eruptions. This could lead to increased volcanic activity, releasing gases and heat that may accelerate ice melt, weake...

Volcanic Activity in Yellowstone Is Shifting in the Northeast Direction, Study Finds
- Friday January 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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...

Chang'e-6 Mission Reveals Significant Reinforcement of Lunar Dynamo
- Monday December 23, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The Chang'e-6 mission has provided crucial insights into the lunar dynamo’s evolution, revealing a surprising magnetic field strength of 5 to 21 microteslas (µT) around 2.8 billion years ago. This challenges previous assumptions that the lunar dynamo weakened after 3 billion years ago. The findings suggest that mechanisms such as a basal magma o...

Jupiter’s Moon Io Shows No Magma Ocean as New Findings Explain Volcanic Eruptions
- Saturday December 14, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's latest findings indicate that Jupiter's volcanic moon Io does not have a global magma ocean beneath its surface, debunking previous theories. This conclusion comes from analysis of data from NASA's Juno spacecraft and archival observations from the Galileo mission. The study suggests that Io's interior is more solid than expected, with volca...

Indian Ocean Gravity Hole Might Have Been Formed After the Death of an Ancient Ocean
- Tuesday November 26, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A vast anomaly in the Indian Ocean, called the gravity hole, has been studied for decades due to its weak gravitational pull and significantly lower sea levels. Recent findings link its origins to the ancient Tethys Ocean and mantle changes caused by tectonic plate shifts. Researchers used advanced models to simulate the geological processes, revea...

Scientists Identify Seismic Trigger Before 2022 Tonga Eruption; Insight Could Improve Tsunami Warnings
- Wednesday November 6, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A seismic wave recorded 15 minutes before the massive 2022 Tonga eruption could help scientists improve early-warning systems for remote oceanic volcanoes and mitigate tsunami risks. Researchers found that a rupture beneath the volcano’s caldera allowed seawater to mix with magma, triggering the eruption. This discovery may provide critical lead-...
