Scientists Identify Seismic Trigger Before 2022 Tonga Eruption; Insight Could Improve Tsunami Warnings
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-...
