The resulting tidal forces heated up its interior and thus powered the violent volcanism. Only Jupiter's moon Io, by far the most volcanically active body in the solar system, offers comparable ...

Intraplate volcanism, or volcanism occurring away from plate boundaries, can provide clues about which areas of the MTZ are ...

According to the volcanism hypothesis, this global-scale volcanic activity spewed so much gas, ash, and dust into the atmosphere that it kept sunlight from reaching Earth's surface. Temperature ...

Yellowstone volcanism has produced some of the youngest rocks in North America. This same region also features some of the ...

Using NASA's Perseverance rover to analyze Martian rocks, researchers suggest that Mars' complex volcanism might hold clues ...

Most volcanism on Earth occurs beneath the oceans, but submarine volcanoes are difficult to study. Advances in seafloor monitoring have opened up an unprecedented view of eruptions on the seabed.

Its surface tells a story of volcanism that began roughly 2.5 million years ago, but recent findings show that the tale goes much deeper—both in time and geology. Scientists studying grains of ...
