“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is ...

The study reveals that while Deccan Volcanism caused significant disasters for fauna, its effects on flora were only ...

A groundbreaking study by the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP), an autonomous institute under the Department ...

Melting ice sheets are often considered synonymous with climate change in the media, with evocative images of lone polar ...

Venus and Earth, although they've taken two dramatically different climatic roads, are considered sibling planets. They're ...

New research suggests that the Moon is significantly older than previously thought, with volcanic activity masking its true ...

Beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet is a network of over a hundred volcanoes, located on an active volcanic fissure.

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 ...

But almost simultaneously, intense volcanism covered a vast area of the Indian subcontinent with over 2 kilometers-thick lava flows. Scientists have long debated if the impact or the volcanic ...

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 ...

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.

Deccan Volcanism, a major event of volcanic eruptions which occurred ~66 million years ago and led to mass extinctions of fauna, did not have such negative impact on tropical flora, says a new study.R ...
