Unable to contact the landowner, Adamy couldn't study the cave in detail during that first encounter. But a preliminary inspection revealed it wasn't the work of any natural geological process. He'd been in other caves nearby, formed by water w
An Edinburgh student has helped identify what may be the largest volcanic region on Earth.
Right on the other side of the biggest lithium volcano in the world is … even more lithium.
The fossil site broadens the scientific record of the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event, a period of low oxygen in shallow ocean waters which is hypothesized to be triggered by massive volcanic eruptions. The Oceanic Anoxic Event was identified at this s
An earthquake swarm that began in Yellowstone on June 12th is still rumbling on.
The data is showing on a recent timespan that the amount of movement is causing STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRAIN in the rock in the area. This is not conspiracy-theorist conjecture or amateur geology antics, this is from the USGS itself. Here's th
Amid a growing 'swarm' of over earthquakes (now over 1000), and Montana's largest quake ever, scientists are growing increasingly concerned that the so-called 'super-volcano' at the heart of Yellowstone National Park could be building towards a Categ

Japanese and German researchers have found evidence that suggests the middle of Earth's mantle holds as much water as the planet's oceans.
That explains all the earthquakes.
Scientists have identified a sudden explosion of mineral diversity on the surface of our planet that would not exist if it weren't for humans, adding weight to the argument that we're living in a new geological epoch - the Anthropocene. A new st
Problem solved: Carolina Bays are shock liquefaction impact features from hypersonic ice boulders launched from the glacial ice sheet by a cosmic impact at the Younger Dryas A. Zamora
. One diamond was found to contain silicate material that formed 2.3 billion years ago in its interior and a 250 million-year-old garnet crystal towards its outer rim, the largest age range ever detected in a single specimen. Analysis of the inclusio
Located 217 miles (350km) below the planet's surface the reservoir is estimated to cover 695,000 sq miles (1.8 million sq km). Following their research, the scientists say that the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's upper mantle could be
A jet stream within the Earth's core has been discovered by researchers using data from ESA's Swarm satellite mission.
Let's look at some volcanic rumblings and eruptions from the last week:
"Life was not only present but thriving in soils of the early Earth about two thirds of the way back to its formation from the solar nebula," Retallack said. The origin of the solar system -- and Earth -- occurred some 4.6 billion years ago.
A powerful earthquake, with a preliminary magnitude of M7.3 on the Richter scale, since reduced to M6.9 by the USGS, struck Japan 156 miles northeast of Tokyo at 5:59am local time.
Nearly 200 small earthquakes -- including three of a magnitude greater than 4 -- struck the Salton Sea area over the last day or so.
CLIMATE CHANGE SHOCK: Ice sheet melt caused by heat from Earth's core NOT global warming
That's pretty fast for a 20-mile thick continent
Analysis of GPS data has revealed new areas of motion around the San Andreas Fault System.
The south is SINKING: Giant chunks of the Earth's mantle are falling off and causing quakes across the southeastern US - and more are coming, warn researchers
Beginning March 14, 2016, a number of small magnitude earthquakes have occurred beneath Mount St. Helens, at a depth between 2 and 7 km (1.2 to 4 miles).
Oktoberfest is awakening It's been 12,900 years since the last eruption. The supervolcano is located under the Laacher See, a caldera lake in the Eifel mountain range, 15 miles from Koblenz and 30 miles from Bonn, the old capital of West Germany.
The gold you see in the photo above was not found in a river or a mine. It was produced by a bacteria that, according to researchers at Michigan State University, can survive in extreme toxic environments and create 24-karat gold nuggets. Pure gold
Of course the things that we have been seeing lately are part of a much larger long-term trend. Seismic activity appears to have been getting stronger over the past few decades, and now things really seem to be accelerating. The following is how on
Models Say There Can't be Ice Greenland's ice sheet has puzzled scientists for many decades, which have led to complete ridiculous, even unscientific theories. Geoscientists who are in the search for a logical and consistent explanation are limite

Aso, one of the more dangerous volcanoes in Japan, had an explosive eruption today. Based on webcam (see above) and news footage of the volcano, Aso produced a large, dark-grey plume of ash and volcanoes gases around 9:45 AM (Japan local time).
