According to new research, an underground ‘conveyor belt’ of magma pushed over the Earth’s surface for millions of years was responsible for the longest eruption of supervolcans found on Earth, according to new research. Researchers say that due to changes in the seabed, channels were formed through which magma could …

An unusually large and powerful eruption of an ice-covered gravitational volcano on Iceland in 2011 sent 20 kilometers of ash into the atmosphere, canceling about 900 passenger flights. In comparison, about 100,000 flights were canceled in 2010 due to very small explosions in Izzafallajukul. Understandably, any mention of another volcanic …

Eventually it made it all the way to Australia, and then embarked on a new project: revitalizing the world’s largest (and highly endangered) coral reef system. This unlikely …
