California flames produce massive cloud that makes wildfires even worse
California’s intense wildfires are generating massive pyrocumulus clouds that bring strong, high winds and dry lightning, potentially stoking the flames that created them. Experts said that the fires are so intense that they’re making their own pyrocumulus cloud systems. The clouds can be seen as wide, spectacular columns of dark gray smoke in the sky.

3D scans show underwater volcano off Oregon coast could explode without notice
Scientists have finished their first 3D scan of an underwater volcano located 300 miles off the coast of Oregon with a base the size of Austin and a main magma reservoir approximately two-thirds of the length of Manhattan. Dubbed Axial Seamount, the “deep-sea magma monster” is the youngest in the Cobb-Eickelberg seamount chain, a 1,120-mile-long line of submarine […]

Ancient rocks provide new clues on how volcanoes caused “biggest mass extinction” ever
Volcanoes could have caused the worst mass extinction on Earth. According to researchers from the University of Cincinnati (UC) and the China University of Geosciences (CUG), the most reliable evidence for this outcome comes from a recent mercury discovery buried in layers of ancient rock. The event, known as the Permian-Triassic (P-T) extinction, took place 252 million years ago and lasted […]

California experienced its most deadly wildfire – known as the Camp fire – earlier this year, killing at least 85 people and leaving a path of mass destruction in its wake as it annihilated more than 11,000 homes. While no caring person who saw photographic or video image of the fires could be left unmoved, […]
