Some volcanoes normally have continuing low-level seismic activity, but an increase may signal a greater likelihood of an eruption. The types of earthquakes that occur and where they start and end are also key signs. Volcanic seismicity has three major forms: short-period earthquake, long-period earthquake, and harmonic tremor.
A volcanic eruption is essentially the only natural way for short-lived – less than a few years – gases like sulfur dioxide and water vapor to make it into the stratosphere.
Iceland volcano could erupt like a ‘can of fizzy drink’ Monday 20 November 2023 22:00 , Matt Mathers A volcano close to erupting in Iceland could explode like a “can of fizzy drink,” an ...
Authorities in Iceland fear stormy weather conditions could affect monitoring systems as the country awaits an “imminent” volcanic eruption.. Just 165 small tremors have been recorded in the ...
Residents of a town in Iceland evacuated their homes after a state of emergency was declared over a looming volcanic eruption. A sharp rise in seismic activity prompted authorities to vacate the ...
The Tvashtar volcano erupts a plume 330 km (205 mi) above the surface of Jupiter's moon Io. Earth's Moon has no large volcanoes and no current volcanic activity, although recent evidence suggests it may still possess a partially molten core. [93]
Volcanic eruption could ‘bury’ evacuated town, says geologist 15:32 , Andy Gregory If there is a volcanic eruption, it could bury the town of Grindavik, an Icelandic geologist has said.
These bubbles enlarge as the magma nears the surface due to the dropping pressure, and the magma grows substantially. This fact gives volcanoes erupting such material a tendency to ‘explode’, although instead of the pressure increase associated with an explosion, pressure always decreases in a volcanic eruption. [3]
