High 3 He/ 4 He ratios of the main pulse of the eruption are often seen in magmas with mantle plume origin. [31] The area of long-term eruption (the hotspot), known as the Réunion hotspot, is suspected of both causing the Deccan Traps eruption and opening the rift that separated the Mascarene Plateau from India.
Based on argon-argon dating of samples from Barren Island, it is now established that the oldest subaerial lava flows of the volcano are 1.6 million years old and the volcano is located on an oceanic crust which is roughly 106 million years old. [18] All recorded eruptions lie on the low end of the Volcanic Explosivity Index. The 2017 eruption ...
Take Iceland, for example. With the region facing numerous eruptions from a volcano since the end of 2023, dramatic photos and video show lava shooting from a long fissure that opened up.
The volcanic island of Anak Krakatau in Indonesia saw an eruption on 22 December 2018 which caused a deadly tsunami, with waves surging up to five meters in height. The tsunami killed at least 437 ...
The volcanic eruption series at the Sundhnúksgígar crater chain began on 18 December 2023, with an initial eruption that lasted for three days. This eruption was preceded by land uplift in the Svartsengi area, which subsequently deflated upon eruption, indicating the accumulation of magma at a depth of 4–5 km (2.5–3 mi) beneath Svartsengi.
