Li said the new findings reveal over 1 billion years of volcanic eruptions on the lunar far side. One piece of volcanic rock dated back 4.2 billion years.
This is a list of volcanic eruptions in the 21st century with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 4 or higher, and smaller eruptions that resulted in fatalities, significant damage or disruptions. The largest volcanic eruption of the 21st century is the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption and tsunami , and the deadliest are the 2018 ...
This eruption was the largest in at least 1,300 years (after the hypothesized eruption causing the volcanic winter of 536); its effect on the climate may have been exacerbated by the 1814 eruption of Mayon in the Philippines. The significant amount of volcanic ash and gases released into the atmosphere blocked sunlight, leading to global cooling.
This is a list of notable volcanic eruptions in the 16th to 20th centuries with a Volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 4 or higher, and smaller eruptions that resulted in significant damage or fatalities. Note that there may be uncertainties to dates with historical eruptions, and there are likely to be many large eruptions that have not been ...
The most powerful volcanic eruption observed on Io was an "outburst" eruption at Surt, observed by Earth-based astronomers on February 22, 2001. [51] Explosion-dominated eruptions occur when a body of magma (called a dike) from deep within Io's partially molten mantle reaches the surface at a fissure.
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 ...
NASA determined that the eruption was "hundreds of times more powerful" than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. [14] The eruption was the largest explosion recorded in the atmosphere by modern instrumentation, far larger than any 20th-century volcanic event or nuclear bomb test.
Satellite footage shows the Popocatepetl volcano “belching” gases and ash as it was placed under a yellow alert on Friday, 17 November. The alert continued into Monday, with the National ...
