Old moon, young crust: Violent volcanism may mean the moon is much older than previously thought
The resulting tidal forces heated up its interior and thus powered the violent volcanism. Only Jupiter's moon Io, by far the most volcanically active body in the solar system, offers comparable ...

What Killed the Dinosaurs?
According to the volcanism hypothesis, this global-scale volcanic activity spewed so much gas, ash, and dust into the atmosphere that it kept sunlight from reaching Earth's surface. Temperature ...

A review of the applications of mercury stable isotopes for tracing volcanism in geologic events
The differences in global or local volcanism, submarine or subaerial volcanism, the distance from volcanism, the volcanic eruptive intensity and the existence of hydrothermal activities may all ...

Submarine Volcanism
Most volcanism on Earth occurs beneath the oceans, but submarine volcanoes are difficult to study. Advances in seafloor monitoring have opened up an unprecedented view of eruptions on the seabed.
