Volcano spews ash two miles into the sky in Japan – video

A volcano blasted ash two miles into the sky after erupting on Japan’s southern island of Kyushu on Wednesday.

Officials warned of a risk of large falling rocks and lava flows within a radius of about half a mile around the mountain’s crater, but there were no immediate reports of casualties. 

Mount Aso erupted at about 11.43am local time (0343 BST), and the ash falls have been showering nearby towns in the prefecture of Kumamoto

‘Volcanoes are life’: how the ocean is enriched by eruptions devastating on land

Lava is destroying much of La Palma but the last eruption in the Canaries appears to have ‘fertilised’ the surrounding seas

The eruption of the volcano on La Palma in the Canary Islands is a vivid reminder of the destructive power of nature but, as it lays waste all before it on land, for marine life it is likely to be a blessing.

When the lava reached the sea near the La Palma marine reserve on Tuesday night, every marine organism that was unable to swim out of danger was instantly killed. However, unlike on land, which lava renders lifeless for decades (and with forest not returning for more than a century), marine life returns quickly and in better shape, research shows.

La Palma volcano: Lava spews towards sea after further eruptions – video

Further eruptions from Cumbre Vieja volcano  on the Canary Island of La Palma have blown open two more fissures, sending molten rock spewing towards the sea.

Since Cumbre Vieja began erupting on 19 September, activity has “intensified” with earthquakes  registered near the active volcano. 

Residents have been ordered to stay indoors to avoid worsening air quality, or to evacuate from nearby towns

La Palma residents warned of ‘evolution of volcanic emergency’

People evacuated from three towns are told they cannot return as volcano has entered new explosive phase

People evacuated from three more towns on the Spanish island of La Palma have been told they will not be able to return to their homes to retrieve their belongings because of the “evolution of the volcanic emergency”.

Rivers of lava raced down the volcano and exploded high into the air on Friday night and the airport was closed as an eruption intensified and entered its most explosive phase so far.

Undersea volcanic eruption creates new Japanese island

Crescent-shaped landmass 50km south of Minami Ioto could disappear due to erosion

The 6,000-plus islands that make up the Japanese archipelago have a new addition, after scientists said an undersea volcanic eruption 1,200km (745 miles) south of Tokyo had created a new landmass.

The island was formed in the Pacific Ocean about 50km south of Minami Ioto, the southernmost island of the Ogasawara group.

An Ancient Supervolcano May Have Zapped the Ozone Layer, Exposing Early Humans to Intense Sunburns

The Toba super-eruption of some 74,000 years ago has long intrigued scientists, who remain uncertain about how the event affected humans living at the time. Now, a team of researchers suggest that the real damage from Toba came from on high, in the form of a depleted ozone layer induced by a massive release of sulfur…

Magma detected beneath city and adjoining Lake Kivu, says military governor

Thousands of people scrambled to flee the Congolese city of Goma on Thursday, some picking their way across landscapes scarred with lava, after officials said a second volcanic eruption could happen any time.

Magma, the molten rock that normally stays beneath the earth’s crust, had been detected beneath the city and the adjoining Lake Kivu, Constant Ndima Kongba, the military governor of North Kivu province, said, citing seismic and ground deformation data.

NASA developed a new method of predicting volcanic eruptions using satellites

It’s notoriously difficult to predict volcanic corruptions. There are often signs that a volcano is likely to erupt in the future, including an increase in seismic activity, changes in gas emissions, and sudden ground deformation but accurately predicting eruptions is hard. Part of the challenge is that no two volcanoes behave exactly the same way before they erupt and another … Continue reading
