Our new research published in Nature shows how tectonic plates, volcanoes, eroding mountains, and seabed sediment have controlled Earth’s climate in the geological past. Harnessing these processes may ...

A team of scientists put together a global database of submarine mud volcanoes. Orders of magnitude more are still bubbling, ...

Plate tectonics reveals how Earth’s surface is constantly in motion, and how its features — volcanoes, earthquakes, ocean basins and mountains — are intrinsically linked to its hot interior.

And even if researchers can prove that the Cambrian explosion happened just (geologically speaking) after plate tectonics restarted with a bang, the timing might still have been mere coincidence.

Despite the eruption, no injuries were reported. Residents are warned to prepare for possible ash fallout and sudden eruptions from the summit crater.
