The peninsula lies on top of a tectonic ridge where the Pacific plate is being pushed underneath the North American plate.

Watching this volcano erupt from space is absolutely epic

Volcano Eruption

NASA astronauts were treated to an amazing sight on June 22, 2019 when the Raikoke Volcano in Eastern Russia erupted into a massive cloud of dark smoke.

Watching This Volcano Erupt From Space Is Absolutely Epic

You've never seen a volcano like this before.

We could see an eruption of clean energy.

We could power the world with volcanoes

Earth & Energy

Harnessing the geothermal energy of volcanos could allow for reliable access to renewable energy in one of the least served nations in the world.

We Could Power the World With Volcanoes

The future of energy may be the heat that lives within our planet.

Martian volcanoes are gargantuan due to plate tectonics.

How meteorites on Earth could help us solve the mysteries of volcanoes on Mars

Hard Science

Mars has a number of incredibly large volcanoes, and we've learned a lot about them over the years. One way to do this is by studying Martian meteorites.

How Meteorites on Earth Could Help Us Solve the Mysteries of Volcanoes on Mars

The Red Planet has some of the largest volcanoes known to science, but none appear to be active. Yet.

This data could soon be used to develop a better early warning system.

Satellites will soon predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from space

These satellites monitor changes in the motion of earth's surface, allowing geoscientists to predict earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions.

Satellites Will Soon Predict Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions From Space

The eyes in the sky can see underground magma streams and hidden fault lines.

Off World

A pair of astronomers have submitted a proposal to NASA to have the Juno spacecraft take a closer look at volcanic eruptions on one of Jupiter's moons, Io.
The extra work for Juno could be valuable in that we can learn more about the most volcanic body discovered in our solar system, and how that activity impacts the planet.
