Not exact matches

The current unrest is consistent with a reactivation of the magmatic system after 412 years and, hence, with an increase in the threat from volcanic activity to the caldera's population of almost 360,000 people, as well as to the three million residents of Naples immediately outside its eastern margin.

After observing a sharp rise in volcanic activity during this period, and testing various scenarios, the geologists concluded that the increase in magmatic activity could only be explained by the almost total drying out of the Mediterranean.

The volcanologist explains that the lack of a major volcanic eruption does not necessarily indicate that magmatic activity has come to a complete halt.

«The volcanic eruption has now moved on to the next, more severe, magmatic eruption phase, where highly viscous lava can trap gases under pressure, potentially leading to an explosion,» says Mark Tingay, a geologist at the University of Adelaide in Australia.

These volcanic rocks covered a huge area, across four continents, representing the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP).

In the study entitled «The effect of giant lateral collapses on magma pathways and the location of volcanism,» authored by F. Maccaferri, N. Richter and T. Walter, all working at GFZ, in section 2.1 (Physics of earthquakes and volcanoes), the propagation path of magmatic intrusions underneath a volcanic edifice has been simulated by means of a mathematical model.

For 250 million years between Year 2.16 and 2.26 billion, however, volcanic activity appears to have subsided in a «global magmatic lull» so that comparatively little carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere through volcanoes (Condie et al, 2009; and David Shiga, New Scientist, May 9, 2009).

Seismicity directly under or very near Cascade volcanic centers is usually related to magmatic or geothermal activity.

Shellnutt (2017), in a succinct review of the Panjal Traps (c. 290 Ma), an important component of the Himalayan magmatic province, discusses the synchronous nature of basalts, that chemically range from continental tholeiite to ocean - floor basalt, and crustally derived silicic volcanic rocks (rhyolites and trachytes: 206Pb / 238U zircon in situ age of 289 ± 3 Ma), that developed in a shallow lithospheric rift with significant mingling between crustal melts and mafic magmas.

An adventure beneath the earth's surface An ancient legend tells of a long - gone continent called Magmatic, buried in a volcanic eruption -LSB-...]

«The volcanic eruption has now moved on to the next, more severe, magmatic eruption phase, where highly viscous lava can trap gasses under pressure, potentially leading to an explosion,» Mark Tingay, a geologist at the University of Adelaide's Australian School of Petroleum, said in a statement Monday.

In short, the belief that volcanic CO2exceeds anthropogenic CO2 implies either unbelievable volumes of magma production or unbelievable concentrations of magmatic CO2.

It now appears that Western Antarctic ice shelf instability is due to volcanic and magmatic activity beneath it — not climate change.

The images show that the axial valley at 4,000 m water depth is blanketed by an extensive set of pyroclastic deposits, raising important questions regarding the accumulation and discharge of magmatic volatiles on such ridges and demonstrating that large - scale pyroclastic activity is possible along even the deepest portions of the global mid-ocean ridge volcanic system.

Here we combine new and published geochronological data for tectonic - magmatic events recorded along the Greenland continental rifted margin to test the hypothesis that the origin of the main Cenozoic hyperthermals, including the PETM, is rooted in plate tectonic, metamorphic and volcanic processes in the North Atlantic region.
