This collection explores the historical records of climate and ecological change
associated with volcanic activity, as well as the factors that control the climate effects of an eruption.
Such springs, leading into the oceans and associated
with volcanic activity in the highlands, could have created a favourable environment for Martian microbes.
«Since the giant sodium nebula that they create varies over periods of months to years, the source of the variability is probably not the symmetrical sputtering cloud, but the streaming - wake source that waxes and
wanes with volcanic activity on Io,» explained Jody Wilson, CSP senior research associate and a study co-author.
In areas of the
seafloor with volcanic activity, water seeps through the cracks beneath the earthâ $ ™ s crust and is heated up to 756 degrees Fahrenheit and then gushes out in what looks like clouds of smoke.
