When individuals hear volcanoes, they tend to envision blazing eruptions blasting into the air. However, volcanoes can also collapse sideways, with their sides, or flanks, collapsing. Such a collapse ...

Researchers using mathematical models say the surface of Venus is likely dotted with active volcanoes. According to the models, these volcanoes (pinpointed below) are due to Venus having a churning ...

The volcanoes of Venus are still active today, with at least 37 areas showing recent activity, a new 3D model reveals. This simulation from the University of Maryland and the Institute of Geophysics ...

Some 66 million years ago, the world was dominated by dinosaurs, and then suddenly, it wasn't. The scientific consensus is that a catastrophic asteroid impact ended the Cretaceous era when it wiped ...

When the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland erupted in April 2010, air traffic was interrupted for six days and then disrupted until May. Until then, models from the nine Volcanic Ash Advisory ...

Models have been in the news lately as a means to forecast the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve all seen the curves we’re hoping to flatten, but what exactly is a scientific model and how are ...

Until the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull volcano, models from the VAACs were based on the tracking of the clouds in the atmosphere. In the wake of this economic disaster for airlines, ash concentration ...

I played with the Erupting Cross-Section Volcano Model (Learning Resources). This set comes with an 11-inch model volcano. On the outside, the volcano has bright red and yellow colors demonstrating ...

A dormant 18th-century mechanical model of Mount Vesuvius has been brought back to life by engineering students at the University of Melbourne. This intricate device, originally designed as a moving ...

One of the most explosive volcanoes in U.S. history began its eruption with a trickle, not a blast. Mount St. Helens' gas-laden magma oozed into the cone before the mountain finally erupted in 1980.
