They are some of the most violent events on the planet, throwing out millions of tonnes of gas, ash and molten rock with each eruption. Yet the majority of the world’s volcanoes are found deep ...

Satellites detect that Iran's Taftan volcano has risen 3.5 inches, which is an indication of internal pressure and volcanic reactivation.

Although it’s hard to say why, some of nature’s most powerful forces make for some of the most soothing sounds. Lapping ocean waves are, of course, a bedtime classic. As are monstrous thunderstorms.

Ecuador’s Cotopaxi volcano has a deep and distinct voice. Between late 2015 and early 2016, Cotopaxi repeated an unusual pattern of low-frequency sounds that researchers now say is linked to the ...

Volcanoes emit a broad spectrum of sonic energy. In the case of basaltic eruptions, most of that acoustical energy in the infrasound range. A new study reveals that this low-frequency sound can give ...

Scientists have recorded the sight and sound of a volcano erupting violently 1,200 metres below sea level in the Pacific Ocean. The vast majority of volcanic activity takes place underwater, but it's ...

When volcanoes erupt, they create a stunning visual spectacle for anyone watching, but they also emit impressive noises that range from low rumbles to concussive blasts. Some of the sounds are below ...
