This is the incredible moment when lava erupts from one of the world's most active volcanoes. Bubbling magma could be seen inside Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island after its crust became awash with ...

As bristling with volcanoes as a porcupine with quills, Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar ...

The lava has a thin crust on it that's caused by air cooling, so the geologist has to break this with his rock hammer before taking a sample. Lava sampling regularly happens at Kīlauea Volcano to ...

Kilauea, Hawaii's most active volcano, erupted once again this week, producing lava fountains that soared up to 700 feet into ...

Scientists now know how to drill deep enough to tap into an energy supply that would power the world for more than 20 million years if we capture just 0.1 percent of it.

The tallest volcano in Europe, Italy's Mount Etna, and the world's most active volcano, Kilauea in Hawaii, erupting again.

The researchers found that most of the newly analyzed lava lakes are hottest at their perimeters. This suggests that these lakes are largely capped by a cooler crust of solidified lava.

Lava from an eruption. Most volcanic eruptions are caused by pieces of the Earth's crust, called tectonic plates, moving towards each other. Some volcanoes, like Mauna Loa in Hawaii are caused by ...

The Alaska Volcano Observatory says that if the snowcapped volcano erupts, the impacts could include damage to aircraft from ash.

Lava flows are masses of magma that pour onto ... Vents are openings in the Earth's crust from which magma and volcanic gases escape onto the ground or into the atmosphere. Vents may consist ...

This desert landscape east of Bend was buried by a basalt lava flow about 10,000 years ago. As more lava welled up it buckled the cooled lava crust on top into pressure ridges. Then in 5677 BC, the ...
