      Pod sopkou „Ústa pekla“ se znovu hromadí magma, zjistili vědci

      Vědci pomocí družicových měření zjistili, že pod jednou z nejaktivnějších sopek Nikaraguy se znovu hromadí magma. Masaya, přezdívaná „Ústa pekla“, leží nedaleko hlavního města Managuy a v jejím okolí žijí přibližně dva miliony lidí. Bezprostřední nebezpečí erupce ale podle vědců nehrozí.

      Uczeni odtworzyli szczegóły katastrofy. Wulkan zmienił losy Japonii

      Erupcja wulkanu Kikai-Akahoya na południu dzisiejszej Japonii, do której doszło 7,3 tys. lat temu, należała do największych wydarzeń wulkanicznych holocenu. Badanie opublikowane w "Science Advances" pokazuje, że jej skutki dla społeczności Jōmon były zróżnicowane: część populacji niemal zniknęła, a inne grupy przystosowały się lub nawet zwiększyły liczebność.

      “I vulcani attivi non possono mai essere trattati come mete turistiche. I social danno percezione distorta del rischio”: il Dukono erutta mentre 20 escursionisti sono vicino al cratere, tre sono morti

      Venerdì mattina, alle 07:41 ora locale, il vulcano Dukono sull’isola di Halmahera (Maluku Settentrionale, Indonesia) ha registrato una violenta eruzione, scagliando nel cielo una colonna di cenere alta circa 10 chilometri. L’esplosione ha colto di sorpresa un gruppo di venti escursionisti che si trovava in prossimità del cratere, causando la morte di tre persone: due […] L'articolo “I vulcani attivi non possono mai essere trattati come mete turistiche.
