Volcanoes are primed to erupt on a time scale of days to months rather than years, research suggests.
The study raises hopes of finding a more accurate way to tell when a volcano is about to explode, scientists at Oxford University say.

Two Stanford geologists are disputing the decade-old explanation of the large amount of coal accumulated during the Carboniferous Period. Associate Professor Kevin Boyce and Postdoctorate Research Fellow Matthew Nelsen collaborated with scientists across the country to release a paper this past month in which they propose a new understanding of coal development.

Geologists from Brown University may have finally explained what triggers certain earthquakes that occur deep beneath the Earth's surface in subduction zones, regions where one tectonic plate slides beneath another. Intermediate depth quakes have long been something of a mystery to geologists.

Astronomers have come a long way since the hunt for signs of life on Mars began decades ago.
From detecting liquid water to testing fungi on Mars-like conditions, the pieces of this vast Martian puzzle have yet to be completed.
Now, photos showing strange cauliflower-shaped structures on the red planet may or may not be the clue that scientists are waiting for.

A subterranean ramp that is part of a major fault in the Himalayas may push up the earth after major earthquakes, new research has found.
The new study mapped the fault line where the Indian Plate is diving beneath the Eurasian Continental Plate, which snakes across Tibet and Nepal. The fault is kinked, with one steeply diving "ramp" pushing up material that forms the world's tallest mountains, the scientists found.

The New Horizons probe has yielded a trove of new information about Pluto, including the existence of miniature hills that appear to be floating across the surface of the dwarf planet. The hills, which are made of water ice, measure anywhere from one to several miles across and are located in Pluto's heart-shaped feature, according to photos and data analyzed by NASA.

Found idling near deep-sea hypothermal vents and whale carcasses, the creatures look more like elongated and deflated hot water balloons than worms. For decades, scientists sought to understand the genus Xenoturbella. A single species found off the coast of Sweden in 1950 started the scientific journey. With one body opening — a mouth — and no brain, gills, eyes, kidneys or anus, the creatures appear primordial, harkening back to some of the earliest forms of life.

Scientists have created the first map that shows how the Greenland Ice Sheet has moved over time, and found that ice in the interior is moving more slowly towards the edges than it has during the past 9,000 years.
The findings do not change the fact that the ice sheet is losing mass overall and contributing to sea level rise, researchers said.

The Grand Prismatic Spring's multicolored water is one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles.
Located in Yellowstone National Park, in Wyoming, the hot spring is known worldwide for its extremely hot water and stunning prismatic colors.
Discovered by geologists in 1871, it is the largest hot spring in America and the third largest in the world. It has a diameter of about 295 feet and a depth of 164 feet.
