Unusual earthquakes highlight central Utah volcanoes
University of Utah
If you drive south through central Utah on Interstate 15 and look west somewhere around Fillmore, you’ll see smooth hills and fields of black rock. The area is, aptly, named the Black Rock Desert. It may not look like much, but you’re looking at some of Utah’s volcanoes.
A pair of earthquake sequences, in September 2018 and April 2019, focused scientists’ attention on the Black Rock Desert.

What's the coldest Earth has ever been?
EarthSky
For much of its history, our planet has been hotter — sometimes much hotter — than it is today. But our planet has also been colder. Scientists may never know which period in our planet’s 4.54-billion-year history was the absolute coldest, but research has revealed a few contenders. All of these periods have been identified as ancient ice ages.
Some of the coldest conditions struck over two billion years ago, after the rise of atmospheric oxygen.
