Geophysicists have discovered a modest increase in the rate of uplift of the earth's surface around 3 miles (5 km) west of South Sister volcano, Oregon.
A new research has found that the hotspots that create volcanic islands like those of Hawaii, Iceland or the Galapagos are surprisingly cool, and may not originate from active lava plumes in earth's deep mantle.
A new study finds that hotspots that volcanic islands, like Hawaii, Iceland, and Galapagos Islands created may often prove surprisingly cool, which suggests current theories on volcanism may just be too simple.
