-(Natural News) An international team of researchers has found further evidence that volcanic eruptions were responsible for the largest mass extinction event in history. In a study published in the journal Geology, the researchers detailed their discovery of coronene, a type of hydrocarbon that can be produced by an intense volcanic eruption, in sedimentary rocks. Link of coronene to […]

-(Natural News) A study published in the Geophysical Research Letters suggests that hurricanes or even just really strong storms can trigger seismic events called “stormquakes” in the nearby ocean. Researchers from Florida State University (FSU), the University of California, San Diego and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts analyzed more than a decade of seismic and oceanographic […]

-(Natural News) Researchers from Portland State University found that the Gales Creek fault in Oregon could unleash an earthquake of up to magnitude 7.4. The researchers dug a trench to study the fault and found evidence of three previous earthquakes in the last 9,000 years. Each earthquake was strong enough to rupture the surface. The researchers said […]

-(Natural News) A team of researchers has developed maps that predict the extent of flooding in some areas. However, they have also stumbled upon a serious revelation: Areas in the northeastern U.S. that only experience flooding once every century will now see deluges happen every 30 years. Worse, some areas may now expect flooding every […]
