Volcanic super-eruptions

04 Jun 2020

Volcanic super-eruptions associated with Yellowstone hotspot track announced

Volcanic super-eruptions have been some of the most extreme events ever to affect Earth's surface. Although these explosions eject enormous volumes of material --at least 1,000 times more than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens -- and have the potential to alter the planet's climate, few super-eruptions have been documented, according to ScienceDaily report.

Climate change could lead to volcano eruptions, says study

The study found that there was less volcanic activity in Iceland when glacier cover was more extensive and as the glaciers melted volcanic eruptions increased due to subsequent changes in surface pressure.

Volcanic eruptions can trigger El Nino events

Enormous eruptions trigger El Nino events by pumping millions of tonnes of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, which form a sulfuric acid cloud, reflecting solar radiation and reducing the average global surface temperature.

'Volcanic eruptions in India linked to dinosaur extinction'

Andrea Dutton from University of Florida and colleagues from University of Michigan in the US utilised a new technique of analysis to reconstruct Antarctic ocean temperatures that support the idea that the combined impacts of volcanic eruptions and an asteroid impact brought about one of Earth's biggest mass extinctions 66 million years ago.
