The 311-gram space rock was discovered in 2023 and is known as the Northwest Africa 16286 meteorite — and based on the decay ...

Mantle plumes are important geologic processes—they interact with plate tectonics, create rich mineral deposits, and even ...

No volcanism scenario showed such total habitat destruction, the team found. As the impact-induced winter settled in, global temperatures reached –30° to –40° Celsius, Chiarenza says.

Precision dating strengthens idea that climate-altering Deccan volcanism contributed to dinosaur extinction.

Two intense spells of volcanic activity 450 million years ago triggered a period of global cooling and falling oxygen levels in the oceans, leading to the extinction of 86 percent of all marine life.

State shift in Deccan volcanism at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, possibly induced by impact. Science , 2015; 350 (6256): 76 DOI: 10.1126/science.aac7549 Cite This Page : ...

Extreme volcanism did not cause the massive extinction of species in the late Cretaceous K/Pg boundary: the great extinction of the Cretaceous in Zumaia coasts Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

"Deccan volcanism is the likely culprit behind the K-T mass extinction," Keller added, saying that she thinks the biological effects of that volcanism have been underestimated, ...

“The 200,000-year time interval between the onset of Miocene warming and volcanism doesn’t fit well with our understanding of Large Igneous Provinces like the Columbia River Basalts, ...

The volcanism, Dr. Hull explained, stopped seeping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere some 200,000 years before the Cretaceous ended and the age of mammals began.
