Tibetan uplift was mainly caused by post-collisional mantle dynamics, not ongoing India-Asia convergence. The study ...

The last time I wrote an article here, it was to talk about Afar Region volcanoes, and I promised more to come. This is still a project that I have in mind, but that will have to wait a little ...

Of the 94, majority or 90 were weak and shallow volcano-tectonic (VT) earthquakes produced by rock fracturing while four were low-frequency volcanic earthquakes produced by the movement of fluids.

94 were weak and shallow volcano-tectonic tremors caused by rock-fracturing, while four were low-frequency volcanic quakes due to fluid movement. Phivolcs noted that the volcanic earthquakes occurred ...

What complicates matters further is that eruptions respond to heterogeneous and time-variable source conditions modulated by a crust that experiences hysteresis due to its volcano-tectonic history.
