A new study explains why even gas-rich, supposedly explosive volcanoes sometimes erupt quietly instead of blowing apart.

Satellite images have captured a rare volcanic eruption that occurred Sunday at Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano, sending towering ash plumes toward Yemen and Oman. The eruption is the first recorded activity at the volcano in roughly 10,000 years, offering scientists a striking glimpse of a previously dormant geological site.

The explosive power and content of a volcanic eruption are determined by two key factors: the viscosity of the magma and its dissolved gas content

Volcanoes often look deceptively quiet until the moment they unleash towering plumes of ash and gas, yet the precise switch that turns a gentle rumble into a devastating blast has remained stubbornly elusive.

Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu has assured that safety measures are in place following the Hayli Gubbi volcano eruption in Ethiopia. Indian airlines are closely monitoring the ash clouds drifting towards western India.

The ash cloud drifted over northern India, causing some flight delays and cancellations, and continued toward China.

The volcano near Naples is shaking the ground in a way that scientists say it hasn't for centuries, posing risks for hundreds of thousands of people living in the 8-mile-wide crater left by past eruptions.

The volcano, situated in Ethiopia's Erta Ale Range, last erupted around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The explosive eruption began around 8.30 am UTC on Sunday, said the Toulouse VAAC advisory.

Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano has roared back after millennia, sending ash across regions. Here’s 10 biggest volcanic blasts and their immense global impacts.

The Hayli Gubbi volcano, a lesser-known feature in Ethiopia's Danakil region, made headlines this morning with its explosive eruption, marking a significant event in the volcano's recorded history. This eruption,

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A restive volcano in central Philippines briefly erupted Tuesday, spewing a 4.5-kilometer (2.8-mile) ash plume and debris into the sky as its rumblings were heard nearby. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology ...
