Volcanoes may have helped create life on Earth

Volcanoes may have played a crucial role in the creation of life on Earth, according to new findings.

Volcanoes May Have Provided Sparks Of First Life

New research suggests that lightening and volcanoes may have sparked early life on Earth. Researcher Jeffrey Bada at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and colleagues reanalyzed Stanley Miller's classic origin of life experiment, offering a new analysis on how the essential building blocks of life may have arose from volcanic eruptions.

Volcanoes shook up Moon

Washington, Nov 7 : New images from the Japanese lunar satellite KAGUYA have revealed dark "seas" of volcanic rock that are as young as 2.5 million years old, which indicates that volcanoes shook up the far side of the moon for far longer than scientists thought.

Volcanoes: Nature's Way of Letting Off Steam

Whether it's natural gas drilling unleashing a mud volcano that has engulfed 12 Indonesian villages or the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 blanketing the world in enough particles to block out the sunshine and lower temperatures by more than a 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius), volcanoes are among Earth's most destructive natural phenomena.

Mercury's many volcanoes spewed blue material

Earth's first nearly full look at Mercury reveals that the tiny lifeless planet took a far greater role in shaping itself than was thought, with volcanoes spewing "mysterious dark blue material."

Study: Volcanic eruptions more complex, harder to predict

Volcanoes function in a far more complex way than previously thought, making future eruptions even harder to predict, a new research by a team of U.S. and British scientists into volcanoes has found.

Volcanoes may have provided sparks of first life

New Delhi (PTI): Volcanic eruptions and subsequent release of gases may have produced necessary chemical components that triggered the first spark of life, said a new study.

Volcanoes fingered for 'crime of the Cretaceous'

Did Lightning and Volcanoes Spark Life on Earth?

Maybe the fictional Dr. Frankenstein wasn't so crazy after all. Two scientists have resurrected an old experiment, breathing life into a "dead" notion about how life began on our planet. New analysis shows that lightning and gases from volcanic eruptions could have given rise to the first life on Earth.

Infrared Technology Reveals Volcanoes' Secrets

What are the secrets of a volcanic eruption? A few hundred courageous scientists around the world are trying to figure out the answers, often at great personal risk.
