New research suggests that Earth’s orbital variations—the slow changes in its tilt, axial precession, and shape of its orbit—may influence the timing of massive volcanic eruptions, reshaping our ...

Researchers found Earth's orbital changes align with past volcanic eruptions. Climate shifts and massive eruptions occurred simultaneously.

For the first time, these new high-resolution geochemical records reveal when and how two major eruption phases of gigantic ...

Particularly the release of volcanic gases like carbon and sulfur dioxide during the formation of the flood basalts may have played a key role. “The formation of the flood basalts and its ...
