Michelle York+FollowIce Volcanoes Might Be Waking UpMelting glaciers aren’t just about rising sea levels—turns out, they could also wake up hidden 'ice volcanoes.' Scientists say as the ice melts, it releases pressure, letting more magma build up underneath. Iceland’s Bardarbunga volcano is already showing signs of activity, and there are hundreds more ice-covered volcanoes around the world. If these start erupting, things could get chaotic fast. Climate change just keeps throwing us wild curveballs! #Science #ClimateChange #Volcanoes50Share
Michelle York+FollowMelting Ice Could Unleash Hidden VolcanoesImagine a soda bottle ready to explode—now picture that under Antarctica’s ice. Scientists say as glaciers melt, the pressure that kept volcanoes in check is vanishing, making eruptions way more likely in places we never worried about before. This isn’t just a wild theory: hundreds of ‘ice volcanoes’ could wake up, creating a feedback loop of more melting and more eruptions. Climate change just got a whole lot messier (and hotter). #Science #ClimateChange #Volcanoes10Share
martinezlaura+FollowDormant Volcanoes: The Real Wildcards?Turns out, the volcanoes we barely pay attention to might be the ones to watch. New research says these 'hidden' or dormant volcanoes erupt more often than we thought, and when they do, the fallout can be global—think ash clouds, ruined crops, and even famine. The wild part? Most of these volcanoes aren’t even monitored. Kinda makes you wonder what else is bubbling under the surface… #Science #volcanoes #science00Share
