A new study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters has determined that Puhahonu volcano is the world’s largest by volume and the hottest.¹ Found almost 700 miles northwest of Hawai’i, Puhahonu volcano is almost completely submerged beneath the Pacific Ocean.² Only two small, rocky remnants stick up to about 170 feet above the surface, exposing only six a

The beginning of modern-style plate tectonics is another unsolved mystery in uniformitarian geology. No secular geologist seems to have a good answer. Some have even speculated that massive meteorites or large mantle plumes could have started the plates moving, but there is little physical evidence to support either.¹

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has again tried to explain a global erosional surface known as the Great Unconformity.¹ This boundary surface marks a major gap in the rock record between Precambrian rocks below and younger sedimentary rocks above.

A new study published in Nature has found that tectonic plates may change directions rapidly, or “wobble,” several months before a massive quake is released.¹ Scientists are not sure why, but it may lead to a future breakthrough in earthquake predictions.

Recently, a new study published in Scientific Reports outlined a novel method to predict volcanic eruptions.¹ However, the technique only seems to work on a site-by-site basis and requires a tremendous amount of eruption data, more information than most volcanoes usually provide.
