Geological study can also predict what Earth’s processes will do next: landslides, earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions. The hexagonal basalt stones at Giant's Causeway were created by ...

In recent decades, interest in the study of basalt volcanic rocks has increased both in terms of ... Molybdenum and gold are also mined in the area under study, and there is an oil and gas field. In ...

“This Manchester-led study examined the behaviour of basalt magmas so we can better forecast the impact of future volcanic eruptions,” explained Professor Burton. “For example, Icelandic eruptions are ...
