A volcanic eruption that has engulfed homes in an Icelandic fishing port confirms that a long-dormant faultline running under the country has woken up, threatening to belch out lava with little warning for years to come, an expert warned on Tuesday.

    How is 300,000 people “no one”? That’s a lot of people, other countries having more doesn’t change that.

        0.00000375% of the world’s population is 300, not 30,000. I don’t think math’s your strong suit. Not that fractions of the world’s population should be a metric for whether we care about a disaster.

        That seems small enough to be a rounding error

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth’s surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more…
