The buried secret inside South Africa’s broken rocks that revealed Earth’s biggest impact

South Africa's Vredefort crater, the Earth's largest proven meteorite impact site, defies the typical circular depression image. Formed 2 billion years ago, its immense initial size has been eroded, revealing a damaged core. This weathering, however, has made it a crucial geological site, offering a unique profile to study the crust's response to giant impacts.

Scientists looked inside Bolivia’s zombie volcano, and the reality eased everyone’s fears

Mount Uturuncu, a Bolivian volcano, is not on the brink of a massive eruption as previously feared. New research reveals its 'zombie' behaviour stems from migrating hydrothermal fluids and gases, not an imminent magma buildup. While still active and hot, this discovery reduces immediate eruption concerns, suggesting the volcano is expelling steam rather than preparing to explode.
