Scientists have discovered more than 100 "Jurassic World" volcanoes under the Australian surface, about10.8 billion years ago. Scientists from the University of Adelaide and the University of Aberdeen discovered these volcanic groups by using advanced underground imaging technology, which aims to identify craters, lava and magma chamber. According to the Daily Mail, these volcanoes were formed in the Jurassic period, about 654.38 billion to 60 million years ago. However, in the Cooper-Ermenc basin, volcanoes are buried under sedimentary rocks hundreds of meters deep.

The basin is now composed of arid and barren landscapes, but during the Jurassic period, the area may have been spewing hot lava. Due to the huge number of volcanoes, the lake has become a coal swamp. Simon Holford, an associate professor, said that although most volcanic activities on earth occurred at the edge of tectonic plates or under the earth's oceans, this ancient Jurassic World was formed in the depths of the Australian continent. Its discovery increases the possibility that there are more undiscovered volcanic worlds under the unexplored surface of Australia. The reserve shows that there may be more volcanic activity in Australia than previously thought.

Scientists published their findings in Gondwana Research magazine, which pointed out that this volcanic wasteland is called Vaughan Volcano Province, which is a tribute to Australian cricket legend Sean Vaughan. Associate Professor Horford added that we wrote most of this paper during the Aberdeen researchers' visit to Adelaide. Inspired by cricket, we think the name Wony is very suitable for this once hot area. At the same time, scientists discovered another extinct volcano with a colder climate.

An expert warned that a volcano in Russia that was previously thought to have been extinct has awakened and is ready to erupt. Udina Volcano is a part of Russian kamchatka peninsula Volcano Group. This huge volcano is about 65,438+0,000 feet (3,000 meters) high. It was not considered extinct until 2065,438+07. However, a breakthrough new study shows that this volcano is active again and may erupt as violently as Mount St. hellens. Professor Ivan kulakov, the lead researcher of this study, said that when a volcano remains silent for a long time, its first eruption may be disastrous.

Bolshaya Udina volcano has never been considered as an active volcano before. This volcano is just one of other volcanoes, some of which are very active, while others are permanently active. However, since 196 1 began to permanently monitor these volcanoes, there has been no seismic activity in Udina volcano. Therefore, it has always been considered as an extinct volcano, and the geological characteristics show that there has been no earthquake activity there for thousands of years. Geologists can't even estimate the last eruption time of Udina volcano, because it was a long time ago.
