Scientists Identify Seismic Trigger Before 2022 Tonga Eruption; Insight Could Improve Tsunami Warnings
A seismic wave recorded 15 minutes before the massive 2022 Tonga eruption could help scientists improve early-warning systems for remote oceanic volcanoes and mitigate tsunami risks. Researchers found that a rupture beneath the volcano’s caldera allowed seawater to mix with magma, triggering the eruption. This discovery may provide critical lead-...

Tonga's Volcano Was the Most Explosive Eruption Since Krakatau in 1883, Claims New Study
Two new studies published in the journal Science have claimed the Tonga volcanic eruption to be the biggest explosion in last 140 years. It was comparable in terms of atmospheric intensity only to the Krakatau eruption, which took place in Indonesia in 1883. More than 30,000 people are believed to have died in that catastrophic event.
