Scientists say massive Pacific Ring of Fire eruptions may have cooled Earth for centuries
- image AI generatedThe Pacific Ring of Fire, the horseshoe-shaped belt of volcanoes circling the Pacific Ocean, may have played a far bigger role in shaping Earth's past climate than previously understood.
- Findings show that some of the largest volcanic eruptions of the past 12,000 years, many originating from this seismically active region, align closely with major glacial advances and centennial-scale cold spells during the Holocene.
- According to the study published in Nature, titled “Evidence for volcanic forcing of Holocene cold events”, over 80% of Holocene glacial advances occurred within
