Global monitoring of climatic and geophysical events for the week of March 8–15, 2026, shows unusually high natural activity. In Australia, floodwaters reached a 28-year record level, leading to crocodiles appearing on city streets. In the United States, EF3 tornadoes formed, accompanied by anomalous hailstones measuring 15 centimeters in diameter. Volcanic activity also increased worldwide: lava fountains at Kīlauea reached 400 meters, and the lava flow from Piton de la Fournaise crossed the RN2 national highway for the first time in nearly twenty years before reaching the ocean. In Italy, a deep-focus earthquake of magnitude 5.9 struck at a depth of 410 kilometers. Seismic events were also recorded in Chile, Turkey, and the Black Sea region. These phenomena reflect the dynamic processes occurring within the Earth’s interior and their impact on the surface.
Excess energy in the planet’s outer core affects mantle geodynamics, leading to deep-focus seismic activity. Such phenomena can impact the Earth’s crust, atmosphere, and magnetic field. Deep-focus earthquakes can act as triggers for strong crustal earthquakes and may also provoke volcanic eruptions.
Intra-mantle explosions — one hypothesis attributes deep-focus earthquakes to such events — generate electromagnetic pulses that propagate through the planet’s layers and reach the atmosphere, causing disturbances in the magnetic field. Understanding the physics of these processes is crucial for assessing the current situation. The number of such events is increasing, making a scientific approach to studying the Earth a priority. These changes affect everyone, and knowledge of natural processes helps us better prepare for future challenges.
