More than 100 years on from Queensland's largest earthquake, researchers are re-writing history having discovered the epicentre was more than 250 kilometres away from where they thought it was.
A newly published study in the international Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research offers an alternative mechanism that triggered the 15 January 2022 Hunga (Tonga) eruption, proposing the powerful eruption was caused by a gas-driven climactic explosion rather than a phreatomagmatic one - where magma and water react violently through the water column.
This new research uses gravity-sensing satellites to track how changes in water storage on land can cause unexpected fluctuations in sea levels.
