develop parallel to the rift zone. Iceland is also widely considered to be underlain by a 'mantle plume', a hot zone in which there is increased melting of rock in the earth's mantle. Such a 'hotspot' causes enhanced volcanic activity in addition to that already occurring due to the spreading movement

climate change?   During the period 1991-2020, the mean summer temperature was 14.59°C, this is over 0.8°C more than the period 1961-1990. Climate projections show that future UK summers are going to become hotter and drier; a trend we are already witnessing. Climate change has the power to turn

shows the mean increase in time under this level of drought for the Mediterranean region. Fire weather risk The risk of wildfires increases under hot, dry, windy conditions, which can be quantified with the McArthur Forest Fire Danger Index (FFDI). The map shows where fire danger is projected

it was in the 1960s. UK Projections UKCP18 projects that the UK will experience warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers on average. Colder than average winters and summers will become less likely the further we go into the 21st century. A study that included an analysis of snow events found
