If you’ve ever wanted to see the moment an underwater volcano begins to erupt in real time, you may be in luck. It just needs ...

One of the Pacific Ocean’s lesser-known volcanoes will blow its vent in the coming months, causing 10,000 earthquakes in one day. Here’s what scientists are saying.

A major geological discovery has just linked one of Earth's largest volcanic structures to a submarine hotspot in the Pacific Ocean. This revelation overturns our understanding of how submarine ...

The volcano, Axial Seamount ... All the warmth and nutrients coming from the vents make it a hotspot for deep-sea animals, said OSU's Chadwick. "The base of the food chain here are microbes ...

This geological process is not uncommon: Hot spot volcanoes dot the seafloor, and some even create island chains like Hawaii and Samoa. But what does make Axial Seamount unusual is that it is ...

A new study may finally have the answer. Scientists have long believed that underwater volcanic hotspots—where hot, chemically distinct rock rises from deep inside the planet—form massive ...
