Deep below the surface of the ocean, bacteria and critters that feed off nutrients spouting from hydrothermal vents met with ...

The volcanoes that form where tectonic plates are pulling apart are now seen at midocean ridges, which are places under the ocean where two pieces of crust move away from each other.

The biggest single volcano on Earth is in the Pacific Ocean, roughly halfway between Hawaii and Japan. Dubbed 'Tamu Massif,' the humongous volcano erupted almost 150 million years ago.

The world's largest volcano lurks beneath the Pacific Ocean, researchers announced in the journal Nature Geoscience. Called the Tamu Massif, the enormous mound dwarfs the previous record holder ...

It turns out that many volcanoes prefer cold storage, a new study suggests. The findings come from a detailed study of crystals in lavas at Oregon's Mount Hood , from two different eruptions 220 ...

The magma movement beneath the planet’s crust could be the early stages of a new ocean basin formation, which could slowly ...

Global warming is driven by under-sea volcanoes; hot, 40,000-mile-long mid-ocean mountain ridges and rifts, ocean currents, and the amount of sunlight penetrating Earth’s surface.

When the island of Santorini was rattled by thousands of small earthquakes earlier this year, many people were left mystified ...

Magma moving under active volcanoes can cause similar opening and closing of fracture systems resulting in changes in the velocity at which ocean noise signals travel through a volcano.

The volcano is thousands of feet below the ocean’s surface, so it poses no danger to people. But under all that water, a dramatic eruption is brewing.

This phenomenon, called inflation, occurs when magma or pressurised gases accumulate under a volcano, pushing the ground upwards and outwards. In the three years since, Askja’s bloat has reached ...
