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

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 ...
Ancient limestones reveal how volcanic carbon once suffocated the oceans - offering a stark warning as modern oxygen levels continue to drop.
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 ...
