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.

"This has profound implications for how we interpret surface volcanism, earthquake activity and the process of continental ...

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.

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

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

Beneath Ethiopia, the Earth’s mantle is pulsing like a slow, steady heartbeat, slowly tearing Africa apart and laying the ...

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.

Citation: Surprise magma chamber growing under Mediterranean volcano (2023 ... Underwater volcanoes: How ocean color changes can signal an imminent eruption. Jan 24, 2022.

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.

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 ...
