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 ...

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.

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 largest volcano on Earth, known as the Tamu Massif, is sitting under the Pacific Ocean about 1,000 miles east of Japan, according to a new study by geoscientists at the University of Houston.

To put the size of the volcano into perspective, its area is about 60 times greater than Earth's most active volcano, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which takes up about 2,000 square miles.

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.

Previously unknown volcanoes have been discovered under the Southern Ocean around the remote South Sandwich Islands. Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) used sea-floor mapping ...

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.

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.

Unlike old soldiers, old volcanoes seemingly don't even fade away, much less die, with researchers discovering magma chambers ...
