An underwater charge explosion, conducted by the US Navy. An underwater explosion (also known as an UNDEX) is a chemical or nuclear explosion that occurs under the surface of a body of water. While useful in anti-ship and submarine warfare, underwater bombs are not as effective against coastal facilities.
The underwater explosion also sent 146 million tons of water from the South Pacific Ocean into the stratosphere. [59] The amount of water vapor ejected was 10 percent of the stratosphere's typical stock. [60] It was enough to temporarily warm the surface of Earth. It is estimated that an excess of water vapour should remain for 5–10 years. [58]

A phreatic eruption, also called a phreatic explosion, ultravulcanian eruption or steam-blast eruption, [1] occurs when magma heats ground water or surface water. The extreme temperature of the magma (anywhere from 500 to 1,170 °C (930 to 2,100 °F)) causes near-instantaneous evaporation of water to steam , resulting in an explosion of steam ...
At shallow depths it is common for submarine eruptions to be explosive due to the reaction between volatiles in the magma and water which generates a significant quantity of steam. [7] These eruptions described as Surtseyan are characterised by large quantities of steam and gas and creating large amounts of pumice . [ 8 ]

An ash plume reached 4.5 km (15,000 ft) on January 13. Officials identified two vents, one on Hunga Haʻapai and another about 100 m (330 ft) offshore and underwater. [36] Large rocks and wet, dense ash were being ejected up to 400 m (1,300 ft) into the air. [36] [37] By 16 January, a new island had been formed by the explosion. [38]
