  2. Submarine volcano - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_volcano

    Submarine volcanoes are underwater vents or fissures in the Earth's surface from which magma can erupt. Many submarine volcanoes are located near areas of tectonic plate formation, known as mid-ocean ridges. The volcanoes at mid-ocean ridges alone are estimated to account for 75% of the magma output on Earth. [1]

  3. Submarine eruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_eruption

    Submarine eruptions are volcano eruptions which take place beneath the surface of water. These occur at constructive margins, subduction zones, and within tectonic plates due to hotspots. This eruption style is far more prevalent than subaerial activity.

  4. List of submarine volcanoes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_submarine_volcanoes

    A list of active and extinct submarine volcanoes and seamounts located under the world's oceans. There are estimated to be 40,000 to 55,000 seamounts in the global oceans. [ 1 ] Almost all are not well-mapped and many may not have been identified at all.

  6. Hydrothermal vent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_vent

    For this reason, scientists were astounded when they first found hydrothermal vents teeming with life in 1977. What was discovered was the ubiquitous symbiosis of chemoautotrophs living in (endosymbiosis) the vent animals' gills; the reason why multicellular life is capable to survive the toxicity of vent systems. Scientists are therefore now ...

  7. Kavachi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavachi

    When the volcano erupted in 2003, a 15 m-high (49 ft) island formed above the surface, but it disappeared soon after. Additional eruptive activity was observed and reported in March 2004 and April 2007. [5] [6] More recent volcanic activity can be inferred from observations of discolored water around the volcano, in 2020 and January 2021. [1]

    The unnamed undersea volcano, located about 1 kilometer (half a mile) off the southern coast of Iwo Jima, which Japan calls Ioto, started its latest series of eruptions on Oct. 21.

  9. Davidson Seamount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidson_Seamount

    A seamount is an underwater volcano; Davidson rises 7,480 ft (2,280 m) above the surrounding ocean floor. Although there are over 30,000 seamounts in the Pacific Ocean alone, only about 0.1% of them have been explored. [4] The aqueous environment of the seamount means that it behaves differently from volcanoes on land.
