Chrysomallon squamiferum, commonly known as the scaly-foot gastropod, scaly-foot snail, sea pangolin, or volcano snail [3] [4] is a species of deep-sea hydrothermal-vent snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Peltospiridae. [2]
The snails are a unique part of the neuston, organisms which live on or near the surface of the water, because of their relatively large size. They have veliger , or free swimming larvae, but the adults do not swim, and cannot create their rafts, except at the surface where air bubbles are available.
Naticidae, common name moon snails or necklace shells, is a family of medium to large-sized predatory sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. The shells of the species in this family are mostly globular in shape.
The red-rimmed melania (Melanoides tuberculata), [3] [4] also known as Malayan livebearing snails or Malayan/Malaysian trumpet snails (often abbreviated to MTS) by aquarists, is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, a parthenogenetic, aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Thiaridae.
A volcano needs a reservoir of molten magma (e.g. a magma chamber), a conduit to allow magma to rise through the crust, and a vent to allow the magma to escape above the surface as lava. The erupted volcanic material (lava and tephra) that is deposited around the vent is known as a volcanic edifice, typically a volcanic cone or mountain. [2] [22]
In 2021, the Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted for a total of 85 days — the longest eruption ever recorded on La Palma island
