Although researchers did predict the Axial Seamount would erupt in 2025, people on the Pacific coast shouldn't worry about its impact. Axial's eruptions are akin to the ones in Hawaii in which runny ...
The volcano last erupted in 2015, producing 450-foot-thick lava flows, but because of its remote location, it is not a threat ...
Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano located off the coast of Oregon, is on the verge of erupting as experts have observed an uptick in seismic activity.
Volcanoes are rumbling as scientists monitor earthquakes at Washington's Mount Rainier and Alaska's Iliamna volcano.
Magma from the mantle finds its way to the surface, where it erupts as lava or ash and gas—sometimes in spectacular spurts, ...
Axial Seamount is one of countless volcanoes that are underwater. Scientists estimate that 80% of Earth's volcanic output — magma and lava — occurs in the ocean.
Axial Seamount is one of countless volcanoes that are underwater. Scientists estimate that 80% of Earth’s volcanic output — magma and lava — occurs in the ocean.
But Axial Seamount also happens to be located on the Juan de Fuca Ridge — an area where two massive tectonic plates (the Pacific and the Juan de Fuca plates) are constantly spreading apart, causing a ...
Axial Seamount, located roughly 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, is not a typical volcano. It rises from an underwater geological hotspot, ...
The Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano 300 miles off Oregon’s coast, may erupt soon. What it means for Washington, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
Because Axial Seamount is so far from shore and so deep, humans aren't expected to be impacted. But the impending magma flow generates pressure, heating sea water to more than 700 degrees Fahrenheit.
