Did you know an undersea volcano off Oregon's coast is swelling and could erupt in 2025? Meet Axial Seamount, a massive submarine volcano 1,400 meters below the ocean’s surface and 470 kilometers offshore. Here's why this eruption could be a breakthrough for science:
1. Unparalleled Monitoring: Axial is the most well-instrumented submarine volcano on Earth, equipped with advanced sensors and AI systems to track its every move.
2. Predictive Success: Its last eruption in 2015 was accurately predicted, and now, scientists are confident we’re witnessing the build-up to another eruption.
3. Global Impact: This eruption offers a rare chance to collect groundbreaking data and refine prediction methods, potentially saving lives in future eruptions worldwide.
Geologist Mark Zumberge calls Axial a scientific goldmine. If it erupts as expected, 2025 could be a game-changer for volcanology.
Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding natural event and its potential to revolutionize our understanding of volcanoes.
