A massive underwater volcano just 300 miles off the U.S. coast is showing alarming signs of an impending eruption! :volcano: The Axial Seamount, standing 3,600 feet tall, has erupted in 1998, 2011, and 2015—and it’s swelling again. Scientists tracking this hidden giant have detected hundreds of earthquakes per day, a major warning sign of an imminent eruption.
But should we be worried? Unlike explosive volcanoes, Axial Seamount is a shield volcano, meaning its eruptions produce slow lava flows rather than massive explosions. Experts say there’s little to no tsunami risk, but studying Axial could help predict future, more dangerous volcanic events.
:water_wave: The ocean floor is about to change forever, but life above water remains the same… for now. Nature always has surprises—so stay tuned!
