Boom! Giant Undersea Mile-Wide Hidden Volcano Off US Coast Ready To ERUPT ‘Imminently’, Say Experts
ABP NewsA rather huge underwater hidden volcano is set to erupt near the US mainland as scientists reveal it has shown signs it will blow imminently. According to Popular Mechanics, although less well-known that other volcanic giants of the Cascades, the Axial Seamount - an underwater volcano is actually the most active one in the Pacific Northwest. "Axial is the most active volcano in the Northeast Pacific which maybe some people don't know, because it's hidden under the ocean" Science Alert reports volcanologist Bill Chadwick telling Jenn Chávezin in the Oregon Public Broadcasting podcast. The report in Science Alert says that while this inevitable, underwater eruption is unlikely to pose a threat to humans, monitoring the volcano could help researchers better predict more dangerous volcanic events.
