The explosions of molten rock were spectacular. Hydrothermal vents are often associated with undersea volcanoes. Although most submarine volcanoes are located in the depths of seas and oceans some. But in may of 2009 scientists captured the deepest ocean eruption ever found. One of the latest examples of underwater volcanic eruptions is surtsey island south iceland.
Most of these volcanoes are thousands of feet deep and difficult to find. Many submarine volcanoes are located near areas of tectonic plate formation known as mid ocean ridges the volcanoes at mid ocean ridges alone are estimated to account for 75 of the magma output on earth. At convergent plate boundaries the plates shift. Important facts about underwater volcanoes volcanic eruptions in shallow water can throw underwater material into the air. The hawaiian islands were formed due to.
