Underwater volcanoes: the hidden giants of the ocean depths

🌋 Underwater volcanoes account for over 80% of the world’s volcanic activity, although they are invisible from the surface.
They form along ocean ridges and play a major role in creating new land and renewing the Earth’s crust.

These volcanoes release minerals and gases that feed unique ecosystems, often based on chemosynthesis, far from sunlight.

Monitoring underwater volcanoes is complex but essential to understanding geological risks and their potential climate impact.

These hidden giants are key to understanding our planet’s evolution and ocean dynamics.
