Underwater volcano from Oregon coast According to scientists, it can turn later this year.
The volcano, known as the axial plant, is located more than 4900 feet under the Pacific Ocean and 300 miles from the coast of Oregon, but it shows signs that will soon appear for the first time since 2015.
The volcano is formed by a hot dot, an area in the mantle of the earth, where the hot feathers of the molten material rise up to the bark, in Washington University The college of the environment said in the April message on the blog. When the crust moves above the mantle, the hot point remains in place, which over time leads to long chains of volcanoes.

The regional cable massif covers the entire tectonic plate of Juan -de -Fuka, from the coast of Oregon to the top of the axial Sherm seam of 300 miles from the shore. (Initiative to observe the ocean through the University of Washington)
“More than two-thirds of the Earth’s surface were formed by volcanic eruptions in these middle of the oceanic ridges,” said Maya Tolstoy, Marine Geophysics and the Dean of the University of Environment. “Axial Seamount is a direct result of these fundamental processes that continue to form our planet today.”
According to scientists, the eruption is not dangerous.
“The axial clockwork wool is too deep and far from the shore for people on the ground, to even notice when it flashes. The eruption in axial seams also has nothing to do with seismic activity on land, so the Pacific North -Wallowers should not worry that this event causing a serious earthquake or tsunami, ”the blog says.
The first sign of eruption in the volcano will be a sharp increase in the number earthquakes Around him, the post says.

“The volcano has already surpassed the inflation that we observed in 2015, but the earthquake activities are still quite low,” said Deborah Kelly, professor of the UW Oceanography School and the director of the regional massif on the cabin. “We see from 200 to 300 earthquakes per day, and about 1,000 per day from the tides. If what we learned in 2015, I would like to see more than 2000 a day for several months before the eruption. ”
Earthquakes will be caused by the fact that Magma moves to the surface, reports Post.

“This period lasts about an hour, and then the magma reaches the surface,” said William Wilkock, a professor at the UW Oceanography School. “Lava flows spread through the caldera, and the cracks filled with lava open in the north or south, reaching up to 40 kilometers (about 25 miles).
“Seismic activity dies quite quickly over the next few days, but the eruption will continue slowly for a month.”
