about perhaps as many as 5,000 volcanoes being currently active in the Pacific. The article was treated derisively by the standard geologist naysayers on FR. Yet, here's an earlier article indicating more active volcanoes, if I'm understanding it right.
Certainly interesting times in the Pacific ring of fire, in any case.
John R, I did a quick check for duplicat--doesn't appear to be one.
Hope this helps your test. Blessings,
Aren't they the ones that fabricate news stories?
It still leaves unanswered the questions I posed early on that thread. I'll clarify here in case anyone can answer specifically:
Are there more active undersea volcanoes, or is our ability to detect them simply improving?
Is this merely the result of more funds flowing to geology, post-tsunami?
If there's more actual activity than there has been historically, where's the evidence that points to that conclusion?
The article you mention was NOT from "The Times of India", an old and respectable source
It was from "India Daily" an apparently months-old webpage source specializing in fabricated stories designed to get web hits from apocalyptikook morons. These are the same people who reported on a hidden underground UFO base in the Himalayas.
It's astonishing that anyone with the brainpower to actually figure out how to make a post on FR could give credence to a "science" article like the "India Daily" one that doesn't cite a single scientist and heads the article with a fake graph purportedly showing underwater volcanoes going from 0 a few years ago to 8,000 now. (Helpful hint; the number of underwater volcanoes was NOT Zero when the graph purports they were.)
Yet, here's an earlier article indicating more active volcanoes, if I'm understanding it right.
You're not reading it right. It's a good article, about several underwater volcanoes that have been long known; I've been aware of Kavachi and Loihi for years. RESEARCH on underwater volcanism has exploded in the last few years, particularly deep on mid-ocean ridges (Kavachi and Loihi don't fall into that category, though); there's been no increase in underwater volcanoes.
Certainly interesting times in the Pacific ring of fire, in any case.
Looks pretty run-of-the-mill to me. Large earthquakes world-wide are really running well below average this year, again, too. No large volcanic eruptions for a long time, either.

And, "vents" emitting OIL! into the sea. Congress neds to outlaw these rouge vents and volcanos AT ONCE! Tee Hee
Uh.
Wouldn't it BOIL at 212??

I wonder what would happen if a volcano reached a massive underground pool of crude oil and natural gas.
