Submarine eruption
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A submarine eruption is a type of volcanic eruption where lava erupts under an ocean or sea. Most of the Earth's volcanic eruptions are submarine eruptions, but few have been documented because of the difficulty in monitoring submarine volcanoes. Most submarine eruptions occur at mid-ocean ridges and near hotspots.[1]
