Underwater volcano eruption

An underwater volcano is a type of volcano. These volcanoes are located on the ocean floor.

Most modern volcanoes are located within the three main volcanic belts: the Pacific, the Mediterranean-Indonesian, and the Atlantic. According to the results of the study of the geological past of our planet, underwater volcanoes in their scale and volume of ejection products coming from the bowels of the Earth are significantly superior to volcanoes on land. If on land, an average of up to one and a half cubic kilometers of molten magma per year is received annually from 20-30 volcanic eruptions, then during the same time, 12-15 times more material is erupted from underwater volcanoes.
