| Description |
Scientists Catch Underwater Volcanic Eruption "In Action" Nearly 2,500 meters beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, magma erupted onto the sea floor in January 2006 in a new episode of sea-floor spreading, an occurrence never before caught in progress by scientists. Scientists aboard the research vessel (R/V) Knorr confirmed evidence of the volcanic activity in April, 2006, when they tracked the locations of 12 ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) designed to monitor earthquake activity on the East Pacific Rise tectonic plate boundary, located south of the Gulf of California.
