Exploring Underwater Volcanoes

The ocean floor is lava! Scripps marine geophysicist Ross Parnell-Turner talks with Kate Furby about underwater volcanoes and his research on seafloor spreading, when tectonic plates spread apart to create new ocean floor. They explore hydrothermal vents and the life cycle of the resilient organisms living near them… until the magma chambers of an underwater volcano near them erupt. #Lava #UnderwaterVolcanoes #Wavelengths #Volcano
