A powerful underwater volcano known as Axial Seamount off the Oregon coast may erupt. Though scientists say it poses no ...

An active underwater volcano in the the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon Coast is predicted to erupt in 2025. Here's what to know ...

Though underwater volcanoes are more common than you might think, this one is special, as it lies on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, home to tectonic activity. Scientists at the National Science ...

Axial Seamount, located on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, provides a unique opportunity for researchers because its eruptions are frequent and, crucially, don't pose a direct threat to human life.

But Axial also sits upon the Juan de Fuca Ridge, area where two tectonic plates are spreading apart in a near constant state. Researchers with the Ocean Observatories Initiative Regional Cabled Array ...

Perched on a hot spot along the Juan de Fuca Ridge, where the Pacific and Juan de Fuca tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart, the volcano is steadily inflating with magma, increasing the frequency ...

Hotspot volcanoes are common on the seafloor. But Axial Seamount also happens to be located on the Juan de Fuca Ridge — an area where two massive tectonic plates (the Pacific and the Juan de ...
