Submarine volcanoes and volcanic vents are common features on certain zones of the ocean floor. Some are active at the present time and, in shallow water, disclose their presence by blasting steam and rock-debris high above the surface of the sea.

A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, ash and gases to escape from below the surface. The word volcano is derived from the name of Vulcano is...

Volcanic vents can be at the top of some of the largest volcanoes on Earth, like Hawaii's Mauna Kea, or they can be openings in the Earth's crust down at the bottom of the ocean. The shape of the volcanic vent can sometimes define whether the volcano is explosive or not.

A mountain or hill, generally steep-sided, formed by accumulation of magma (molten rock with associated gas and crystals) erupted through openings or volcanic vents in the Earth's crust; the term volcano also refers to the vent itself.

The NOAA/VENTS Geology Program aims to understand how submarine volcanic activity affects hydrothermal venting along the mid-ocean ridge system. The ultimate heat source for all hydrothermal venting is molten rock within the Earth.

On a pavement of volcanic rock we find large numbers of the bivalve Calyptogena magnifica. In typical soft bottom deep-sea sites, bivalves and other benthic animals are just a few mm long, but adjacent to hot vents, these bivalve species are quite large, sometime exceeding 20 cm in length.

The Lost City is potentially significant because it is the only known hydrothermal vent system that relies on chemical reactions to warm the water, not volcanic activity. The structure sits near but not on an area of volcanism. ... Kelly said there may have been many vents built from serpentinization on the early Earth,
