OREGON
VOLCANO LOOKS READY TO ERUPT
The seafloor has dropped nearly 8 feet (2.4 meters) at the Axial
Seamount undersea volcano, located 300 (480 km) miles off the coast of Oregon.
Geologists have been watching the volcano and predicted that it
would erupt this year.
Signs of magma have been
spotted near the volcano’s vent and geologists believe it is erupting. The region
has also experienced thousands (8,000+) of very low magnitude earthquakes, a sign of
imminent eruption.
