There are numerous landscapes resting under the deep sea level and across the poles that are untouched and yet to be discovered by humans on the planet Earth. Volcanoes have been discovered lurking under the oceans and now, researchers have come across beautiful and magnificent ice channels under the sheet of frozen ice. Antarctica possesses the enormous ice channels underneath a floating ice shelf. If we talk about measurements, it would surpass the Eiffel Tower, said the research scientists. Team behind the study is hoping that this discovery would be…

Understanding the oceanic life-support system has always been a subject under the radar of researchers. Recently, they have postulate a hypothesis according to which the wobbling of Earth on its axis in cyclic motion is responsible for producing a nutrient that determines the health of oceans. Earth’s climatic conditions, size of marine fisheries and aquatic environment all are directly proportional to the health of the oceans, says the study. The investigation conjectures that in the past 160,000 years, nitrogen fixation in the deep sea has increased and decreased in a…

A team of researchers from A&M University has discovered a giant volcano resting under the surface of Pacific Ocean, which first they thought to be remnants of multiple volcanoes. Tamu Massif the extinct submarine shield volcano is to be found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Surface area of the gargantuan is about 120,000 square miles with peak 2.2 miles high, somewhere around five and a half Mt. Everests hence, eclipsing the current largest subaerial volcano, Mauna Loa on the Hawaiian Islands. It’s probable dead as of now, advocated the researches…
