Eruptions of volcanoes under the ocean were believed to be slow and steady occurrences that their impact on the Earth's climate cycle has often been ignored under the presumption that they have small influence.
Findings of a new study, however, suggest that these ocean floor eruptions could influence the climate cycle of the Earth and that predictive models, including the ones that analyze the impact of humans on climate change, may need to be changed.
