Undersea Volcano Axial Seamount Expected to Erupt in 2025
- Forecast for 6 months: Increased seismic activity and gas emissions from Axial Seamount are expected to continue, providing valuable data for scientists to refine their eruption prediction models.
- Forecast for 1 year: The likelihood of an eruption at Axial Seamount will increase, with a predicted 70% chance of a major eruption occurring within the next 12 months. Remote-operated vehicles may be deployed to capture the eruption in real-time.
- Forecast for 5 years: Axial Seamount is expected to experience a series of smaller eruptions, providing scientists with opportunities to study the volcano’s behavior and refine their eruption prediction models. The volcano’s activity may also lead to changes in the surrounding ocean chemistry and ecosystems.
- Forecast for 10 years: The eruption of Axial Seamount in 2025 will likely lead to a significant increase in research funding and collaboration among scientists, resulting in a better understanding of submarine volcanology and the development of more accurate eruption prediction models.
