Volcanic eruption at the bottom of the sea, spraying a new island

A sea floor between New Zealand and Tangjia erupted a few days ago, and a large amount of magma and volcanic ash sprayed to form a small island with an area of ​​24,000 square meters.

According to the United States Cable Television News Network quoted by the National Aerospace Administration on the 24th, the sea volcano called "Hom Reef" erupted on the 10th. After 11 hours, a small island formed by the magma and volcanic ash came out of the sea. The U.S. Aerospace Bureau Earth Observation Station issued a statement saying that the satellite captured the image of the island.

The island is located in the northeast of the Hong Aha Apay Island, which has erupted violently earlier this year. After generation, it has grown rapidly. The area of ​​about 4,000 square meters on the 14th has increased to 24,000 square meters on the 20th.

The statement said that the islands formed by the bottom of the sea are often "short -lived" and occasionally there can be for a long time. An island formed 12 days after a 12 -day island formed by a sea floor near the "Hom Reef" was out of charge, and an island formed in 1995 disappeared 25 years later.

The Tangjia Geological Service Bureau said that as of the 23rd, the "Hom Reef" was still erupting, but volcanic activities were low in the risk of aviation transportation and nearby islands residents. The agency suggested that before the follow -up notice, the ship needs to keep a distance of more than 4 kilometers from the "Hom Reef" volcano.
