Is half the world in danger?
Just as there are volcanoes on land, there are also volcanoes in the sea. Their shape is like a mountain and lava is filled inside them. This thing will give comfort to your heart that they are inside the sea, that is why there is a possibility of their bursting. But do not make the mistake of considering them as less dangerous because the lava present on the ground can only harm us. But the volcano erupting inside the sea has the power to drown the whole world. There is lava inside these volcanoes. Which after bursting creates pressure on the sea. Due to which tsunamis come and these tsunamis are very dangerous. Because it causes a lot of damage not only to humans but also to the creatures present in the sea. You will find this thing strange, but there are more than 4 thousand volcanoes inside the Pacific Ocean. Out of which one of the volcanoes has recently erupted.

This terrible scene shown in satellite pictures

An underwater volcano has erupted near the island of Tonga, located near New Zealand, and this volcanic eruption is so strong that smoke is rising up to a height of about 20 kilometers from the sea. It can be clearly seen in the satellite photos, to what extent the smoke plume is rising in the sky after the volcanic eruption. It looks as if an atomic bomb has exploded. At least two dozen Hunga-Hapai and Hunga-Tonga islands have been hit by this volcanic eruption, and ash and stones rained on these islands for several hours.
