India now commands the largest area allocated in the international seabed for Polymetallic Sulphides exploration.
Abstract: Mid-ocean ridges, seamounts, and back-arc basins are focal points for deep-sea research due to their abundant mineral and biological resources. Unlike the sediment-covered deep-sea plains, ...
The mid-ocean ridge serves as the epicenter of oceanic spreading. It generates the majority of the Earth’s magmas and is the birthplace of new oceanic crusts. However, our current comprehension ...

At mid-ocean ridges, oceanic crust is emplaced in a narrow neovolcanic region on the seafloor, whereas basaltic melt that forms this oceanic crust is generated in a wide region beneath as suggested by ...
Before the eruption, scientists saw a wide variety of ocean life around the Tica hydrothermal vent. Andrew Wozniak For the first time, scientists have witnessed an active seafloor volcanic eruption ...
Andrew Wozniak, a chemical oceanographer at the University of Delaware, struggled to process what his eyes were taking in. Wozniak was parked on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean beneath nearly 1.6 ...
