HOW DOES AN UNDERSEA VOLCANIC ERUPTION TAKE PLACE WHEN WE USE WATER AS FIRE EXTINGUISHER ?

Solution

Dear Student,

Volcanic eruptions occur due the outflow of hot magma that is present at the core of the earth during the movement of tectonic plates. When it occurs undersea, the hot magma turns the water into steam and the solid part condenses on the sea bed.
