Welcome to San Diego

Submarine Volcanoes beneath the coastlines of San Diego are of one the most magnificent geological attractions in the United States.  The deep sea is so vast, full of mysteries, and most of us won’t have the chance to have a personal experience exploring its well hidden secrets, but thanks to advanced underwater photography, we all have the chance to see them.  Volcanoes such as these are an awesome sight to see, especially with their towering tubes which are spewing some kind of smoke and other gaseous elements.  You might just be surprised to know that despite this seemingly hostile environment, there still are some creatures thriving alongside these volcanoes.

In the recent years, these submarine volcanoes have showing some signs of activity, and some experts are convinced that the heat they generate through the water has some effect on the weather systems in the United States, not to mention its effect on the El Nino phenomenon.  Also, this volcanic activity has caused some significant effect on some marine life; giant squids were recently found washed up in the coastlines of San Diego.  Even our atmosphere is being affected as the immense amount of volcanic gases rises up from the ocean surface.

From space, these volcanic gases can clearly be seen with the use of spectrometers, and the way they affect weather patterns and airflows can properly be observed.  Scientists conclude that these are just naturally-occurring phenomenon and are part of the ecological balance.  Fortunately for us, we are able to study these geological structures to help us understand more about them and how they affect the world we live in.
