"Massive Dinosaur-Era Volcanic Superstructure Discovered in Pacific Ocean"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail
Scientists have discovered a massive volcanic superstructure, the Melanesian Border Plateau, the size of Idaho beneath the Pacific Ocean, formed by four distinct periods of volcanic eruptions over 100 million years ago. This structure, larger than Idaho, is still growing and contains rare elements used in technology and medical devices. The research sheds light on the forces that shaped the Earth and may provide insight into its future, while also suggesting that similar oceanic mid-plate superstructures likely exist in the South Pacific.
