Underwater Volcano Responsible for Giant Carbon Dioxide Vent Discovered Bubbling on the Seafloor off the Philippines

A new bubbling hotspot of carbon dioxide was discovered off the coast of the Philippines.

Oceans are becoming increasingly acidic in recent years. This enhanced acidity disrupts marine life, leading to widespread ecosystem collapses, such as the widespread coral mass die-off. But what is the source of this sudden increase? Humans, of course, may play a role. But scientists constantly forget to look at some endemic sources of acidity lurking underwater.

Now, a few days ago, a new research presented the discovery of a new bubbling hotspot of carbon dioxide off the coast of the Philippines. And, Soda Springs, as the researchers named it, is a result of an underwater volcano, which vents gas and acidic water through cracks in the ocean floor.

The huge carbon dioxide vent was accidentally discovered in the Philippines’s Verde Island Passage, which runs between the Luzon and Mindoro islands and connecting the South China Sea with the Tayabas Bay.

Algore would have a field day fining the volcano for pollution.

Well,there really doesn't seem to be anything we can do to stop it,does there?

IF it is as dangerous to the oceans as indicated,the best we could hope for would be some kind of chemical to dump into the sea that would counter it.

While being vewwy,VEWWY careful to not plug it up.
