Surprise Underwater Volcanic Eruption Discovered
By Andrea Mustain | August 9, 2011 03:44pm ET
An undersea volcano has erupted off the coast of Oregon, spewing forth a layer of lava more than 12 feet (4 meters) thick in some places, and opening up deep vents that belch forth a cloudy stew of hot water and microbes from deep inside the Earth.
Scientists uncovered evidence of the early April eruption on a routine expedition in late July to the Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano that stands 250 miles (400 kilometers) off the Oregon coast.
The discovery came as a surprise, as researchers attempted to recover instruments they'd left behind to monitor the peak a year earlier. When the researchers hefted a seafaring robotic vehicle overboard to fetch the instruments, the feed from the onboard camera sent back images of an alien seafloor landscape.

Underwater Volcano Eruptions Sound like Gunshots And Can Travel 10,000 Miles Through The Ocean
...
Volcanic activity is usually monitored using seismology. Devices buried deep below the ground pick up vibrations. Seismologists can recognize and record the size and depth of volcanic activity using this data. Sound waves travel differently in vast bodies of water like oceans, so normal seismology can fall short in recording underwater eruptions.

Where does this guy think clouds come from in the first place?
he explains why its not water in his opinion in the video since its not visible in other wavelengths of light that water vapor would normally be visible in
That makes no sense. Clouds are not composed of water vapor. They are composed of water droplets (or ice).
Water vapor is invisible to the human eye, yet we can see clouds. And so can satellites that use visible wavelengths.

Where did I claim this was a hoax?
I did point out that the analyses of Dutchsense don't have a very good history of accuracy. He can't seem to tell the difference between rain clouds (and prescribed fires) and volcanic eruptions.
Being an idiot does not make one a hoaxer.

Of course there is, I didn't say otherwise. You are ignoring the statement to which I replied:
There is a wavelength that is used in satellite imagery that shows up water vapor content.
its not visible in other wavelengths of light that water vapor would normally be visible in
and it wasn't caused by the fire
When you made this comment about threads which claim that Dutchsinse is a fraud and a hoaxer?

I did not call him a hoaxer. I was pointing out his pathetic history of claiming that rain and prescribed burns are volcanic eruptions.
Being an idiot is not the same as being a hoaxer.
Yes. I know. You seemed to have missed the point. Clouds do not always appear in water vapor imagery because they are composed mostly of water droplets, not water vapor.
Dutchinse used this website, which has a way to look at water vapor content in the atmosphere if you go to "regional products"...

In the surface of the ocean? How can you tell that?
In the satellite imagery it looks like the first event originated from a small point in the surface of the ocean and then spread out as it would be seen in a volcanic eruption.
I didn't say that he did.
Of mention, he also never said "you can see water vapor in the visible range"... He never said that,

Any way, here are two images of the same moment in time. The first is water vapor imagery, the second is visible imagery. The two are clearly very different. Note how clouds appear in the visible imagery and not in the water vapor imagery. Are these all underwater volcanoes, do you think?
Dutchsense thinks a cloud is a volcanic eruption. It's a cloud.
That is what clouds often do.
....Because it originates from one small point and then it spreads out...
I know, why would I? I was demonstrating that just because the water vapor imagery does not show a cloud, it does not mean it is not a cloud. Nor does the water vapor imagery have to show much water vapor for clouds to form.
You did not point to the first event he was talking about...
