Mountain Underwater Mysteries is Tamu Massif

Why can a volcano at the base of this Pacific Ocean be named the world's largest volcano? How big is this Guest Mountain? scientists have performed the latest analysis using magnetic and sonar devices by firing directly into the bottom of the deep ocean. After doing a new 3D mapping it is known that Mount Guests has a tremendous size. Just imagine, the height of this volcano is indeed not how, just 4,400 meters from the bottom of the ocean. The peak did not penetrate the surface of the ocean and was about 2,000 m below sea level. While the valley berkedalaman 6.4 km.

Surprisingly, however, the shape of Mount Guests like this type of shield volcano measures 450-650 kilometers. This mountain is 50 times larger than the largest active volcano on Earth, Mauna Loa in Hawaii! If compared, the Massive Guest Massive volcano is the size of the New Mexico region or half the size of the island of Sumatra or just imagine the island of Sumatra split into two parts!

It is estimated that the magnitude of Mount Tamu Massif is not formed by some parts of Volcano.
