Scientists have discovered more than 19,000 undersea volcanoes using new seamount maps. These unexplored volcanoes could host diverse life forms and mineral resources. They could also help us understand plate tectonics, ocean mixing, and climate change.

DAY 5: Not only are there lakes in the deep sea, but there are also mountains!There are thought to be ~30,000 - 100,000 #seamounts globally but we can’t be certain because the current maps of the #ocean floor aren’t detailed enough yet! 📷: @MBARI_News@twitter.com #deepsea
