The data is becoming vast, as we discover hundreds of seamounts worldwide scattered upon the ocean floor.
All of the past theories involving extinction and environmental destruction, seemingly fade a bit when I consider this current finding with everything needed for an utter catastrophe resting at the bottom of the ocean.
When these thoughts are rationally sifted, the conclusion is what has been discovered would be all we need to explain a lot. There is enough magma I'm sure, to bury our society under a mile of lava.
A dire scenario indeed, but possible.
