Scientists predict that the Axial Seamount volcano off the Oregon coast may erupt in 2025. Recent signs of activity, including ground inflation and small earthquakes, have raised concerns. This volcano is closely monitored with advanced technology. Axial Seamount is the most active submarine volcano in the region, with past eruptions in 1998, 2011, and 2015. Its current inflation has reached 95% of its pre-2015 level, indicating a higher likelihood of an eruption. The volcano has been under continuous observation since 2015, allowing researchers to track seismic activity and ground movement in real time. This monitoring has improved predictions about volcanic behavior, marking a significant advancement in volcanic science.
