This has implications for the way we view volcanic risk. eep-sea basalt pillars form
The newborn rock#mostly basalt#is pushed away from the ridges and becomes buried under thick sediment.

like the low-silica basalts commonly erupted from Hawaiian volcanoes.''VOLCANO'S GLOBAL DEVASTATION A volcanic eruption of a similar size to Laki eruption that hit Iceland in 1783 could have global impacts according to the new report.
the carbon dioxide-laden water reacts with basalt, a type of volcanic rock. The researchers showed that, within a year,
Researchers have proposed storing carbon dioxide by reacting it with basalt and other types of rock before.
While basalt is common, especially on the ocean floor, basalt that is porous enough to accommodate the large volumes of water
and carbon dioxide might be hard to come by. If the approach were to be used at a large scale,
