Re: OT: Crust Missing
I'd guess the immense pressure of three kilometers of water above it is preventing such an eruption. What puzzles me is how this area of exposed mantle hasn't cooled off because of its direct contact with ocean water and solidified, becoming part of the crust in the process.

I think Narf is correct here. Come one with something like this you would expect it to be front page environmental "end of the world" stuff, yet we hear nothing.

Re: OT: Crust Missing
This made the Australian news, both the Prime Time broadcasts and the Sunday papers. Of course there was still more print dedicated to Anna Nicole Smith.  |

Re: OT: Crust Missing
This could be why the oceans are heating up and the polar ice caps are melting.

I agree with AZ. I think some scammer "sold" them the mineral rights.
