The Biggest Mountain on Earth Discovered in Pacific Ocean | Online Casino | Online Casino IndonesiaTA888 - The largest online casino volcano on Earth is hidden in the Pacific Ocean. Geologists publish the findings in the journal Nature Geoscience, Thursday (05/09/2013) Called "Tamu Massif", the size of this online casino mountain defeat the largest volcano on Earth, Mauna Loa in Hawaii. The size of Tamu Massif is also only 25 percent smaller than Olympus Mons on Mars, the largest online casino mountain in the Solar System. "We think the volcano in this class have never realized before," says William Sager, a geologist at the University of Houston, led the study. Tamu Massif have 650 kilometers of width, but only has 4 kilometers height. "This mountain slope is low. If you stand on this mountain, it's easy to say where to go down from the top of mountain," said Sager. The mountain is erupting a few million years in the Cretaceous period, about 144 million years ago. Now, the mountain was dead. This Giant Mountains is discover through research for several years since Sager taught at Texas A & M University. Sager and his team analyzed data of rock samples, drilling and seismic surveys with the help of a research vessel equipped facilities. Data processing and then confirming the caldera, same as seen on Mauna Loa in Hawaii, indicate the presence of a mountain. This invention remodel the understanding of the Tamu Massif. Previously, Tamu Massif only be considered as part of the northwest plateau named Shatsky Ride in the Pacific Ocean east of Japan. With this discovery, Tamu Massif regarded as a volcanic. Sager said, with this invention, so anyone who wants to explain about the sea and the mountain plateau sea must meet certain requirements."They should able to explain this volcano on one particular point, and how to send the magma in quick time," Sager said as quoted by LiveScience, Thursday. Although now considered to be the biggest, Tamu Massif record will be defeat soon. Survey from online casino Indonesia plateau later is likely to find a bigger mountain. The biggest sea plateau on Earth is in the Pacific Ocean adjacent to the equator, called the Ontong Java Plateau. Different from online casino Indonesia Krakatau and Mauna Loa are surfacing, Tamu Massif perhaps forever hidden in the online casino Indonesia oceans. Name of a mountain whose volume reached 600 million cubic kilometers is from the initials of Texas A & M University, where Sager taught for 29 years before moving to the University of Houston this year. |
