This kind of undersea volcanic action is best predicted through satellite images.🌋
The Landsat program is one of the longest-running enterprises for acquiring imagery of the Earth. A collaboration with NASA and the United States Geological Survey , thebegan in 1972 and has been regularly updated to capture high-quality images of Earth. Landsat 9 is equipped with two remote sensors, an operational land imager and a thermal infrared sensor . The nearly 6,000-pound satellite entered service in January this year and has sent back images of an eruption of an undersea volcano.
Geologists and oceanographers are keen to study these volcanoes since they provide insights into the Earth's interiors and the short-lived islands they create from time to time. Since its first recorded eruption in 1939, the Kavachi volcano in the Solomon Islands has created many such islands. Barely half a mile long, these islands have been swept away by waves in the area. The base of the volcano lies at a depth of 0.75 miles while its summit is just 65 feet below sea level.
