Kinda related info that I think will interest all punatics -science minded or not.
I just found out that the bi may not hold the record for the largest volcano on earth, which was new info to me check this out: The
Largest Volcano on Earth Lurks Beneath Pacific Ocean(The Tamu Massif was formed about 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous period[1] over a relatively short period of time (a few million years) and then became extinct.[1] If confirmed, the suggestion that it could be a single volcano[7] in the Shatsky Rise would make it the largest known volcano on Earth, dwarfing the current record-holder, Mauna Loa on the Hawaiian Islands. )
