Scientists examining the ancient and underwater volcano chain in the Pacific Ocean, “a yellow brick road” They could not hide their surprise after finding it. But this brick road is actually a completely natural formation, the result of volcanic geology that strangely and uniformly breaks up the rock.
First class who discovered the Ancient Seamounts of the Liliʻuokalani Ridge as part of an expedition E/V Nautilus pilots were the team that made the discovery, which we were able to watch thanks to a video released. The team tried to sample some manganese crust from the seafloor with the help of a robotic arm and had some success.
Using the robotic arm, the team took the opportunity to more closely examine a pile of ferromanganese shells, a marine sedimentary mineral deposit made up of iron and manganese oxides. After sampling, the ship was “paved”yellow brick road”appears”baked crust‘ he couldn’t hide his surprise as he made his way towards an area that looked surprisingly dry.
A researcher “What’s this?‘ while another questioned, ‘road to Atlantis” he was saying.
According to the EVNautilus team on YouTube, “What appears to be the ‘yellow brick road’ to the legendary city of Atlantis is indeed an example of ancient active volcanic geology.” This peculiar geological formation is located within the Papahānaumokuakea Marine National Monument. It ran along part of the Nootka Seamount peak.
At first, it looked like a dried up piece of lake bed, but later on, a type of volcanic rock found where high-energy eruptions deposited fragments into the sea bed. hyaloclastite has been defined. The reason it looks so much like a brick road is because of crushed stone that heats and cools repeatedly over time as more explosions occur in the area.
You can imagine it like the top of a cake. Although the surface is solid, it can rise and fall with heat and cold and cracks can form. This ancient volcanic rock behaves in a similar way, but spans a much longer period of time.
