** Scientists are keeping a close eye on the Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano about 300 miles off the Oregon coast, which is showing signs it might erupt soon. The good news? Experts say even if it blows, it won’t threaten land or trigger earthquakes.

What This Mean: ** While "underwater volcano eruption" sounds dramatic, this one’s more of a scientific curiosity than a danger. It’s a chance for researchers to study how these hidden geologic systems work—and a reminder that Earth’s drama isn’t just happening on dry land. For coastal residents, it’s business as usual.
