Scientists exploring a submerged mountain range in the Mid-Atlantic stumbled onto something they can't explain.
Photos show the dots connecting into nearly straight lines after the discovery on July 23.
It isn't clear how to explain it.
Several of the holes were sub linear in nature. The holes have been reported from the region before, but their origin is still unknown.
While they look almost human made, the little piles of debris around the holes make them seem like they were excavated by someone.
The summit of an underwater volcano north of the Azores was visited by a dive team on July 23. The camera was remotely operated.
The holes were found in a sandy area.
Some people wondered if the holes were made by someone taking core samples after scientists invited the public to give theories.
There is an object or animal inside the holes. Is that line the same as the current? Anthony Narehood wanted to know.
The water comes from underground springs. Mike Weathersby made a post.
Is it related to gas methane? Eduardo Pogorelsky spoke.
The deepwater areas of the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and Azores Plateau are being explored and mapped.
The longest mountain range in the world and one of the most prominent geological features on Earth is the Mid- Atlantic Ridge.
Most of it is submerged and thus unexplored. The MAR is the site of a lot of earthquakes.
As magma rises to the seafloor, thermal vents can form. Diverse communities are supported by these vent. It's not known what life is like at these sites after the vents go extinct.
There is a B-29 bomber graveyard under the Western Pacific.
The ship may have been found off the coast of South Carolina.
