World's biggest insect is so huge it eats carrots. Adventurer Mark Moffett has found the world's biggest insect - which is so huge it can eat carrots. Former park ranger Mark, 53, discovered the giant weta up a tree and his real life Bug's Bunny has now been declared the largest ever found.
The majority of the worldâs volcanoes are found deep underwater and now scientists have been able to record one of these eruptions as it happens to discover the sound it makes. The bubbling lava erupting from the volcanic vent Hades (above) produced a distinctive acoustic signature.
Hotspot volcanoes are considered to have a fundamentally different origin from island arc volcanoes. The latter form over subduction zones, at converging plate boundaries. When one oceanic plate meets another, the denser plate is forced downward into a deep ocean trench.s a result, they are less explosive than subduction zone volcanoes, in which water is trapped under the overriding plate. Where hotspots occur in continental regions, basaltic magma rises through the continental crust, which melts to form rhyolites. These rhyolites can form violent eruptions.
