Two Amazing Phenomenons

[hailthechimp]

There are two Wonderous phenomenons that i can remember seeing on tv but have forgotten the names of,one is like a giant hole in east europe somewhere where there seems to be a constant lava flow.
And the other amazing one is if my memory serves me wise was what was like a hole in the sea where the water was constantly trickling into.Does anyone know what these are and can anyone give me a bit more information on these weird phenonama? Thanks in advance!

Have a look at Mount Edna. There are probably others.

Most of the volcanos' mass is underground, they are basically thin crusts in the Earth's mantel where the hot goo from the inside comes to the surface and cools so solidifies, hence the mountain like appearance. The ones that are on the ocean floor are also spew their guts out every now and then, and like the land ones, some have a continual flow however small. There are many.

Cheers wildwood,but mount etna aint it,i know all about volcanos and underwater lava streams,these things are something completly different,exactly as ive described them,one is like a big circle cut above a a lava stream with no lava spewing out,almost like you could put a giant mesh on it and barbeque elephants and whales! lol! And the one in the sea i think was described as the end of the sea,which i know is impossible as the sea is continuos,but it was literally a hole in the sea with water pouring in to it,where this hole lead to and what happened to the water in this cave type thingy only god knows!

I think you're possibly talking about Darvaza in Turkmenistan,

and the Great Blue Hole near Belize

I'm more certain about the Great Blue Hole.

Thanks a lot waldo,Darvaza was right!
You were wrong about the Great blue hole,but im glad because this is another spectacular offering from mother nature that im going to research! Do yo see how small the boat is compared to it? Sheeeeeeesh!
