Ocean Floor's "Yellow Brick Road" Revealed: Not Ancient Path, But Volcanic Mystery

  • Scientists discovered a structure with perfect 90-degree cuts resembling a "Yellow Brick Road" on the ocean floor near the Hawaiian Islands.
  • Initially mistaken for an ancient road or lost civilization, the formation was found 1000m deep by the research vessel Nautilus in 2022.
  • Research confirmed it's natural hyaloclastite rock, formed by rapid cooling and fracturing of lava interacting with water during volcanic activity.
  • The precise 90-degree angles are a result of heating and cooling stress, creating a "baked crust" appearance.
  • This discovery highlights that only a tiny fraction (0.0006-0.001%) of the ocean floor has been explored, emphasizing vast unexplored mysteries.

Why It Matters: The "Yellow Brick Road" on the ocean floor is a natural volcanic formation, not an ancient path, revealing deep-sea mysteries.
