A volcano erupts in the black dark night on a remote part of the Planet. Thick plumes like black smoke are coming out from it. The terrain temperatures rise to 600 F̊ while it comes out from the magma blankets; deep cracks formed around the volcano and superheated water seeps from them.
Though the magma is deadly for the local habitat but they don’t evacuate the area. The water is hot but thousands are able to thrive in a seemingly hellish habitat.
This volcanic eruption that has been going on for weeks is not the typical volcanic activity. It’s happening at the deep-sea vent more than 8,000 feet below the surface of the ocean.
Deep-sea vents are given different names such as deepwater seeps, deep-sea springs, and hydrothermal vents. These vents are usually found at the bottom of the ocean and are created by volcanic and tectonic activity in the areas where huge hostile plates are converging or spreading apart. Magma ejects lava along the margins of these plates most of time slowly but some times with such ferocity that it creates instant lava lakes. The thick black smoke in fact is a plume of metal rich, superheated water billowing out of the silt and sediment covered gray and white under water volcano chimney.

It was of 20 February 1943 when a Mexican farmer in the Mexican state of Michoacan was readying his fields for springs sowing when ground nearby opened a crack about 150 feet long. He described that then he felt thunder and the trees were trembling then he seen in the hole the ground swelled and raised itself 21/2 meters high, then a kind of smoke or fine dust-gray like ashes began to rise with a loud whistling sound continuously and there was smell of sulphur in the air. He got so much frightened and tried to help unyoke one of the ox teams.
Eventually that was the volcano which born under the feet of the farmer. Pulido and the other people escaped from that place. The next morning when they came back they saw that the cone was grown to the height of 30 feet and was uttering with great force. During the daytime it grew 120 feet more and in that night incandescent bombs blew more than 1,000 feet up into the darkness and then a slaglike mass of lava rolled over Pulido’s cornfields.
This sudden volcano’s appearance stunned the whole scientific world as well as to that unlucky farmer also. Volcanic eruptions around the world are common but the birth of an entirely new volcano from the surface of the earth is purely rare.
If we look on the history about birth of new volcanoes in North America only two volcanoes have appeared in historic times. One was in Western Mexico’s Jorullo in 1759 almost 50 miles southeast of Dionisio Pulido’s property. The second was born 183 years later in the field of Pulido it was named Paricutin, on the name of nearby village, that village was destroyed because of that volcano appearance.
