Pacific Ocean Sea 1100m Undersea Volcano Explosion in 2025...It swelled up

According to scientific media such as Science News, some scientists claimed that an undersea volcano 470 kilometers off the coast of Oregon in the United States is expected to explode one day next year.
Predicting volcanic eruptions so early is a 'very unique thing' in the scientific community.
Known as 'Axial Seamount', the volcano is located 1400 m below sea level and is estimated to be 1100 m high and 2,000 m in diameter.
Geophysicist Dr. William Chadwick claimed at a recent meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Washington, DC that volcanic activity was imminent after accumulating and analyzing the undersea volcano's data for 10 years.
However, the researchers said they could not estimate a specific date. Some predict that it will be 2025.
According to the researchers, measurements in November showed that the surface of the Axial Seamount swelled to the same height as before the last explosion in 2015. This is a sign that magma has accumulated underground as pressure inside the volcano has increased.
On the other hand, if an undersea volcano explodes, water vapor will erupt to the surface along with a powerful earthquake and a tsunami is likely to occur.
When an undersea volcano erupted in Tonga, a South Pacific archipelago country, in 2022, a small island was formed.
At that time, Tonga's undersea volcano 'Home Leaf' erupted and a new island rose above the surface.
It was also found that a huge amount of water vapor flowed into the stratosphere, causing warming in the short term.
