Abstract

In this paper we investigated if temperature effects the growth of cracks in a submarine volcano that was under a hot-spot. We based upon theory of fracture mechanics for and we showed that the undersea volcano will be exploded and a sea-whirpool will be gene- rated. Our findings are verified by studies that recorded the above phe-nolmenon in certain places of the Earth. Thus we concluded that temperature significantly contributes to the growth of cracks.
