"Pacific Ocean's Mysterious Yellow Brick Road Linked to Volcanic Activity"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists exploring underwater volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean stumbled upon a peculiar phenomenon resembling a "yellow brick road". The formation, actually a type of volcanic rock called hyaloclastite, has fractured in a uniform way due to repeated heating and cooling from eruptions in the region. This discovery was made during the first-ever survey of the underwater region, and the scientists hope to uncover the reason for a perplexing split in the seamount trail.
