The emergence of volcanic islands of the things that have not been studied fully, and keep the mechanism of their formation is not completely known. But a group of geologists got a unique opportunity and process to be followed and the emergence of these two islands in the Red Sea. It turned out that the two islands Tkonta in the first phase of the volcanic eruptions and accumulated molten volcanic rock. Having designed a model for geologists distortions crust neighboring islands, they concluded that the length of geological faults could be up to tens of kilometers.
These data indicate that the Zubair archipelago may be part of the zone of volcanic activity is known. What confirms this issue is for many local earthquakes in the Red Sea information.
It is noteworthy that in 2015 appeared in the Pacific island of New South region, due to the eruption of an underwater volcano. This island away from the "Nuku thousands" the capital of the Kingdom of Tonga distance of 45 km.
