Those unknown structures?

Using sonar, Ran mapped 54 square miles of ice underside beneath Dotson Ice Shelf. The maps revealed flat plateaus, terraced steps, and teardrop-shaped pits, all carved by basal melt, melting that attacks the ice from below.

In the east and center, Ran saw icy terraces stacked like steps, while the west looked smoother, with channels and scooped depressions.

None of these terraces or teardrop pits show up on satellite images, so they had remained completely hidden until Ran’s mission.

Those people are only going to improve their media literacy when they can compare and contrast what good and bad sources look like – whether they do that on their own or with help from someone else. While that muscle is still underdeveloped in so many people, is it obscene to you to just help them a little?

If you can't find another source on the same information by using your thumbs

Centralizing the information means less wasted work. I'd bet I can do the research you can do in an hour in ten minutes, and my actual decade-long hobby is making research easier for others; I don't need this lecture.

No. A volcano is a vent or fissure in a planetary crust. The volcano itself is a geologigal structure and integral part of the north american plate.
A hotspot is what lies under that volcano and thereby under the north american plate.

However, those areas are not reachable by submarine (or any human vehicle at this point in time or the past). And that was the original commenter's point. There is no "under a continent" for a submarine.
