近廿年来,由于海底扩张和板块构造假说的兴起,以及对海洋地质学认识的逐渐深入,愈来愈感到研究海底火山作用的重要意义。过去国内外虽有一些局部的、零星调查资料,但还没见有这种综合性的重要文献。在这里作者试图作一尝试。本文所述海底火山作用是以海底火山喷发的各种岩石为代表,这些岩石位于大洋盆地内。 In the past 20 years, due to the rise of seafloor expansion and plate tectonics hypothesis and the gradual deepening of understanding of marine geology, it is increasingly felt that the research on the role of submarine volcanoes is of great significance. In the past, although there were some local and sporadic surveys at home and abroad, no comprehensive and important literature has been seen yet. Here the author tries to make a try. The submarine volcanoes described in this paper are represented by various rocks erupted in submarine volcanoes and these rocks are located in the oceanic basin.
