Geophysicist here. No, SCS does not have any active volcano in the ocean basin. The last volcanic activity is around 6 million years ago.

- HWR_14 5y agoOh cool, then maybe you can explain why someone said that the it was due to a "dangerous grounds miniplate"? I thought the contention was the bed of the SCS was a thin plate that formed mountains quicker because it moved faster because it was smaller? So maybe the seamount moved? I'll admit I'm pretty ignorant here, and could have been mislead. Or maybe it's all true and the answer is still "yeah, it only takes 100 millennia, not the usual much longer"
