One starfish appears to hit another. Crabs push starfish aside in the process of devouring a dead fish, etc.

Included in the film are scenes of undersea avalanches, implosions, explosions, red-hot lava flowing underwater and a diver being struck by hot lava. The film demonstrates the origin of pillow lava. It also includes scenes of an erupting volcano and lava flows above water. Additional footage is available on volcanic activity and lava flows both above and under water.
