Neat, very very neat.

A few remarks ( off course :) )

The boulders/rocks thrown out of the vent are too evenly shaped. They can
vary from fist size to house size.
No impact dust where the boulders come down.
You'll need some sort of steam column where the lava meets the see.

Underwater has come a long way but it looks too quiet, almost tranquil.
Now I don't get a sense of the brute forces that are at work there. (but
don't ask me how to do that :) )

Keep up the good work
