This was neat. I was just toolin' around, and saw this on the Yemen volcano. Since it is in the middle of nowhere, there is only a green alert. But at least it shows a map!
The Red Sea is a zone of plate tectonic spreading. As the plates move away, the earth is literally torn apart, and new oceanic crust is created. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is also a place where volcanoes are a dime a dozen. Usually, they are fairly bloopy volcanoes like you get on Iceland.
