Underwater volcanoes, also known as seamounts, are formed when magma erupts through the oceanic crust. They are common near tectonic plate boundaries and can create new land formations. Underwater volcanoes provide a habitat for unique marine life and play a role in the Earth's geologic processes.

How many mountains and volcanos under the sea?
there are hundreds of mountains and volcanos under the sea but there are so many that we do not know about so it is hard to say exactly how many
a piece of land surrounded by water call?
volcanos
Is a volcano a landform?
Yes, a volcano is a landform created by the eruption of molten rock, ash, and gases from within the Earth's crust. It typically has a conical shape with a crater at the top where materials are expelled.
Why do volcanos cause more deaths then earthquakes?
Volcanos burn
Are parasitic cone cinder cone the same?
Parasitic cone volcanos and cinder cone volcanos are not the same when classifying. Cinder cone volcanos are the most popular type of volcano, named for its cone shaped formation. Cinder cone volcano are also considered the smallest type of volcanos and can stand alone or grow on the flanks of other volcanos. The parasitic cone volcanos are similar to the cinder cones, however, the volcano is found on the flanks of other volcanos, hence, the name. It is created by flank eruptions of larger volcanos.
How is a channel formed by water?
volcanos under water exploded and rocks formed it.
How where continents formed?
continents where formed by under water y=volcanos
What is geyser?
it is a jet of water ( usally from under ground) that is very hot, and is made by volcanos
When do the jets in the abyss stop in endless ocean?
the under water volcanos stop at night
Is an under water volcano the same as an above ground volcano?
yes most volcanos start under water as over 70% of the earth is water from soulesance =D
Do all volcano are on land?
NO some volcanos (like Hawaiian ones) can be partly or completely under water
What process wear down and build up the earths surface?
erosion, deposition, and weathering.....magma from volcanos (under water volcanos also) makes new land as well as the rare asteroid or comet.
Is there a way to stop volcanoes forever?
under the earths crust is magma.....we cant very well fix that..the only way we can avoid this is not living under water and avoiding the volcanos.....under water is closer to the magma increasing the chances of a volcano under water...like Hawaii
Is Magma found in the ocean?
It can be! There really is no place it can not exist so long as there is volcano to support its existence. There are thousands of volcanos under water!
How many mountains and volcanos under the sea?
there are hundreds of mountains and volcanos under the sea but there are so many that we do not know about so it is hard to say exactly how many
The origin of the water in the oceans is probably from?
Volcanos
What are the locations of The Super-volcanos?
Under Yellowstone National Park
