All volcanoes have some dangers, of course. Some underwater volcanoes can lead to tsunamis or other forms of water disasters. Land volcanoes spit ouot hot ash and lava and molten rock, and smoke as well, so much so that you could be burned alive by boiling hot ash, choked to death by smoke or gas or burned by lava, or even crushed by falling rock.

Underwater volcanoes can cause significant damage by triggering tsunamis, disrupting marine ecosystems, and altering ocean chemistry. The release of volcanic gases and ash can also pose a threat to marine life and nearby coastal communities. Additionally, underwater volcanic eruptions can create new landforms and change the topography of the ocean floor.

∙ 12y agoI'd say land volcanoes. They can destroy homes on land and underwater volcanoes can help make more land, like in Hawaii. And underwater volcanoes can also kill fish but they would most likely not live around them.
no thay are no beause the sea ones do not kill any one because they are thousends of miles down
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThere are thousands of underwater volcanoes all over the place, especially Hawaii! i think there are are land volcanoes than underwater volcanoes
Wiki User
∙ 15y agono,underwater volcanoes are smaller then volcanoes on land.

∙ 15y agoUnderwater volcanoes cause no damage to the earth but they do bubble and sometimes make islands.

∙ 8y agoVolcanoes can cause Earthquakes under both land and sea, but they are not the primary cause. Most earthquakes are caused by the shifting of Earth's tectonic plates.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, because land volcanoes can shoot debris around while an underwater volcano is being held back by water pressure. It is really quite simple.

Is basalt found under water and by volcanoes?
yes. some types of basalt is found of volcanoes.
Under water volcano?
One of the most active areas for volcanoes found under the sea is known as Pacific Rim of Fire. This area has many volcanoes that could have a devastating effect if they erupt on areas including the Philippines.
How many volcanoes erupted so far?
well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:
What are facts about under water volcano's?
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.
What percent of the worlds thermal vents and volcanoes are under water?
yes there is volcanoes under the water in and sea in the artic ocean and they are more dangerous because they got poison in them and they can kill a lot of people and animals
What are some under water landforms that are under water?
their is volcanoes and underwater islands
Where are 70 percent volcanoes located under water or in space?
under water
Are there anymore volcanoes under water?
Yes.
Are there volcanoes under the sea?
There are more under water than on land.
How many of earths volcanoes are under water?
1230900000
Is basalt found under water and by volcanoes?
yes. some types of basalt is found of volcanoes.
How are earthquakes eruptions different from volcanoes?
Earthquakes do not exactly erupt. Earthquakes are caused by the movement the Earth's tectonic plates. Yes, Earthquakes can contribute to the eruptions of Volcanoes because when one plate goes under the other water could be taken with it down into the Mantle. The water and sometimes air when is in the mantle is forced to find an exit and those exits are Volcanoes. When they go into the Volcano pressure builds up and the Volcano erupts. So really Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the Earths tectonic plates while Volcanoes are caused by a build up of pressure in the Earths Mantle.
How many volcanoes are in hawwaii includeing underwater?
Hawaii has 3562 volcanoes, but only 387 of them are under water.
What layer has volcanoes?
under water mostly but you can find them on the crust!
Can volcanoes live under water?
Volcanoes are not alive, but yes. It is estimated that about 3/4 of the world's volcanic activity occurs underwater.
Can volcanoes erupt under water?
Yes. If this did not happen we would not have volcanic islands.
What r the damages caused by flood?
Floods can cause a range of damages including: destruction of homes and infrastructure, loss of life, contamination of water sources, disruption of services like transportation and communication, and economic losses from damaged crops and businesses. These damages can have long-lasting impacts on communities and their residents.
