by an undersea volcano that erupted from the ocean's floor. Spewing its lava (molten rock), the volcano built an undersea mountain that grew higher and higher, eventually growing above the surface of the sea.

Montserrat was formed when subduction occurred underneath the sea and magma was pushed to the surface. The lava cooled and became a hard rock. The volcano kept erupting and eventually it built up to the point where you the land reached the surface of the sea. Once the island was formed the volcano kept erupting so that a mountain shaped rock formed.
