What ocean has volcanoes on its floor?
Pacific Ocean
What ocean floor feature consists of chains of individual volcanoes?
The ocean floor feature that consist of chains of individual volcanoes is called mid ocean ridges. This ridge can rise from 1 to 3 kilometers above the ocean basin.
Why do scientist look to the ocean floor to research the mantle?
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
ARE THERE ANY VOLCANOES UNDER THE ARCTIC?
Yes, on the ocean floor.
Can both volcanoes and earthquakes form on the ocean floor?
yes

What do you think is causing the ocean floor to increase in size?
Sea Floor Spreading and the way the volcanoes erupt make the mountains erode into the ocean.
What is the role of mid ocean ridge in sea floor spreading?
to make volcanoes
What is the floor of the ocean called?
The floor of the ocean is called the seabed or ocean floor. It is made up of different features such as abyssal plains, trenches, ridges, and volcanoes.
Are there volcanoes on the divergent seafloor?
Yes there are many volcanoes on the ocean floor. Many are very active and there are sea animals that live around them.
How do volcanoes affect the ocean floor?
Volcanic eruptions on the ocean floor can create underwater mountains, known as seamounts. These eruptions also release gases and minerals, which can support unique ecosystems around hydrothermal vents. Additionally, volcanic activity can trigger tsunamis that impact coastlines.
Volcanoes can form on the ocean floor.?
They can and do. Many small rocky islands in the pacific are volcanic in origin.
