No. Volcanoes form either as a result of tectonic plates colliding or pulling apart, or from plumes of hot material in the mantle.
Barrier islands are usually sedimentary features and are not related to volcanic activity.

What are barrier islands and do they form?
Barrier islands are long, narrow, and low-lying islands that run parallel to the mainland coast. They are typically separated from the mainland by a lagoon or salt marsh. They form through a combination of processes such as sediment deposition by coastal currents, waves, and tides.
What landform does the barrier islands line?
Barrier islands are usually in the form of sand dunes that form off a coast.
What do barrier islands form as a result of?
Barrier islands form as the result of wave or tidal flow parallel to a coastline.
What are islands arc volcanoes?
Island arc volcanoes are islands that form in chains underwater and emerge above the surface for form a series of islands.
What kind of volcanoes create islands?
Both shield volcanoes and stratovolcanoes can form islands.
How did the hawaiin islands form?
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by volcanic activity over millions of years. A hot spot in the Earth's mantle created a chain of volcanoes as the Pacific Plate moved over it, forming the islands. The islands are the youngest in the chain in the southeast, with the Big Island of Hawaii being the most geologically active.
When volcanoes erupt do islands form?
yes
Do islands form from volcanos?
Some islands are formed by volcanoes, but most are not.
What can Wind can form?
wind can form barrier islands and loesses
Why can volcanoes be constructive and a destructive?
Volcanoes can be constructive when they form islands and mid-ocean ridges
Why do volcanoes erupt on islands?
It is not so much that volcanoes tend to occur on islands as much as many islands are formed by volcanoes. Subduction zones and hot spots often cause volcanoes to develop on the sea floor. Erupted material then piles up to form islands.
How did weathering help form the barrier islands?
im not sure
