What is an ocean volcano that does not rise above the surface of the water?
A seamount.
Are mountains formed when a volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean?
i think that mountains form when volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean because they first make plates that pull and push and they push until they make a mountain and they never let go of pushing they just keep on going and going.
Is it possible for a volcano to lie beneath the surface of the ocean?
Yes, it is possible for a volcano to lie beneath the surface of the ocean. These are known as submarine volcanoes or seamounts. When they erupt, they can create new underwater landforms and contribute to the formation of underwater mountain ranges.
What volcano rises above the ocean surface?
Hi my name is britney hingleburg and i really love you
How do volcanoes impact the earth's surface?
They can form islands: when hot lava reaches the ocean, it will harden and form an island.
A vent at the earth's surface through which magma and gases erupt?
Magma becomes known as lava when it reaches the surface. And when the lava cools it usually forms some type of igneous rock, depending on the chemical composition of the lava. The gases have no common name that I know of. But for the most part they are common gases which include but are not limited to steam, CO2, and traces of sulfur gases.
How do you make world on little alchemy?
volcano+ocean= isle
What would happen if an underwater volcano kept erupting?
Eventually it would break through the surface of the ocean and then form an island.
Is Loihi volcano explosive or non explosive?
Loihi is generally not explosive as it produces basaltic lava. Since the vent is still under water it mainly produces pillow basalts. As the growing seamount reaches the ocean surface the potential will arise for occasional phreatic eruptions, which can be explosive.
Does a mountain form when a volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean?
Yes, a mountain can form when a volcanic eruption occurs under the ocean, as the accumulation of volcanic material can build up over time and create an underwater mountain. Over millions of years, this underwater mountain can rise above sea level, forming an island or a larger landmass.
What does runoff include?
Water also reaches the ocean as runoff from the surface. Runoff includes flow from rivers as well as melting snowfields and glaciers.
What ocean floor feature underwater volcano?
A seamount is an underwater volcano that rises from the ocean floor but does not reach the surface of the water. Seamounts are common features on the ocean floor and can vary in size and shape. They are usually formed by volcanic activity and can be found in all of the world's oceans.
