oceanic trenches and volcanoes from the rising magma.
The ocean floors are largely made of magma.
There are approximately 1,500 active volcanoes in the world, and around 90% of them are located in the oceans. The majority of these underwater volcanoes are found along tectonic plate boundaries in regions known as the Ring of Fire and the Mid-Ocean Ridge.

Yes there are many volcanoes on the ocean floor. Many are very active and there are sea animals that live around them.
I think there is add least three.

We don't know. We can only catalog the volcanoes we know about. There are probably more dormant volcanoes, especially under the ocean, that we haven't found yet.

There are over 1,000 known underwater volcanoes in the Indian Ocean, but the exact number of active ones is not well-defined. Some estimates suggest there are dozens of active underwater volcanoes in the Indian Ocean, with ongoing research helping to identify and monitor them.
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.
No, not all volcanoes are found above ground. While many volcanoes form prominent mountains or hills, there are also underwater volcanoes, known as submarine volcanoes, which erupt beneath the ocean's surface. These underwater eruptions can create new landforms, such as islands, and contribute to the formation of mid-ocean ridges. Additionally, some volcanoes may exist as volcanic features on the ocean floor without ever breaking the surface.
