They can and do. Many small rocky islands in the pacific are volcanic in origin.
What else can I help you with?
Can both volcanoes and earthquakes form on the ocean floor?
yes
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 arent there any active volcanoes in the central part of the United State?
because central places inn the united states not close to the ocean which builds up volcanoes by pushing them up on the ocean floor to form a volcano.
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.
What would happen if volcanic eruptions continued to occur on the sea floor?
There are volcanoes along the floor of the ocean that form a trench. When these volcanoes erupt, it can cause tectonic movements.
Can a volcanoes form in the ocean?
yes
Most shield volcanoes have grown from the ocean floor to form?
Most shield volcanoes have grown from the ocean floor to form broad, gently sloping structures with low viscosity lava flows. They are typically formed by multiple eruptions of basaltic lava, which flows easily and spreads out over a wide area, resulting in the characteristic shield shape.
What types of volcanoes form at mid-ocean ridges?
Rift volcanoes.
Why do scientists look to the ocean 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.
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.
