Which ocean feature is an underwater mountain that does not reach the surface?
mid ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges.
A seamount is what?
A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean seafloor that does not reach to the water's surface (sea level), and thus is not an island.
How surtsey was formed?
On November 14, 1963, an underwater volcano near Iceland erupted and poured lava onto the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, building the volcano ever closer to the ocean's surface Eventually it rose above the surface and a new island was born. It is 20 miles off of Iceland.
What would happen if an underwater volcano kept erupting?
Eventually it would break through the surface of the ocean and then form an island.
