Thousands of islands have been formed by undersea volcanoes including the Hawaiian Islands, the Galapagos, many of the western Antilles, the Aleutian Islands, the Philippines, the South Sandwich Islands, the Canary Islands, the Azores, the Marianas, and many others.
Montserrat, Hawaii, South Africa, The Cayman Islands, ABC Islands, Iam not so sure about the rest ISLANDS
All of them were formed by volcanoes. some even now aer still forming.
All the islands listed are from hawaii:
1. Honolulu
2. Maui
3. Kauai
4. Lanai
5. Molokai
Volcanoes formed the islands of Mauritius.
Generally they are just called volcanic islands or volcanic archipelagos.
Hawaii
by an undersea volcano that erupted from the ocean's floor. Spewing its lava (molten rock), the volcano built an undersea mountain that grew higher and higher, eventually growing above the surface of the sea.
Surtsey is an island that was formed by an undersea volcano in 1963. Some plants that live there are rockets, sea lyme grass, oyster plant and sea sandwort.
Montserrat is a volcanic island because it was formed by a volcano. The volcano is the result of a subduction zone.
It was an explosion from the island Surtur
The volcano is a sheild, undersea or also called a seamount volcano.
An undersea volcano is a large mountain underneath the waters that when erupted it forms a new island.
Hawaii was formed but multiple undersea volcanoes, not just one.
By an undersea volcano in the Pacific Ocean. By volcanic activity.

It could be called an undersea island or submarisle.

volcano
The underwater volcano would eventually emerge from the sea and become an island. For example, each of the islands in the Hawaiian Islands chain were formed from vocanoes, and the Big Island of Hawai'i is STILL erupting. Iceland was created the same way. Many South Pacific islands were originally undersea volcanoes which erupted, formed an island, and the island became ringed with coral reefs.
formed by a volcano i think erruption
Montserrat is a volcanic island because it was formed by a volcano. The volcano is the result of a subduction zone.
and island arc is formed by undersea volcanoes. built over time, and island arc is made of basalt and melted rock from the mantle.
