Can a volcanic mountain form underwater and on earths surface?
Some volcanoes arise on land; others begin under the seabed and eventually grow tall enough that part of them is above water. Volcanic islands such as Hawaii are an example of this second type.

Do islands float on water?
Islands are not floating freely on the surface of the water. They are locations where the solid surface of the earth are elevated above sea level. Imagine a hilly field slowly filling with water. You will reach a point where the tops of some of the hills become isolated from one another with water all around.
The name of the illness when you change altitudes too quickly?
