The closest thing to a volcano that is important is a hot spot. A hot spot appears when magma is pressured and pushed to the top. After it has come out of the hot spot it then is cooled the cold ocean water. After thousands of years of igneous rock piling up there forms a dome that could rise above sea level. After an earthquake the crust moves and now there is a different spot of crust on top of the same spot of mantle and the process starts over again All of the Hawaiian Islands were formed this way.

Volcanoes are so important as they play a significant role in the formation of the natural land forms. They also allow the earth's crust to release its pressure and bring some minerals on the surface of the earth.
