What is the name given to a compact group of underwater mountains?
massif.add possibly a seamount chain, but these are usually quite extended.
Sea mountains are volcanic mountains located on the ocean floor?
Not exactly. Sea mountains are underwater topographic features that rise above the ocean floor but are not necessarily volcanic in origin. They can be formed through various geological processes such as tectonic activity or erosion.
Are there sea shells on mountains?
Yes, some mountains were once underwater, so it's possible to find sea shells on mountains. These sea shells are typically found in areas where tectonic activities have pushed the sea floor up to form mountains.
What are Mountains on the ocean floor that turn into volcanic islands called?
Mountains on the ocean floor that rise above sea level and form volcanic islands are called seamounts. These seamounts are formed by volcanic activity and can eventually emerge from the water to become volcanic islands.
How do sea floor mountains form?
Sea floor mountains, also known as seamounts, form through volcanic activity where magma rises up through the Earth's crust and creates underwater peaks. These mountains can also form through tectonic processes such as the movement of tectonic plates or hotspots. Over time, as volcanic activity continues or tectonic plates shift, these mountains can grow in size and shape.
What is the chain of mountains that extends into all of the oceans called?
sea floor spreading
What is the chain of mountains that extends into all of earths oceans is called?
The ocean ridge.
A chain of underwater mountains?
Sea floor spreading causes several chains of underwater mountains. They are sometimes called seamounts. They are also called mid ocean ridges.
A chain of mountains on the ocean floor?
The mid-ocean ridge. The longest in the world, in the sea and on land.
What are facts about loihi?
Loihi is a submarine volcano located off the southeast coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is an active volcano that is currently undergoing a process of surface erosion and will eventually emerge from the ocean to become the next Hawaiian island in around 10,000-100,000 years. It is part of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain, which is a long chain of underwater mountains and volcanoes that stretches across the Pacific Ocean.
What are Hawaii Honolulu landforms?
The entire Hawaiian Island chain is part of an underwater mountain range That stretches for thousands of miles form southwest to northeast. Each of the states Islands are the tops of these mountains. For instance on the Big Island of Hawaii there is Mauna Loa which when measured from the ocean floor is the worlds largest mountain. Mauna Kea also on the Big Island is the worlds tallest mountain when measured from the ocean floor. On Maui there is Haliakala. Others are Kilauea, Kohala and Hualalai.

Is a mid ocean ridge a long narrow depression located in a deep ocean basin?
No. A mid-ocean ridge is a chain of mountains and volcanoes in an ocean basin at a site of sea floor spreading.
Do the ocean has mountains and valleys?
Yes the ocean floor has mountains and deep trenches.
Are there any mountains on the ocean floor on the ocean floor?
Derr! there called sea mount's.
What prominent feature of the ocean floor is missing from the Sea Floor Spreading Model at this point?
Mountains
What type of geologic feature is the central valley of California how didit form?
The mountains around the valley formed, creating the valley. The Central Valley formed as the mountains rose, the crust forming the Central Valley's floor was bent downward. Slowly, a thick layer of sediment built up the entire valley floor.
