Where are volcanoes that erupt in both ways located?
Volcanoes that erupt both explosively and effusively are typically located along tectonic plate boundaries, known as subduction zones. Examples include stratovolcanoes in the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, like Mount St. Helens in the United States and Mount Merapi in Indonesia. These volcanoes can have both explosive eruptions, ejecting ash and lava, as well as effusive eruptions with flowing lava.
Are all volcanoes destructive?
Volcanoes are only destructive to people and property when they erupt. Volcanoes can lie dormant for decades before they erupt. The Hawaiian Islands were all formed from eruptions of volcanoes in the ocean.
How can volcanoes errupt under water?
Volcanoes can erupt underwater when magma rises to the surface through a weak spot in the Earth's crust on the ocean floor, known as a mid-ocean ridge or a hotspot. When the magma reaches the cold ocean water, it can cause the water to heat up rapidly, leading to explosive eruptions and the formation of underwater volcanoes.
What is the difference between Compare volcanoes that form on land with volcanoes that form in the ocean.?
Land Volcanoes eat lamas and underwater volcanoes eat camals
Are there any volcanos under water?
Yes, there are underwater volcanoes known as submarine volcanoes. These volcanoes are located on the ocean floor and can be active, creating new seafloor as they erupt. They are often associated with mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.
Do all volcanoes that erupt in the ocean make islands?
yes

Can volcanoes erupt in the ocean?
Yes, volcanoes can erupt in the ocean. If this were not true the Hawaiian islands as well as many other vacation island chains would simply not exist. It is also estimated by National Geographic in "Volcanoes: Natures Inferno" that the oceans conceal some 80% of volcanic activity worldwide.
Do volcanoes erupt in the ocean?
Yes. The majority of the worlds volcanic activity actually happens underwater, primarily at mid-ocean ridges.

What do you think is causing the ocean floor to increase in size?
Sea Floor Spreading and the way the volcanoes erupt make the mountains erode into the ocean.

Yes, there are underwater volcanoes known as submarine volcanoes. These volcanoes are located on the ocean floor and can be active, creating new seafloor as they erupt. They are often associated with mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.
What is the most common place a volcano might erupt?
There is a region in the Pacific Ocean called the Ring of Fire, and it is home to many of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes. It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes. Besides that, many islands and island nations have volcanoes, such as Hawaii and Japan. Also, 80-90% of all volcanoes occur near tectonic plate boundaries that spread apart.
How are volcanoes on spreading ridges and rift zones different from those above descending edges of ocean plates?
Volcanoes on spreading ridges and rift zones are typically shield volcanoes with relatively low viscosity magma that erupts non-explosively. In contrast, volcanoes above descending edges of ocean plates are typically stratovolcanoes with higher viscosity magma that erupts explosively due to trapped gases. The latter are also associated with subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another.
What was the least deadly volcano?
There are many volcanoes that have not killed anyone and are not likely to ever erupt again. Many active volcanoes are under the ocean and unlikely to cause anyone harm. Therefore there are many volcanoes that are pretty much tied for being the least deadly.
