Can a volcano erupt under water?

Answer 1

The tectonic plates move under the earth causing an eruption. This is the same basis for both under water and above water volcanoes. These volcanoes are officially called submarine volcanoes. They account for 75% of all magma produced by volcanoes. AND BOOOOOM

Answer 2

The heat comes from within the earth. As you go deeper underground the hotter it gets, this is called the geothermal gradient. For most volcano the magma comes form the mantle which is very hot.

Answer 3

Yes, volcanoes can erupt underwater. These underwater volcanic eruptions are called submarine volcanoes. They occur along mid-ocean ridges or in areas of volcanic activity known as subduction zones. When a submarine volcano erupts, it can create underwater lava flows, ash clouds, and even new seafloor formations.

Answer 4

yes a volcano can erupt under water there are tons of under water volcanoes but you wouldn't find any around here.most volcanoes are in really hot climate's like Hawaii or elsalvsador

Answer 5
