Indeed it can!

a perfect example is Hawaii, it is a direct result of a 'hot spot' which is a result of plate tectonics.

Can Volcanic eruptions cause new land?

Yes, volcanic eruptions can create new land through the process of lava flow and ash deposition. When a volcano erupts, molten lava can solidify upon cooling, forming new rock and landforms. Over time, repeated eruptions can build up significant land masses, such as islands or mountains, exemplified by the formation of the Hawaiian Islands. Additionally, volcanic ash can enrich soil, promoting vegetation and further altering the landscape.


How do volcanoes form tsunamis?

When a volcano erupts, it will cause shockwaves to be radiated out due to the impact. The shockwaves will cause waves to form and travel at high speeds. When it approaches the coastlines, the waves will start to get higher as the seafloor gets shallower, causing a tsunami.


What is the most common cause of tsunamis?

Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean.


What are the advantages of volcanic eruptions?

Volcanic eruptions can be seen as pressure release valves for the earth. The volcanic eruptions release gases into our atmosphere. In fact without volcanoes we would have no atmosphere at all.


How are volcanic eruption useful?

Volcanic eruptions are useful in creating new land through the deposition of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials. They also enrich the soil with nutrients, which can be beneficial for agriculture. Additionally, volcanic eruptions release gases that contribute to the Earth's atmosphere and can influence climate.
