Because the magma is erupted into the cold water, the outside of the flow quickly cools and solidifies into a hard shell which causes the backside flow to seek a new, less resistant pathway. When the flow is pinched off before re-routing, a bulbous pillow shaped, rapidly cooling blob is formed. Most of the ocean floor laying under layers of sediment and sedimentary rock, is formed from masses of pillow lavas (basalt).
