when a volcano is active, over its life time (thousands of years longer than ours) it 'erupts' or 'oozes' magma/lava onto the top crustal layer of the earth, every time this happens over those thousands of years, it gets a little bit higher as more and more material builds up from the previous times the material was deposited from lava flows and violent euptions and ash clouds. You can 'go back in time' in a way by going to Hawaii islands or white island -New Zealand (one of the youngest and most active volcanic regions of earth) and see this process take place for a fraction of a second (which is the scale of how much of the entire process you would see if the process lasted for a few hours!)
Lana'i does not have a volcano. It is actually a volcanic island that was formed by a single shield volcano.
It was an explosion from the island Surtur
Deception Island is a caldera volcano, which is formed when the top of a volcano collapses into the emptied magma chamber below. It is a type of stratovolcano located in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica.
It is formed by a convergent boundary of an oceanic plate and continental plate when they hit each other and goes down into the asthenosphere thus making the magma to rise above the earth's surface making a volcano.Then it solidifies and therefore it makes a volcano island.
a belt of volcanoes is called an island arc, they are formed from Hotspots/Mantle Plumes
volcano
formed by a volcano i think erruption
The island in Crater, called Wizard Island was formed by small volcanic eruptions that occurred after the Crater Lake caldera formed but before the volcano went extinct.
No. It is on the island of Luzon.

Stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, and complex volcanoes have all formed islands.
the volcano cooled is liquid magma and made and island. this is really true
It was an explosion from the island Surtur
The largest active volcano on the planet is Mauna Loa, which is found on an island called Big Island, in Hawaii.The volcano actually starts underwater and the island itself has been formed by lava cooling in the sea.
Deception Island is a caldera volcano, which is formed when the top of a volcano collapses into the emptied magma chamber below. It is a type of stratovolcano located in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica.
Bora Bora exemplifies what Charles Darwin called an "almost atoll," a barrier reef island formed by an oceanic volcano with a fringing coral reef. Over the course of the years, as the surrounding coral reef grows upward, the island with the volcano sinks.
It is 32Kms south of Iceland, a new island formed in 1963
