Two active volcanoes in the Atlantic Ocean are Mount Teide in the Canary Islands and Kick 'em Jenny located underwater near Grenada in the Lesser Antilles.
There are approximately 1,500 active volcanoes in the world, and around 90% of them are located in the oceans. The majority of these underwater volcanoes are found along tectonic plate boundaries in regions known as the Ring of Fire and the Mid-Ocean Ridge.
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.
Underwater volcanoes are called submarine volcanoes. They form in a similar way as their continental counterparts, that is close to plate boundaries.
There are currently no active volcanoes in the Atlantic Ocean. The last known eruption in the Atlantic occurred in 2011 at El Hierro, one of the Canary Islands. Other volcanic islands in the Atlantic, like Iceland and the Azores, have experienced historical eruptions but are not currently active.
Yes, a string of dozens of volcanoes were found in the ocean in 2011. Several of them have been active.

Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.

There are no active volcanoes on the Australian mainland. Possibly the nearest active volcanoes to Warrnambool (on Victoria's southern coast) are Ruapehu in New Zealand and the volcano on Heard and McDonald Islands in the sourthen Indian Ocean.

No. There are no volcanoes in or near Sydney. There are no active volcanoes on the mainland of Australia, and the closest Australia has to an active volcano is on Heard Island, an outlying territory of Australia in the southern Indian Ocean.
Underwater mountian ranges/ underwater volcanoes
It is estimated that there are over 1 million underwater volcanoes in the world, with the majority of them located along mid-ocean ridges. Due to their remote locations and the vastness of the ocean, many underwater volcanoes remain unexplored and undocumented.
