It is estimated that around 50% of underwater volcanoes form calderas, which are large depressions resulting from the collapse of a volcano following a significant eruption. However, the exact number of caldera-type underwater volcanoes is difficult to determine due to the vastness of the ocean and the challenges in exploring deep-sea environments. Researchers continue to study these features using advanced technology, revealing more about their distribution and characteristics.

How many underwater volcanoes are there?
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.
Is mount Krakatoa a shield volcano?
No. Caldera and shield volcanoes are quite different. Shield volcanoes usually undergo effusive eruptions, the least violent type and produce basaltic lava. Caldera forming volcanoes erupt explosively and are the most violent. They generally produce rhyolitic lava.

Underwater volcanoes are called submarine volcanoes. They form in a similar way as their continental counterparts, that is close to plate boundaries.
Why are there different shaped volcanoes?
Different shaped volcanoes occur because of the way the magma flows. Three types of volcanoes are shield, composite, and caldera.
