Under water volcano?

One of the most active areas for volcanoes found under the sea is known as Pacific Rim of Fire. This area has many volcanoes that could have a devastating effect if they erupt on areas including the Philippines.


What do volcanoes have to do with rocks?

Volcanoes form when molten rock, called magma, rises to the surface of the Earth and erupts. This magma can be made up of different types of rocks, such as basalt or andesite. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks like basalt, rhyolite, or obsidian, which are commonly found around volcanic areas.


Example of Rift Volcanoes?

Some examples of rift volcanoes include those found along the East African Rift Valley, such as Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. These volcanoes are formed along the divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise to the surface and create volcanic activity.


How many volcanoes erupted so far?

well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:


Why are the crystals in pillow basalt smaller than the crystals in basalt that forms in the ground?

Pillow basalt is formed from solidifying lava which erupts under the surface of a body of water. Because of this, it cools much faster, allowing less time for crystal growth.

Why does basalt rocks cool slowly?

Basalt cools off quickly because it is formed under water.


Why are the basalt that were born in water are smaller than the ones on ground?

I am not sure what you mean by "smaller" BUT - Most piles of basalt on the planet (eg hawaii) are in water - Indeed the whole oceanic seafloor is basalt, so there is more basalt in water than ALL the basalt to be found on land.
