Most underwater volcanoes are found at mid ocean ridges and erupt basaltic lava in a form called pillow basalts. The volcanoes at mid ocean ridges contribute to sea floor spreading. Volcanoes that develop underwater at hot spots or subduction zones are likely to build up into island

What are facts about shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes were named by Mary Dyre of Boston in 1890. After seeing an explosive eruption wipe out her village, she trekked up the mountain and realized that its shape was like that of a shield. Then, a crazed Indian leaped out of a bush and pushed her down into the crater, where there was still a remainder of hot, bubbling lava.Shield volcanoes were named after Mary Dyre of Boston in1890.

What are three facts about composite volcanoes?
Multiple eruptions form composite volcanoes. Andesite magma is the most common type of magma that erupts from composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes can grow so high that their slopes become unstable and collapse.
What are facts about under water volcano's?
Underwater volcanoes, also known as seamounts, are formed when magma erupts through the oceanic crust. They are common near tectonic plate boundaries and can create new land formations. Underwater volcanoes provide a habitat for unique marine life and play a role in the Earth's geologic processes.

What are facts about strato volcanoes?
Did you know that composite volcanoes make up 60% of the Earths volcanoes. Composite volcanoes don't always have to erupt from the top. They can have many magma chambers and can erupt from the sides. They can be made of basalt, rhyolite and/or andesite. They erupt both ash and lava. The lava is very thick. When the time comes for the volcano to erupt they start to become very quiet. (Sneaky eh?)
