The active volcanoes under the Philippines are part of the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire and the Pacific Plate are where the majority of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.

yes. but you will find that the deeper the area is, the higher and less active the volcanoes are. in the great barrier reef there are some volcanoes that go up to 50 feet tall


Why are under water volcanoes more active?

Oceanic plates are much thinner than continental ones. Thus, their surface is closer to the upper mantle, which is where the magma in volcanoes comes from, and it is easier for lava to reach that distance up to form volcanoes.
