How many volcanic islands are there?

The canary islands are all sitting on the top of an underwater volcano that has been dormant for hundreds of years. I also know that most of the individual islands have there own volcano's and on tenerife it is due to erupt soon as it does every 100 years. So the islands are on the top of a volcano with a volcano on top of most of them.


Can a volcanoe be deystroyed by its own lava?

It is unlikely for a volcano to be destroyed by its own lava. Lava flows typically move slowly enough for people and animals to avoid them, and the volume of lava produced by a volcano is usually not enough to completely submerge and destroy the volcano itself.


What is a somma volcano?

A Volcano that spawns a new cone, partially filling its caldera, is called, a somma volcano. When the new cone outgrows the original caldera, it is given a name of its own. It is the original volcano, the underlying structure, that is known as the somma volcano. These can be, and often are, stratovolcanoes themselves.


In your own words differentiate an active volcano from an in active one?

An active volcano is currently erupting, has erupted recently, or is expected to erupt in the near future based on historical data and monitoring. In contrast, an inactive volcano is considered dormant and has not erupted in a long time, with no current activity or signs of imminent eruption. It is important to note that an inactive volcano can potentially become active again in the future, as the Earth's geological processes are constantly changing.
