A volcanic eruption underwater is called a submarine volcanic eruption. By contrast, a volcanic eruption on land is called a subaerial eruption.
Submerged underwater volcanoes are referred to as submarine volcanoes or seamounts. These volcanic structures can be found on the ocean floor and may rise from the seabed to create underwater mountains.
A large number of volcanoes form along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where the earth's crust is weak and molten rock (magma) can rise to the surface. These boundary regions include areas such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the East African Rift.
Volcanoes that are underwater, known as submarine volcanoes. The deepest one is the Submarine 1922 in the Celebes Sea near the Sanghie Islands of Indonesia, and it is 16,000 feet (5,000 meters) below sea level.
Seamounts and underwater volcanoes are structures on the ocean floor that can be equivalent to mountains on land. These features are created by volcanic activity and can rise thousands of feet from the ocean floor, resembling the towering heights of mountains on land.
Examples of landforms that rise above the ocean floor include islands, seamounts, and ridges. Islands are areas of land completely surrounded by water, while seamounts are underwater mountains that peak above the ocean floor. Ridges are long, elevated areas that can stretch for thousands of kilometers along the ocean floor.
The ocean floor feature that consist of chains of individual volcanoes is called mid ocean ridges. This ridge can rise from 1 to 3 kilometers above the ocean basin.

An undersea volcanic formation that doesn't rise 1000 meters above the surrounding sea floor is called a seamount.

Composite volcanoes are also called stratovolcanoes. They may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases and are generally much taller and wider than regular volcanoes.

Floor 13 is missing from many high rise buildings.
An undersea volcanic formation that does not rise at least 1000 meters above the surrounding sea floor is called a seamount. These underwater mountains are formed by volcanic activity and can vary in size and shape.
sea knoll
its called a stalagtite when it hangs from the ceiling and a stalagmite when it rises from the floor
The flat part of the ocean floor is called the abyssal plain. It is a smooth, flat region that lies between the continental rise and the mid-ocean ridges.
