What else can I help you with?
What do you call an underwater volcano?
An underwater volcano is called a submarine volcano.
What is an oceanic volcano?
An oceanic volcano is a volcano located on the ocean floor, often forming underwater mountains or seamounts. These volcanoes can be explosive or non-explosive and contribute to the formation of oceanic islands or mid-ocean ridges.
Is a mid-ocean ridge an underwater volcano?
A mid-ocean ridge is not an underwater volcano. It is a long mountain range on the ocean floor formed by plate tectonics. Underwater volcanoes, also known as seamounts, are mountains that form from volcanic activity on the ocean floor.
Where would you find a volcano underwater?
Underwater volcanoes, also known as submarine volcanoes, can be found in the ocean on the ocean floor, typically along mid-ocean ridges or hotspots. They can also be located near convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates are moving towards each other.
What feature on the ocean floor is called?
rift valley
What do you call an underwater volcano?

How are ridges formed on the ocean floor?
Ocean current paths of travel, underwater volcanoes, tectonic plate movement, depends which specific ridges you are talking about.
The ocean floor feature with its characteristic?
Rift zone- Site of crust formationAbyssal plain- Very flat part of ocean floorSubmarine canyon- Part of the continental marginGuyot- Flat-topped, underwater mountain.

What are the features of the ocean floor?
The ocean floor is irregular as to the land we can see. It has mountains and ridges and plains and valleys and volcanoes. It even has underwater earthquakes, and just about every other land feature you could name.
What ocean floor feature is formed by movement of earths plate?
what other ocean floor feature is fromed by movement of earth's plates
Match the ocean-floor feature with its characteristic?
Rift Zone: Site of crust formation Abyssal Plain: Very flat part of ocean floor Guyots: Flat-topped, underwater mountains Submarine canyons: Part of the continental margins :D
What other ocean floor feature is formed by movement of Earth's plates?
what other ocean floor feature is fromed by movement of earth's plates
The feature on the ocean floor at C is called a?
deep ocean trench

How do scientists study the ocean?
They send underwater submarines to study the ocean floor.
