Which ocean has many small scattered islands that were formed from the tips of extinct volcanoes?
The Pacific Ocean has many small scattered islands that were formed from the tips of extinct volcanoes. These types of islands are known as volcanic islands or seamounts and can be found throughout the Pacific's vast expanse.
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots?
Hot spots have generated all types of volcanoes but are most often. If you mean to ask about specific volcanoes, there are too many to count, so a few groups and notable volcanoes will be listed: The volcanoes of Hawaii The volcanoes of the Canary Islands The Yellowstone supervolcano The San Francisco volcanic complex (including Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks) The volcanoes of Iceland (associated with both a hot spot and a divergent plate boundary).
What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
Is basalt found under water and by volcanoes?
yes. some types of basalt is found of volcanoes.
What are some Volcanic islands' names?
well types of volcanoes are shield volcano, composite volcano, and cinder cone volcanoes. the most common type of volcano is the cinder cone volcano.
What types of land forms do volcanoes create when they erupt?
Mountains or islands. Hawaii is a valcano chain.
What types of islands are located in the state of Hawaii?
The entire State of Hawaii consists of volcanic islands.

What are the islands of the Pacific?
The Pacific Islands are all the islands and archipelagos found in the Pacific Ocean. More specifically, in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Not to mention the Hawaii Islands and Midway. Within these four areas are numerous other islands of different types, sizes and other characteristics. They can be somewhat interesting, if you ask me.

How where the hawaiian islands formed?
The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic in origin. Each island is made up of at least one primary volcano, although many islands are composites of more than one. The Big Island, for instance, is constructed of 5 major volcanoes: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, Hualalai and Kohala. Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano on Earth. Kilauea is presently one of the most productive volcanoes on Earth (in terms of how much lava it erupts each year). The primary volcanoes on each of the islands are known as a shield volcanoes, which are gently sloping mountains produced from a large number of generally very fluid lava flows. Hawaiian volcanoes primarily erupt a type of rock known as basalt. When molten, basalt produces liquids of relatively high fluidity, compared to volcanoes that erupt more silica rich magma types such as andesite, dacite or rhyolite. The fluidity of molten basalt favors the formation of lava flows, which is why the Hawaiian volcanoes generally have gentle sloping sides. By contrast, lavas with higher silica content are more viscous and commonly produce either thicker, shorter lava flows, thick blocky deposits and/or thick beds of ash that fall from the sky following explosive eruptions. These other types of volcanoes (common outside of Hawaii) are typically steeper sided. The Hawaiian volcanoes were produced by the Hawaiian hot spot, which is presently under the Big Island of Hawaii. The image below shows the islands of the Hawaiian chain and the intervening shallows, banks and reefs along a line from southeast to northwest. Note that the islands of Lanai and Kahoolawe are not shown because they would "overlap" with Molokai and Maui, respectively (see the map of the Islands on the Hawaiian Volcanoes page) In general, when you move along the island chain from southeast (Hawaii) to northwest, (Kure), the volcanoes become older and older.
