I didn't know most volcanoes were on islands, but volcanoes do form islands. When a volcano erupts on the ocean floor and pours out it's lava (melted rock), the water cools it quickly into rock. As this happens again and again over time the rock builds up until it reaches the surface of the ocean. Once it breaks through the surface it's called an island. This is how the Hawaiian Islands were formed.
Volcanoes can erupt in any climate. Climate does not affect a volcano's ability to erupt.
they mostly erupt in Hawaii
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.
there lots of diffrent ways slow steady fast .
Volcanoes erupt when there is an earthquake or when there is too much pressure inside it.
Shield volcanoes erupt least violently cinder cone most violently and compost can erupt either way.
No. Most volcanoes have built up into mountains.
Mexico and Central America
No. Volcanoes erupt.
Some do. Most volcanoes will erupt more frequently than that, but some do go 1000 years or more between eruptions.
About 60 volcanoes erupt each year.
An unlimited amount of volcanoes can erupt at once
Volcanoes can erupt at any time of year.
Volcanoes can erupt in any climate. Climate does not affect a volcano's ability to erupt.
Active volcanoes erupt. Dormant volcanoes are quiet - but may erupt again some day. Extinct volcanoes have "closed up shop" for good, and will never erupt again.
Composite volcanoes usually do not erupt mafic material. Intermediate material is the most common. The mafic material they do erupt is usually basalt.
Yes, they are.
