Island
An underwater volcano is called a submarine volcano.
seamount
A seamount is an underwater mountain that rises from the ocean floor. It can rise above sea level through volcanic activity or tectonic movements, pushing the seamount higher and eventually breaking the surface of the water.

SeaMount
A seamount is an underwater mountain formed by volcanic activity, while a volcanic island is a landmass that rises above the ocean's surface due to volcanic eruptions. Seamounts can eventually grow to become volcanic islands if the volcanic activity continues and brings the seamount above the water level.
No, land that rises high above ground level is called a mountain or a mountain range. A plateau is a flat-topped elevated landform that is higher than the surrounding area.
A seamount forms through volcanic activity, where magma rises from beneath the Earth's crust to create a mountain-like structure on the ocean floor. Over time, as the volcano becomes inactive and cools, it sinks below the ocean surface but remains as a seamount.
A landform that rises more than 2000 feet, 610 meters above sea level to a narrow peak is called a mountain. As the elevation continues to reach higher, the climate become colder than at sea level.
An undersea volcanic formation that rises at least 1,000 meters above the surrounding seafloor is called a seamount. Seamounts are typically formed by volcanic activity and can host diverse marine ecosystems. They often serve as important habitats for various marine species and may influence local ocean currents. Some seamounts can eventually emerge as islands if they grow tall enough above sea level.
A seamount is formed by volcanic activity beneath the ocean's surface, where magma rises and solidifies to create a mountain-like structure. Over time, the seamount can grow larger through continued volcanic eruptions or tectonic plate movement. As the seamount ages, it may eventually become extinct and eroded by ocean currents, forming a flat-topped seamount called a guyot.
i dont understand???
