Submarine volcanoes are volcanic structures that are located on the ocean floor. Unlike terrestrial volcanoes that erupt above water, submarine volcanoes can be found at various depths beneath the ocean surface and can be either active, dormant, or extinct. They are formed through the same geological processes as other volcanoes, with magma rising from the Earth's mantle and erupting to create new landforms, such as seamounts or volcanic islands.
