Above a hot spot under an oceanic plate, large quantities of lava continually erupt through the seafloor. If the lava builds up to an elevation greater than sea level, what type of landform will result
-
a volcanic island
-
When the lava reacts with the cold sea water it begins to solidify. Over time a large mountain chain will begin to build up. An example of this would be the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
