As volcanoes erupt, they build up layers of lava that may eventually break the water's surface. When the tops of the volcanoes appear above the water, an island is formed. While the volcano is still beneath the ocean surface, it is called a seamount. Oceanic islands can form from different types of volcanoes.

This land, when surrounded by water, is called an island. Another way an island landform can be made is through deposits of sand that came from erosion.

0.00288 cm

Explanation:

Data:

Earth circumference :  40,075 km = 4.0075e+9 cm

warm air stays below cold air:the troposphere is heated from the ground, so temperature decreases with altitude. Because warm air rises and cool air sinks.

the lower atmosphere is heated by the ground:*the troposphere is heated from the ground*

the troposphere is a stable layer:*the troposphere is unstable*

ozone blocks the sunlight:*in the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude.The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which protects the planet from the Sun’s harmful UV radiation*
