Answer:

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.

Answer:

Islands can also be formed when continental plates collide. When they collide they push land up creating an underwater mountain that goes above land. 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.

solniwko [45]
<span>For the answer to the question above, imagine they are traveling at approximately 17,500mph, at a tangent to the Earth, so, in absence of gravity, would be propelled away from the Earth like a slingshot. But the Earth's gravity pulls them in at the same rate, so that the net effect is zero, and they circle the Earth instead of flying off at the tangent.</span>
