Is it physically plausible to create a significant amount of new land in the middle of the ocean?

Perhaps by channeling lava flows, or maybe using anchored rafts for crop growing?

Possible? Probably. A good idea? Fuck no. Why the fuck would you want to do that. One natural disaster and you are wiped into the ocean.

I feel like you could append lava to certain coastlines where volcanos naturally occur. Though of course it would require something that doesn't melt when exposed to lava

if you did it that way it would be totally structurally sound

also if you just did it for growing food, that wouldn't be a concern

those are for military strategy though, not farming/living.

also it would be literally 100000000x easier to turn all the arid areas on earth green, than it would be to create a Japan's worth of new land.

there's still tons of land on earth, it's just lifeless white desert. low hanging fruit first.

Sum dey
>Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai - named after the two islands it is nestled between - was born in December 2014 after a submarine volcano erupted, sending a stream of steam, ash and rock into the air.
When the ash finally settled, it interacted with the seawater and solidified. A month later, the new island was formed.

Everyone knows its been done. China and Qatar have made artificial islands. Theres no big science to it, just pile a lot of rocks on the botton of the ocean.

You are changing the goalposts. First it was about creating new land, now you are asking for extra qualities, extra purpose, justifications and copes.
Short answer yes its possible but currently useless. No, growing food is not a good use. Growing food is an economic activity, it makes no sense to spend infinity resources to get 1 carrot.
