Guyots form through volcanic activity on the seafloor. Initially, these underwater volcanoes build up to create islands, but over time as they erode and sink, they flatten out to form guyots. The flat tops of guyots are due to wave action eroding the former islands at sea level.

Why saemounts and guyots increase in ace and depth with increased distance from the oceanic ridges and rises?

the sea-mounts and guyots move away form mid-ocean ridges over time due to plate motions. As they get older they get colder and less buoyant (they float on the mantle) and sink. All of this take a very long time.

How does a guyot form?

A guyot is a volcano built up from the sea floor, sometimes to sea level or above. The sea floor gradually sinks an flattens guyots are submerged to become undersea flat topped peaks. Guyots are chiefly found in the Pacific ocean. Seamounts (Guyots) are formed by volcanic activity and can be taller than 3,000 meters (10,000 ft.) They can be isolated or large parts of mountain chains. The New England Seamount contains more than thirty peaks that stretch 1,600 kilometers (about 994 miles) from the coast of New England.
