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.
