Seamounts are underwater mountains that support diverse marine life due to their unique habitats. Common animals found in these areas include various species of fish, such as deep-sea cod and rockfish, as well as invertebrates like sponges, corals, and sea cucumbers. Additionally, they attract larger predators, including sharks and whales, which feed on the abundant fish populations. The rich biodiversity of seamounts makes them critical ecosystems in the ocean.

A sonar device can detect a seamount by sending out sound waves that bounce off the seamount and return to the device. By measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to travel to the seamount and back, the device can calculate the distance to the seamount and create a visual representation of its shape and size.
