They are usually volcanic in nature but sumtimes they are caused by tectonic activity.
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.
A seamount forms through volcanic activity, where magma rises from beneath the Earth's crust to create a mountain-like structure on the ocean floor. Over time, as the volcano becomes inactive and cools, it sinks below the ocean surface but remains as a seamount.
seamount
A seamount is an underwater mountain that rises from the ocean floor. It can rise above sea level through volcanic activity or tectonic movements, pushing the seamount higher and eventually breaking the surface of the water.
A seamount is formed by volcanic activity under the ocean's surface, where magma rises and solidifies to create a mountain. Over time, the seamount can grow as more lava erupts and accumulates. Geological processes like plate tectonics and hotspot volcanism contribute to the formation of seamounts.
Buddha's Seamount was created in 2012.
Muirfield Seamount was created in 1973.

Lōʻihi Seamount was created in 1940.
Louisville seamount chain was created in 1972.
South Chamorro Seamount was created in 1977.
Great Meteor Seamount was created in 1938.

One possibility is Makarov Seamount at a height of 3,950m with a depth of 5,250m.
As the Meiji Seamount approaches the Asian Plate, it will encourage deterioration. It is estimated that the Seamount will be completely deteriorated within a few million years.
The volcano is a sheild, undersea or also called a seamount volcano.
The root of a mountain is the thickest.
