What else can I help you with?
What causes seamounts?
They are formed usually from extinct volcanoes
What are seamounts?
A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean seafloor that does not reach to the water's surface (sea level), and thus is not an island.
What is the root word for difference?
Differ.
How do you use the word differs?
Use it as a verb. Shelly differs from Mary
What is an example of a sentence using the word differ?
I differ with your argument that all fatty foods are bad to eat.Though I do agree with you, I differ with you on some points.
What are some ocean landforms?
Abyssal plains,seamounts,guyots,and contenintal slopes.
Flat-topped seamounts which exhibit prior surface erosion are called?
Guyot
What are unusual flat-topped seamounts in the ocean called?
Unusual flat-topped seamounts in the ocean are called Guyots. Guyots are submerged volcanic mountains with a flat top that has been eroded by waves and currents over time.
What seamounts with peaks eroded away by waves to create flat tops?
Guyots are seamounts with flat tops that have been eroded by wave action. This erosion typically occurs when seamounts subside and move away from the mid-ocean ridge, entering shallower waters where wave erosion can shape their peaks into flat surfaces.
What things are similar to plateaus?
guyots
Submerged basaltic volcanoes that are higher than 1 km are called?
Basalt volcanoes are referred to as shield volcanoes. Volcanoes of this type include Mauna Loa and Kilauea, both in Hawaii.
Are mountains found only on the continents?
No, mountains can also be found on the ocean floor. These underwater mountains are known as seamounts or guyots. They are formed by volcanic activity and can rise thousands of feet from the ocean floor.
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.
What are similar to plateaus?
guyots
What are guyots?
Guyots are underwater volcanic mountains with flat tops that are submerged beneath the ocean's surface. They are formed through the process of volcanic activity followed by erosion and subsidence. Guyots can be found in all the world's oceans.
What animals live in underwater guyots?
crabs
How do guyots form?
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.
