  • Seamounts: Understanding Underwater Volcanoes & Guyots
    Large volcanoes that rise from the sea floor are called seamounts.

    Here's some additional information:

    * Seamounts are underwater mountains that don't reach the surface of the ocean. They are often formed by volcanic activity and can be found in all the world's oceans.

    * Guyots are a specific type of seamount that have a flat top. This flat top is usually the result of erosion by waves when the volcano was once above sea level.

    * Volcanic islands are volcanoes that have risen above the sea level and formed islands.

    I hope this helps!
