Compare seamounts and guyots. How do the two features differ?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Both are submarine volcanoes growing upwards from the ocean floor above an elevated ocean ridge or hot spot. However, most seamounts do not have a long enough eruptive history to emerge from the ocean (though some can form volcanic islands). Guyots were volcanic islands that were carried away from the location of their formation, subsiding as they move away from that location, and that have been eroded down by wave action. Guyots generally have flat tops.
