guyots

🗣️

DEFINITION

isolated underwater volcanic mountains with flat tops submerged below the ocean surface

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Oceanographers use sonar mapping technology to locate and study guyots rising from the deep abyssal plains of the ocean floor. Unlike sharp volcanic seamounts, guyots feature flat summits created by ancient wave erosion before they sank beneath the sea. Marine biologists discovered unique coral communities and deep-sea organisms inhabiting the rocky slopes of Pacific guyots. Geologists analyze rock samples collected from guyots to understand the historical movement and subsidence of oceanic tectonic plates. The flat tops of these ancient underwater guyots lie hundreds of meters below the surface of the open sea.
