Guyot description |
---|
A guyot (pronounced ), also known as a tablemount, is an isolated underwater volcanic mountain (seamount), with a flat top over 200 m (660 ft) below the surface of the sea. The diameters of these flat summits can exceed 10 km (6.2 mi). There are 283 guyots in the world's oceans, with the North Pacific having 119, South Pacific 77, South Atlantic 43, Indian Ocean 28, North Atlantic 8, Southern Ocean 6 and the Mediterranean 2 guyots. There are none in the Arctic Ocean. Guyots are much larger in area (mean of 3,313 km2) than seamounts (mean area of 790 km2).The guyot was named after the Swiss-American geographer and geologist Arnold Henry Guyot (died 1884). The term was coined by Harry Hammond Hess. Guyots are most commonly found in the Pacific Ocean. Guyots show evidence of having been above the surface with gradual subsidence through stages from fringed reefed mountain, coral atoll, and finally a flat topped submerged mountain. The steepness gradient of most guyots is about 20 degrees. |
