The Bear Seamount (left), a guyot in the northern Atlantic Ocean. In marine geology, a guyot (/ ˈ ɡ iː. oʊ, ɡ iː ˈ oʊ /), [1] [2] also called a tablemount, is an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200 m (660 ft) below the surface of the sea. [3] The diameters of these flat summits can exceed 10 km (6 mi). [3]
If the boat operator does not disengage the motor when picking up a tube rider from the water, there is a chance that the body of the person in the water could get caught in the motor. [22] This can cause body disfigurement or even death depending on the severity of the injury and the time until proper medical attention is received.
Resolution Guyot (formerly known as Huevo) is a guyot (tablemount) in the underwater Mid-Pacific Mountains in the Pacific Ocean. It is a circular flat mountain, rising 500 metres (1,600 ft) above the seafloor to a depth of about 1,320 metres (4,330 ft), with a 35-kilometre-wide (22-mile) summit platform.
Cape Johnson Guyot is also known as Cape Johnson Seamount or Cape Johnson Tablemount. [2] The guyot was named by Harry Hammond Hess, after his ship the USS Cape Johnson; Hess had also named the kind of flat-topped seamount "guyot" and another seamount was named after Hess himself. [3] The seamount was first described in a 1946 publication. [4]
Darwin Guyot is a volcanic underwater mountain top, or guyot, in the Mid-Pacific Mountains between the Marshall Islands and Hawaii.Named after Charles Darwin, it rose above sea level more than 118 million years ago during the early Cretaceous period to become an atoll, developed rudist reefs, and then drowned, perhaps as a consequence of sea level rise.
Horizon Guyot is a presumably Cretaceous guyot (tablemount) in the Mid-Pacific Mountains, Pacific Ocean.It is an elongated ridge, over 300 kilometres (190 mi) long and 4.3 kilometres (2.7 mi) high, that stretches in a northeast–southwest direction and has two flat tops; it rises to a minimum depth of 1,443 metres (4,730 ft).
Allison Guyot (formerly known as Navoceano Guyot) is a tablemount in the underwater Mid-Pacific Mountains of the Pacific Ocean.It is a trapezoidal flat mountain rising 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) above the seafloor to a depth of less than 1,500 metres (4,900 ft), with a summit platform 35 by 70 kilometres (22 by 43 mi) wide.
The seamount lies in the Western Pacific Ocean [3] northwest of Marcus Island [5] and about halfway between Japan and the Marshall Islands. [6] The Marcus-Wake Seamounts lie nearby, [3] but MIT Guyot is a more isolated volcanic edifice [2] that is sometimes considered to be a member of the Japanese Seamounts. [7]
