Vlinder Guyot (also known as Alba Seamount) is a guyot in the Western Pacific Ocean. It rises to a depth of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) and has a flat top covering an area of 40 by 50 kilometres (25 mi × 31 mi). On top of this flat top lie some volcanic cones, one of which rises to a depth of 551 metres (1,808 ft) below sea level.
The seamount was volcanically active during the Cretaceous-Paleogene [9] 91.3 million years ago [10] and may have formed on a hotspot together with Ioah Guyot and Vlinder Guyot; [11] a late phase of volcanism may have taken place in the Paleocene-Eocene. [12] The hotspots that formed Pako Guyot were located in what is today French Polynesia. [6]
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.
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).
Ioah Guyot is a seamount in the Pacific Ocean, close to the Marshall Islands. [2] Part of the Magellan Seamounts , it is a shield volcano that has erupted alkali basalt and hawaiite 87 million years ago, but may have continued erupting into the Miocene .
It has a flat top [7] at a depth of 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) [11] and has been described as a sunken atoll, [7] with a relief of about 100 metres (330 ft). [8] Karst features occur on the seamount and are up to 200 metres (660 ft) deep, [7] including dolines and sinkholes. [12] The outer slopes of MIT Guyot are steep, a typical trait for guyot ...
Daiichi-Kashima is a 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) high and 50 kilometres (31 mi) wide [1] guyot [7] and rises to a depth of 3,540 metres (11,610 ft). [8] On the eastern part of the volcano lies an at least 0.6 kilometres (0.37 mi) thick platform of clay and reef limestone [1] with traces of past barrier reefs at its margins. [9]
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]
