Answer:
hyyyyy mate here is ur answer
A Seamount is a mountain that rises up from the ocean floor, but is below sea level. (above sea level, it would be considered an island). It is often created by volcanic activity.
A Guyot is usually an extinct volcano that had, at one time, been above the surface that has weathered away.
As it erodes, the top becomes flat. Over time, the sea floor moves away from oceanic ridges and the guyot sinks below the ocean surface.
hope this helps you mate
Explanation:
Guyots are seamounts that have built above sea level. Erosion by waves destroyed the top of the seamount resulting in a flattened shape. Due to the movement of the ocean floor away from oceanic ridges, the sea floor gradually sinks and the flattened guyots are submerged to become undersea flat-topped peaks.
