Question

which term is described as a seamount with a flattened top?
guyots
abyssal plains
deep - sea trenches
continental shelf

Explanation:

• Guyots: These are underwater volcanic mountains (seamounts) with flat tops. The flat top is formed due to erosion when the seamount was near sea - level, and then it subsided.
• Abyssal plains: These are flat, deep - ocean floors, not related to seamounts.
• Deep - sea trenches: These are long, narrow depressions in the ocean floor, formed by subduction, not seamounts.
• Continental shelf: This is the gently sloping extension of a continent under the ocean, not a seamount.

Answer:

guyots
