| Definitionskos:definition | Any geographically isolated topographic unit on the seafloor taller than 1000 m. Most seamounts are formed by igneous activity close to mid-ocean ridges, island arcs, or in mid-plate settings, although blocks of continental crust, stranded during the opening of ocean basins, can form nonvolcanic seamounts (Harff et al., 2016; Harris and Baker, 2020). Cf. "seamount" in Harris et al., (2014). |
