| Seamounts whose peaks have eroded and become a flat surface are called guyots. |
| These data indicate that guyots originate as volcanic islands at the shallow crests of mid-oceanic ridges and rises. |
| The Cretaceous guyots may have resulted from the northward drift of seamounts and reefs on the Pacific Plate away from the tropical zone of favourable growth. |
| After the war he continued researching guyots and midocean ridges, as well as various mineral studies. |
| As the ocean crust spread away from the higher ocean ridges, the guyots sank below sea level, becoming completely submerged. |
| These flat-topped seamounts are called guyots. |
