 Seamount

A seamount is an underwater mountain that rises from the ocean floor but does not reach the surface of the water. Seamounts are typically formed by volcanic activity and are usually found in oceanic regions. They can vary in height and size, and they often have steep slopes, with some reaching significant elevations above the surrounding sea floor. Seamounts can serve as important habitats for marine life, providing unique ecosystems that support a variety of species, including corals, fish, and other organisms.
