Seamounts are underwater mountains formed by volcanic activity, typically rising more than 1,000 meters (about 3,300 feet) above the surrounding seabed. They are usually found in oceanic plates and can occur individually or in groups. Seamounts can provide important habitats for a variety of marine life, as their summit and slopes create unique ecosystems that attract fish and other organisms due to the availability of nutrients and variations in water currents.
