Undersea banks

Undersea banks, also known as underwater banks or sea mounts, refer to underwater topographical features that rise from the ocean floor but do not reach the surface of the water. These features can take the form of banks, reefs, or hills and are typically formed through geological processes such as volcanic activity or sedimentation. In a broader context, the term "undersea banks" can also refer to areas of the ocean that have significant biological, geological, or chemical resources.
