WHAT DOES GUYOT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Guyot

A guyot /ɡiːˈjoʊ/, also known as a tablemount, is an isolated underwater volcanic mountain, with a flat top over 200 metres below the surface of the sea. The diameters of these flat summits can exceed 10 km. The guyot was named after the Swiss-American geographer and geologist Arnold Henry Guyot. The term was coined by Harry Hammond Hess. Guyots are most commonly found in the Pacific Ocean. Guyots show evidence of having been above the surface with gradual subsidence through stages from fringed reefed mountain, coral atoll, and finally a flat topped submerged mountain. Their flatness is due to erosion by waves, winds, and atmospheric processes. The steepness gradient of most guyots is about 20 degrees. To technically be considered a guyot or tablemount, they must stand at least 3000 ft tall. However, there are many undersea mounts that can range from just less than 300 ft to around 3000 ft. Very large oceanic volcanic constructions, hundreds of km across, are called oceanic plateaus. Seamounts are made by extrusion of lavas piped upward in stages from sources within the Earth's mantle to vents on the seafloor.
