Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seamounts are volcano-shaped mountains that rise from the seabed but do not reach the surface. They are also known as submerged volcanoes or underwater mountains. Mid-ocean ridges are continuous underwater mountain ranges that form at divergent plate boundaries, fracture zones are linear tectonic features where there is a break in the ocean floor due to transform faults, and continental rises are gently sloping areas found at the base of continental slopes.
