Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seamounts are typically formed from underwater volcanoes. As magma rises from the mantle and erupts on the seafloor, it accumulates over time and forms a large volcano. As the volcano eventually becomes inactive and the surrounding seafloor continues to move, the volcano can become isolated and form a seamount.
