Detailed explanation-1: -Seamounts are underwater mountains that rise hundreds or thousands of feet from the seafloor. They are generally extinct volcanoes that, while active, created piles of lava that sometimes break the ocean surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -A seamount is an underwater mountain formed by volcanic activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a volcano does not reach the surface of the ocean, it is called a seamount. If a volcano grows in height and volume enough to reach the ocean’s surface, it becomes a volcanic island (like the islands of Hawaii).

Detailed explanation-4: -seamount, large submarine volcanic mountain rising at least 1, 000 m (3, 300 feet) above the surrounding deep-sea floor; smaller submarine volcanoes are called sea knolls, and flat-topped seamounts are called guyots.
