Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Seamounts and Guyots are volcanoes that have built up from the ocean floor, sometimes to sea level or above. Guyots are seamounts that have built above sea level. Erosion by waves destroyed the top of the seamount resulting in a flattened shape.
Detailed explanation-2: -But seamounts that erupt and grow to reach the surface have their conical tops flattened as a result of both erosion and coral reef growth. When these flat-topped seamounts eventually sink back down to deep water, they are called guyots.
