A guyot, also known as a tablemount, is a flat-topped
seamount. 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. Guyots are very commonly found in the
Pacific Ocean, and are considered to be extinct
volcanoes. The
Emperor Seamounts are an excellent example of an entire volcanic chain undergoing this process and contain many guyots among their other examples.
