Definition
An underwater mountain or volcano that rises from the ocean floor but does not reach the water surface. These isolated peaks create unique habitats for marine life in the deep sea.
Etymology
A compound word combining 'sea' and 'mount' (mountain), first used in oceanographic literature in the mid-20th century as underwater mapping technology improved.
Kelly Says
Seamounts are like oases in the deep ocean desert, creating upwelling currents that bring nutrients to the surface and attract incredible biodiversity! There are an estimated 100,000 seamounts worldwide, but less than 0.1% have been explored.
