Príklady seamount

• The group was studying seamounts in the ocean south of New Caledonia.

• Waves break when they hit an underwater obstruction like a reef or seamount.

• These fish live in the open ocean and return to the seamounts to breed.

• The collected samples consist of drilled ocean floor basalts from all three seamounts.

• In-depth studies have given scientists a detailed view of the seamount's internal structure.

• The province consists of more than 50 seamounts, up to 4500mft -2 in height, within a 1080000km2 -2 area.

• All the seamounts in the group are complex northeast-southwest trending structures, consisting of parallel ridges separated by sediment-filled troughs.

• Interestingly, 13 species have been identified in other areas, but never in other seamounts.

• The drilling penetrated 283mft 0 into the seamount's volcanic rock, and recovered at least 25 different hardened lava flows.

• They may live around features, such as seamounts, which have strong currents.

• The seamounts are likely to be a source of larvae that maintains the population of the species in nearby, sub-optimal areas, known as sinks.

• Two formations associated with submarine eruptions are seamounts and pillow lavas.

• Many submarine volcanoes are seamounts, typically extinct volcanoes that rise abruptly from a seafloor of 1,000 - 4,000 meters depth.

• Just as the ocean surface rises over denser seamounts, the salt flat surface also rises and falls to reflect the subsurface density variations.

• Catch records suggest that this species may cover long distances in oceanic waters along underwater ridges or hopping between seamounts.

• The rise contains a number of seamounts, some of which have flat summits, indicating exposure above the sea surface at some time.

• Most of these fish are caught by deep trawlers near seamounts, where they congregate because of food.

• They occur in lagoons, reefs, or around seamounts.
