Geology

The Gifford guyots are two flat‐topped basaltic[3] seamounts, now caped with carbonate sediments with the larger Gifford Guyot dated at 15.6 million years ago[3] but the smaller unnamed seamount of unknown age. They both raise from an abyssal plain Шаблон:Convert below sea level to generally flat summits that are about Шаблон:Convert below sea level. This summit plateau is about Шаблон:Convert for the unnamed guyot), and Шаблон:Convert in area for Gifford Guyot itself.[4]
