Flat-topped seamounts called guyots are formed when volcanic islands subside and are eroded over time.

The statement is true.

During their evolution over geologic time, the largest seamounts can also reach the sea surface where wave action erodes the summit to form a flat surface. After they have subsided and sunk underneath the sea surface such flat-top seamounts are called "guyots" or "table mounts".

While these flat-topped seamounts sooner or later sink back down to deep water, they're called guyots. Of all of the seamounts inside the Pacific, guyots have the maximum varied geology and consequently the maximum varied habitats for animals to stay.

But as quickly as a volcano breaches the ocean floor, waves and other sub-aerial methods (wind, rainfall, weathering) will motivate erosion of the volcano. over time, those processes will erode the flanks and top of the seamount/island, ultimately forming a flat shelf to form a guyot.

Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in orbit is 33 km/s. When it is closest to
Natalka [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Kepler's second law states that for a planet orbiting a star, if we join the planet and the star by an imaginary line, such line sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Let's imagine the planetary orbit is elliptical. When the planet is closest to the star it travels a large distance in its orbit but takes little time to travel. When the planet is furthest from the star, it travels a small distance in the orbit but in a long time so it ends up sweeping the same are as in the first case.

Therefore, this means when the planet is closest to the star it must have a greater speed than when it's furthest. We know this thanks to the speed formula v = d/t (velocity equals distance divided by time).

For a great distance and small time, speed is a large value.

For a small distance and a great time, speed is a small value.

Hot spots:
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Option: b. Feed basaltic volcanoes (composition similar to the seafloor), unless the hot spot is altered in composition coming through a continent, in which case the volcano may be more andesitic.

Explanation:

Most volcanoes found in the plates boundaries but some situated in the centre of the plates. These volcanoes formed over a hot spot where mantle plume is rising in the form of magma. Hot spots are found in the ocean, and on continents.

Hot spot volcanoes occur far from plate boundaries because mantle plumes exist below the tectonic plates. Volcanoes in the Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone National Park are some of the examples of the Hot spots.
