<span>Guyots are seamounts that have built above sea level. Erosion by waves destroyed the top of the seamount resulting in a flattened shape. Due to the movement of the ocean floor away from oceanic ridges, the sea floor gradually sinks and the flattened guyots are submerged to become undersea flat-topped peaks.</span>
"blocking high views" is not typically a problem associated with urban sprawl, since this urbanization tends to take place on relatively flat levels, which takes up more land.
