The Parnaíba River Delta is a network of channels, islands, lagoons, dunes, and mangrove areas on Brazil's northeastern Atlantic coast, where the Parnaíba River reaches the sea. It lies mainly between the states of Piauí and Maranhão and supports coastal and freshwater habitats shaped by tides, rive...
Atlantis Seamount is an underwater mountain located near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean. As a flat-topped guyot, it was formed by volcanic activity and later eroded to its current shape. The seamount is scientifically significant because it hosts the Lost City hydrothermal field,...
The Ogooué River Delta is a coastal wetland in western Gabon where the Ogooué divides into multiple channels before entering the Atlantic Ocean. Its low-lying landscape includes mangroves, swamps, coastal grasslands, floodplain forests, and other habitats shaped by changing freshwater and marine con...
Bear Seamount is an extinct submarine volcano and the oldest and westernmost member of the New England Seamount chain in the North Atlantic Ocean. It formed approximately 100 million years ago, likely as the North American Plate moved over a mantle plume. Erosion has since reduced it to a flat-toppe...
The Santee River Delta is a coastal delta and wetland complex on the central coast of South Carolina, where the Santee River divides into tidal channels and marshes before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. It includes the Santee Delta Wildlife Management Area and adjoining protected lands in the South Ca...
The São Francisco River Delta is the river's coastal outlet on Brazil's northeastern Atlantic coast, near the boundary between the states of Sergipe and Alagoas. The lower river divides into channels and meets the sea among sand dunes, beaches, wetlands, and estuarine habitats. It is studied as a de...
Kelvin Seamount is an underwater volcanic mountain, or guyot, located in the North Atlantic Ocean as part of the New England Seamount chain. It features a flat, table-like summit formed by wave erosion before the seamount subsided below the sea surface. The seamount is ecologically significant, prov...
The Corner Rise Seamounts are a cluster of submarine volcanic mountains located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Formed by tectonic plate movement over a hotspot, these seamounts feature flat summits, known as guyots, that were eroded by waves before subsiding below the ocean surface. The isolated geogr...
The Gambia River Delta is the tidal estuarine and wetland zone where the Gambia River meets the Atlantic Ocean in West Africa. Its branching channels, mudflats, and mangrove forests create brackish habitats used by fish, shellfish, waterbirds, and other wildlife. The delta also supports communities...
The Casamance River Delta is a tidal estuarine and mangrove region in southern Senegal, where the Casamance system opens westward toward the Atlantic Ocean. The lower river forms a long saline estuary with branching channels and islands, and mangrove stands occupy much of the intertidal zone. These...
Nashville Seamount is a significant submarine volcano within the New England Seamount chain in the North Atlantic Ocean. The seamount rises from the ocean floor and features a flat top characteristic of guyots, formed by wave erosion when the volcano was once above water before subsiding. It support...
Manning Seamount is an extinct submarine volcano in the New England Seamount Chain of the western North Atlantic. The chain contains more than 30 undersea volcanic peaks formed as the North American Plate moved over a long-lived hotspot, and it extends from the area near the eastern United States to...
Cruiser Tablemount is a massive, flat-topped submarine volcano located in the Atlantic Ocean, distinguished by its guyot geological formations.
Yakutat Seamount is a flat-topped submarine volcano located in the Pacific Ocean, notable for its ancient geological origins and flat summit.
