Leyuan Guyot

Leyuan Guyot is a flat-topped seamount in the western Pacific Ocean. It is a submerged volcanic feature studied as part of deep-ocean geology.

A flat summit is the defining shape of a guyot, a seamount whose top was planed off before the feature subsided beneath the sea. Leyuan Guyot's shape helps geologists interpret its volcanic history.

The catalog description identifies it as a submerged volcanic origin feature, not as an active volcano. Its importance is tied to geological records preserved on the deep seafloor.

Leyuan Guyot is located in the western Pacific Ocean. Its position places it among the oceanic volcanic structures used to reconstruct regional deep-ocean history.
