description Tenji Guyot Overview
Tenji Guyot is a flat-topped submarine volcano in the western Pacific Ocean. It belongs to the Emperor Seamount chain, a line of volcanic seamounts extending northwest from the Hawaiian Islands, and its level summit records erosion or wave planation before the structure subsided beneath the sea. As a guyot, Tenji is studied as evidence of oceanic volcanism, plate movement, and changing sea level.
