Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Guyots were seamounts at some point in their history. They were tall enough to breach the sea surface.
Wave action eroded their tops until they submerged again. The result is a flat-topped seamount.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The water that is coming from hydrothermal vents is much warmer than the surrounding waters, but
the chemical composition is also different. It is more acidic, enriched with metals, and has higher
concentrations of dissolved gases. Information can be found in the section The Topography of Deep-
Ocean Basins Differs from That of the Continental Margins
