  1. Most seamounts that are located in the middle of the ocean are thought to have been originated either when that particular piece of the plate was near a boundary and the plate slowly diverged away, or from a hot spot which is an area of heated mantle that creates volcanoes, like Hawaii. Then the seamount moves away from the hot spot and becomes an extinct volcano.

    NOTE: Not to be mean but the guy below me has no clue what we're talking about lol.


  2. Inadequate dishwashing.
