Abstract
The term seamount has been
defined many times (e.g., Menard, 1964; Wessel, 2001; Schmidt and
Schmincke, 2000; Pitcher et al., 2007; International Hydrographic
Organization, 2008; Wessel et al., 2010) but there is no “generally
accepted” definition. Instead, most definitions serve the particular
needs of a discipline or a specific paper.
