Carter Seamount
Several seamounts, including the Carter Seamount, are created from dead underwater volcanoes. The Carter Seamount rises from the ocean floor to about 200 meters beneath the surface of the Atlantic; it is surrounded by a lush ecosystem full of organisms like corals and sponges.
Unlike several seamounts like it that haven’t been explored or studied, the Carter Seamount was studied by a team from the University of Bristol in 2013. In the marine ecosystem, seamounts are fairly commonplace; they are usually home to marine animals such as fish, corals, and sponges.
