Question 6: Read the following passage and choose the best answer. Write your answers in the 
numbered blanks provided below the passage. (20p)
 In addition to the great ridges and volcanic chains, the oceans conceal another form of 
undersea mountains: the strange guyot, or flat-topped seamount. No marine geologist even 
suspected the existence of these isolated mountains until they were discovered by geologist Harry 
H. Hess in 1946. He was serving at the time as naval officer on a ship equipped with a fathometer. 
Hess named these truncated peaks for the nineteenth-century Swiss-born geologist Arnold Guyot, 
who had served on the faculty of Princeton University for thirty years. Since then, hundreds of 
guyots have been discovered in every ocean but the Arctic. Like offshore canyons, guyots present a 
challenge to oceanographic theory. They are believed to be extinct volcanoes. Their flat tops 
indicate that they once stood above or just below the surface, where the action of waves leveled off 
their peaks. Yet today, by definition, their summits are at least 600 feet below the surface, and some 
are as deep as 8,200 feet. Most lie between 3,200 feet and 6,500 feet. Their tops are not really flat 
but slope upward to a low pinnacle at the center. Dredging from the tops of guyots has recovered 
basalt and coral rubble, and that would be expected from the eroded tops of what were once islands. 
Some of this material is over 80 million years old. Geologists think the drowning of the guyots 
involved two processes: The great weight of the volcanic mountains depressed the sea floor 
beneath them, and the level of the sea rose a number of times, especially when the last Ice Age 
ended, some 8,000 to 11.000 years ago.
