Abstract
Seismic reflection profiling across several guyots of the Mid-Pacific Mountains has revealed low domes of sediments above the basement summit platform. These domes are asymmetric, reflecting preferential erosion or non-deposition on the northern flanks, and are attributed to the action of deep currents on pelagic sediments deposited on guyots after they subside below wave base. Sets of terraces buried beneath the pelagic capping suggest that guyot subsidence was a complex process.
