A Seamount is a mountain that rises up from the ocean floor, but is below sea level. (above sea level, it would be considered an island). It is often created by volcanic activity.
A Guyot is usually an extinct volcano that had, at one time, been above the surface that has weathered away. As it erodes, the top becomes flat. Over time, the sea floor moves away from oceanic ridges and the guyot sinks below the ocean surface.

mount Everest is 8848m above sea level and the dead sea is 400m below sea level. what is the difference between the two?
The difference in elevation between Mount Everest, which is 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level, and the Dead Sea, which is approximately 400 meters (1,312 feet) below sea level, is the sum of their elevations. To calculate the difference in elevation, you can subtract the elevation of the Dead Sea from the elevation of Mount Everest: 8,848 meters (Mount Everest) - (-400 meters) (Dead Sea) = 8,848 meters + 400 meters = 9,248 meters So, the difference in elevation between Mount Everest and the Dead Sea is approximately 9,248 meters (or about 9.25 kilometers). This means that Mount Everest is roughly 9.25 kilometers higher in elevation than the Dead Sea.
