Seamount in the Bible

The Bible states about the mountains in the ocean floor :Before the invention of under water Submarine- scientist has no knowledge of about the sea mount .

In Jonah 2:5- 6 “The engulfing waters threatened me,the deep surrounded me;seaweed was wrapped around my head. To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever.But you, Lord my God,brought my life up from the pit.

A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean floor that does not reach to the water’s surface, and thus is not an island, islet or cliff-rock. Seamounts are typically formed from extinct volcanoes that rise abruptly and are usually found rising from the seafloor to 1,000–4,000 m in height.

In Psalms 104:6,8 ” You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains…’they flowed over the mountains,they went down into the valleys to the place you assigned for them

Seamounts – undersea mountains formed by volcanic activity – were once thought to be little more than hazards to submarine navigation. Today, scientists recognize these structures as biological hotspots that support a dazzling array of marine life.

The biological richness of seamount habitats results from the shape of these undersea mountains. Thanks to the steep slopes of seamounts, nutrients are carried upwards from the depths of the oceans toward the sunlit surface, providing food for creatures ranging from corals to fish to crustaceans.

New estimates suggest that, taken together, seamounts encompass about 28.8 million square kilometers of the Earth’s surface. That’s larger than deserts, tundra, or any other single land-based global habitat on the planet.
