The Great Meteor Seamount, also called the Great Meteor Tablemount, is a guyot and the largest seamount in the North Atlantic with a volume of 24,000 km3 (5,800 cu mi). It is one of the Seewarte Seamounts, rooted on a large terrace located south of the Azores Plateau. The crust underlying Great Meteor has an age of 85 million years, deduced from the magnetic anomaly 34 (An34) at this location. The German research vessel Meteor discovered the tablemount between 1925 and 1927. It was given the name Great Meteor Bank, a designation still used in the official GEBCO gazetteer.

  • The Great Meteor Seamount, also called the Great Meteor Tablemount, is a guyot and the largest seamount in the North Atlantic with a volume of 24,000 km3 (5,800 cu mi). It is one of the Seewarte Seamounts, rooted on a large terrace located south of the Azores Plateau. The crust underlying Great Meteor has an age of 85 million years, deduced from the magnetic anomaly 34 (An34) at this location. The shallow and flat summit of the Great Meteor Seamount, ranging between 150 and 300 m (490 and 980 ft) below sea level, suggests that it may have emerged sometime in the past 30 million years. It is covered by a 150 to 600 m (490 to 1,970 ft) thick layer of limestone, pyroclastic rocks and bioclastic sandstones. Dredged basalts from the top of the eastern and southeastern flanks of the seamount have been K–Ar dated 10.7 ± 0.5 and 16.3 ± 0.4 million years old, respectively. The oldest sample has been 40Ar/39Ar dated at 17 ± 0.3 million years old. Two small seamounts exist just southwest of Great Meteor and are encircled by the −3800 m bathymetric line. These are the Closs Seamount, roughly oriented NNE-SSW, with its peak at 1,400 m (4,600 ft) depth and covering an area of approximately 390 km2 (150 sq mi), and the Little Meteor Seamount, located NNE of Closs, with over 960 km2 (370 sq mi) and a flat top 400 m (1,300 ft) below sea level. The German research vessel Meteor discovered the tablemount between 1925 and 1927. It was given the name Great Meteor Bank, a designation still used in the official GEBCO gazetteer. (en)
  • Gran Meteor, también llamado el Meseta submarina de Gran Meteor, es un guyot que forma el monte submarino más grande del Océano Atlántico Norte con un volumen de 24,000 km³. Forma parte de los Montes Submarinos Seewarte, situado sobre una llanura abisal en mitad del océano, al sur de la Altiplanicie de las Azores y al oeste de Canarias. La corteza terrestre subyacente a Gran Meteor tiene una edad de 85 millones de años, deducidos de la anomalía magnética 34 (An34) en esta ubicación.​ La cumbre superficial y llana del Gran Meteor, variando entre los 150 y los 300 metros bajo el nivel del mar, sugiere que pudo haber emergido en algún momento antiguamente.​ Está cubierto por una gruesa capa de 150 a 600 metros compuesta de caliza, rocas piroclásticas y areniscas bioclásticas.​ Algunos basaltos obtenidos de la parte superior de los flancos este y sureste del monte submarino han sido datados con 10'7 y 16'3 millones de años, respectivamente.​ La muestra más antigua ha sido datada en 17 millones de años.​ Existen dos pequeños montes submarinos justo al suroeste de Gran Meteor y están rodeados por la línea batimétrica de -3.800 m. Estos son el monte submarino Closs, con una orientación aproximada NNE-SSW, con su pico a 1.400 metros de profundidad y cubriendo un área de aproximadamente 390 km², y el monte submarino Pequeño Meteor, ubicado al NNE de Closs, con más de 960 km² y una superficie llana a 400 metros por debajo del nivel del mar. El buque de investigación alemán Meteor descubrió el monte submarino entre 1925 y 1927. Se le dio el nombre de Banco Gran Meteor, una designación que todavía se usa en el nomenclátor oficial de la Carta Batimétrica General de los Océanos. (es)
  • Il Great Meteor è un vulcano guyot sommerso, che risale dai 4000 metri del fondale marino fino a -275, posto a sud delle isole Azzorre, nell'Oceano Atlantico. È l'ultima delle formazioni vulcaniche prodotte dal punto caldo del New England. È affiancato dal Little Meteor che come indica il nome risulta meno imponente ed elevato. (it)
