The correct answer is "undersea mountain" and "volcano". A seamount is an undersea mountain that is formed by a volcano in conjunction with the movement of a tectonic plate.
To arrive at the correct answer, you can break down the question into different parts and analyze each option:
1. A seamount is described as an "undersea" feature, which means it is located beneath the ocean's surface.
2. A seamount is typically a tall, isolated peak rising from the ocean floor, which aligns with the idea of a mountain.
3. Volcanoes are known for their ability to form tall, cone-shaped mountains when molten rock (magma) erupts onto the Earth's surface.
4. Tectonic plates are large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other.
5. Hotspots are areas where molten rock from the Earth's mantle rises to the surface, creating volcanic activity.
By considering these explanations, we can eliminate options such as "undersea trench" (which is a deep depression in the ocean floor) and "earthquake" (which refers to the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by the movement of tectonic plates). The remaining options, "undersea mountain" and "volcano," are consistent with the definition provided. Therefore, the correct answer is "undersea mountain" and "volcano".
