摘要：

Satellite altimetry was used to identify and characterize Pacific intraplate seamounts. The gravimetric amplitudes of seamounts appear to be related to the age difference between the sea floor and seamounts; by inverting this relation, pseudo ages can be obtained for undated seamounts, These pseudo ages imply that excursions in seamount volcanism generally correlate with times of formation of large oceanic plateaus.
