摘要
On the basis of fractal research on the pointy seamount and guyot topography of Magellan seamounts, Wake-Marcus seamounts, oft-com:office:smarttags" />Marshall Islands , Mid-Pacific Mountains and Lines Islands in the west Pacific Ocean , it is indicated that the different terrains of volcano shape type should display the different fractal characteristics. The fractal research on terrain shape shows that the guyot has the single fractal structure and the seamount has the multifractal structure. It is possibly used to carry on vertical zoning of the geomorphic process. The fractal dimension of guyot is smaller than that of pointy seamount in the same seamounts.
