Cobb Seamount
Cobb Seamount is a seamount ( underwater volcano) and guyot located west of Grays Harbor, Washington, United States. Cobb Seamount is one of the seamounts in the Cobb–Eickelberg Seamount chain, a chain of underwater volcanoes created by the Cobb hotspot that terminates near the coast of Alaska. It lies just west of the Cascadia subduction zone, and was discovered in August 1950 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fisheries research vessel R/V ''John N. Cobb'' (FWS 1601). By 1967, over of soundings and dozens of samples from the seamount had been collected. Cobb Seamount is geologically interesting for its terraced, pinnacle structure, and its biological community. Like many other seamounts, Cobb Seamount acts as a biological center of diversity, and supports a dense oceanic ecosystem. Relatively convenient access and an interesting biological setting have made the seamount an object of several scientific cruises and dives. Geology Cobb Seamount lies off the ...

Cobb Hotspot
The Cobb hotspot is a marine volcanic Hotspot (geology), hotspot at , which is west of Oregon and Washington (state), Washington, United States, in the Pacific Ocean. Over geologic time, the Earth's surface has migrated with respect to the hotspot through plate tectonics, creating the Cobb–Eickelberg Seamount chain. The hotspot is currently collocated with the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Cobb Seamount chain The Cobb hotspot has created an underwater mountain range that extends to the northwest and ends at the Aleutian Trench. The oldest mount in the chain is the Marchland Seamount, at 30 to 43 Ma (million years old). The old, northwestern end of the chain collides with a Subduction, subduction zone; therefore, the true age of the hotspot is difficult to determine as the oceanic crust is being consumed. Axial Seamount is the hotspot's most recent eruptive center, which last erupted in 2015, 2011, and 1998. The central ridge of the hotspot is thicker than the surrounding crust by a f ...
