看到这里大量的枕状熔岩，辛顿立刻产生一个假设：也许该区域的海山都形成自同一次火山喷发的多条岩浆流？

There are lots of pillow lavas here too, prompting Sinton to form a hypothesis: perhaps the seamounts in this region formed from the same volcanic eruption, made up of many flows?

辛顿透过潜艇舱门左侧的舷窗望出去，发现这座350英尺高的海山上覆盖着枕状熔岩和极少的沉积物。

Peering through the porthole stationed on the port (left) side of the sub, it appears to Sinton that the 350-foot-high seamount is covered in pillow lavas with very little sediment cover.

枕状熔岩是岩浆被缓缓推积至海底时形成的。

Pillow lavas form when molten rock is pushed up onto the seafloor at a very slow rate.
