| | Description | | Muli Guyot is located at 14¿ 3.3' S, 170¿ 5.0' W and is part of the Samoan Hotspot region on the Pacific Plate. It is 3982 m high with the top at -100 m and the ocean bottom at -4082 m. The guyot is fairly small with a volume of 3192 km3. It is fairly round with irregular edges and rifts creating a cross shape. The top surface is relatively flat resulting in its classification as a guyot. Muli is connected by a saddle to the east to Olosega and it shares a common platform with a cluster of volcanoes including Manua and Malu Malu. |
