TFA blurb review

Horizon Guyot is an underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top in the Mid-Pacific Mountains west of Hawaii and northeast of the Line Islands. An elongated ridge over 300 kilometres (190 mi) long and 4.3 kilometres (2.7 mi) high, it stretches in a northeast–southwest direction, rising to a depth of 1,443 metres (4,734 ft). It was probably formed by a hotspot, but evidence is conflicting. Its volcanic activity occurred between 100.5 and 82 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period. Around 89 million years ago, carbonate deposition from lagoonal and reefal environments set in and formed limestone. Volcanic islands developed on Horizon Guyot as well and were colonised by plants. Pelagic ooze has accumulated on the seamount, forming a thick layer that has been further modified by ocean currents, landslides, and various organisms living on it. Ferromanganese crusts have been deposited on exposed rocks. (Full article...)

Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 18:09, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

I would probably say something about atolls and also a bit about animals that presently live on it. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:44, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Okay, generally (not always) the blurb comes from the lead. Does anyone object to adding those things to the lead before we put them in the blurb? - Dank (push to talk) 19:08, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Okay, looks like you've got a green light, add what you like to the lead and let's see if anyone edits it there. - Dank (push to talk) 20:35, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
