• The Daiichi-Kashima seamount in the Japan trench and a wedge shaped seamount in the Ogasawara trench are good examples that the seamount breaks down and sink at the axis of the trench. We estimated subterranean structure of these seamounts using gravity anomaly and topography, and proposed a model. Disappearance of a deep root of the mountain in the upper mantle supporting the mass of the mountain, can explain the phenomena. It is suspected that main reason of disappearance of the root is due to compression caused by the bending of the plate near the trench.
