Английский. The continental slope of the Canary Islands volcanic province is characterized by theoccurrence of several seamounts and large landslides that have been widely documented. A detailedmorphological study of the Echo seamount has been done by using multibeam bathymetry,backscatter data and very high resolution seismic profiles. The seamount shape, the occurrence of aflat summit and the presence of characteristics morphological features on the summit and along theflanks as volcanic cones, ridges, slides scars, gullies and channels, among others, have allowedestablishing differences in its evolution. The analysis of these seamount features let to think that theseamount could be an oceanic island that becomes eroded and sank to its present depth. Recentgeological processes observed at the base of the seamount let to establish different features andmorpho-sedimentary units. They have been interpreted as the result of dismantling processes of theflanks although they have also related to the massive slope instabilities developed on the continentalslope.
