Abstract:: Over the last three decades the first-order correlation in morphology and orientation of seamount trails has been called upon to support the concept of a ‘‘fixed’’ Pacific hot spot frame of reference and to explain the Hawaii-Emperor bend (HEB) by a dramatic change in Pacific plate motion. In this paper,...

Creator:: Koppers, Anthony A. P., Russell, Jamie A., Roberts, Jed, Jackson, Matthew G., Konter, Jasper G., Wright, Dawn J., Staudigel, Hubert, and Hart, Stanley R.
Abstract:: The volcanic origin of the Samoan archipelago can be explained by one of three models, specifically, by a hot spot forming over a mantle plume, by lithospheric extension resulting from complex subduction tectonics in the region, or by a combination of these two processes, either acting sequentially or synchronously. In...

Abstract:: The Louisville seamount trail has been recognized as one of the key examples of hot spot volcanism, comparable to the classic volcanic Hawaiian-Emperor lineaments. The published total fusion ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar data of Watts et al. [1988] showed an astonishing linear age progression, firmly establishing Louisville as a fixed hot spot in...
