The volcano is the main mountain in one of the largest oceanic plateaus on the planet: Shatsky Rise. Yet the peak is still about 1,980 meters below the sea's surface.

His models showed that, at that time, a large volcanic plateau could have formed on the Phoenix Plate at the same location. About 110 million years ago, this plateau would have been pushed under ...

The Melonesian Border Plateau, located in the South Pacific, is an oceanic mid-plate superstructure that looks like it was formed by one huge event. It wasn't though, scientists said.

A 120-million-year-old volcanic mystery is solved as researchers trace the Ontong Java Plateau's origins to the Louisville hotspot, revealing Earth’s hidden geological history. The post Volcanic ...

Easter Island consists of several extinct volcanoes. The oldest lava deposits formed some 2.5 million years ago on top of an oceanic plate not much older than the volcanoes themselves.

That mountain range, whose traces are still clearly visible, could well be the effect of subduction of a volcanic plateau that formed 165 million years ago.” ...
