This book presents a brief synopsis of the current academic
understanding of the plume hypothesis, its surface manifestations
and its shortcomings. It also describes methods for estimating the
uplift history of a region due to plume activity. It discusses
different models for the elastic properties of the lithosphere and
their estimation as a background for plume emplacement, and
introduces the plume hypothesis, describing the major plume types
and their effect on the lithosphere. Two chapters are dedicated to
the dynamic and permanent topography produced by an impinging plume
head below the lithosphere and its estimation. It also presents the
historical background of the plume hypothesis, its criticisms and
alternatives.
