Ocean Hotspots provides a comprehensive overview of recent and
ongoing research on intraplate volcanism in the ocean basins with
special emphasis on the Pacific Ocean. The geology of the seamounts
and their associated seamount chains is described, along with
detailed geophysical, geochemical and hydrothermal observations
made by a multi-disciplinary group of marine geoscientists. These
observations lead to a deeper understanding of how the ascending
mantle melts, represented by hotspots, are able to penetrate the
lithosphere, build seamounts, and enhance hydrothermal circulation.
The "fixed" hotspot-generated seamount chains also provide key
constraints on plate tectonic reconstructions on the Earth's crust.
