Constraints on past plate and mantle motion from new ages for the Hawaiian‐Emperor Seamount Chain

Constraints on past plate and mantle motion from new ages for the Hawaiian‐Emperor Seamount Chain

Estimates of the relative motion between the Hawaiian and Louisville hot spots have consequences for understanding the role and character of deep Pacific‐mantle return flow. The relative motion between these primary hot spots can be inferred by comparing the age records for their seamount trails. We...
