Crustal intrusion beneath the Louisville hotspot track
We report here the first detailed 2D tomographic image of the crust and upper mantle structure of a Cretaceous seamount that formed during the interaction of the Pacific plate and the Louisville hotspot. Results show that at ∼ 1.5 km beneath the seamount summit, the core of the volcanic edifice appe...
