5 1. Precursory uplift Burov (2005)

6 2. LIP eruption Coffin & Eldholm (1993)

7 Campbell (2005) 3. “Tail” to core-mantle boundary

8 Hawaii 4. Time-progressive chain

10 Plate

11 The Plate hypothesis

12 Predictions

13 Lithospheric extension Source fusibility Shallow mantle source

14 Many scientists beginning to doubt Plume and swing towards Plate Why?

15 Observations do not fit Plume predictions

Examples

No-one can agree on how many plumes there are, or where they are

18 Many “hot spot” lists

19 Flood basalt & chain: only 3/49! None fit all the predictions

20 Some spectacular disagreements

21 Hawaii

22

23 Endless plume variants Lateral flow of plume material Tilted plumes Pulsing plumes Low 3 He/ 4 He plumes High 3 He/ 4 He plumes Headless plumes Tailess plumes Ridge-captured plumes Ridge-escaping plumes

This is not scientific!

25 What about Plate?

26 The Plate hypothesis involves diverse processes

27 IT IS **NOT** ONE–SIZE–FITS–ALL

28 This immediately fits observations

What are these diverse processes? Examples

31 Korenaga (2005) Ontong Java Plateau 2. Fertility at mid-ocean ridges
