Abstract

Additional evidence supports the idea that the shallow rises surrounding mid-plate, hot-spot volcanoes are caused by a broad-scale reheating of the lithosphere above hot-spots. Firstly, as required by the reheating concept, the rises appear to be supported by a density deficiency within the normal thickness of the lithosphere. The gravity anomalies over the Bermuda, Cape Verde, Hawaii and Cook-Austral swells indicate that the compensation of these swells is only 40 to 100 km deep. The geoid anomaly over the Hawaiian swell is consistent with these depths. Secondly, as also required by the reheating concept; swells and the volcanoes formed on swells subside at the same rate as younger, hotter lithosphere which is at the same ocean depth. Almost all mid-plate swells rise to an ocean depth of 4250 m, the depth of normal 25 Myr-old lithosphere. The Hawaiian Swell, Emperor Guyots, Cook-Austral Swell and Bikini and Enewetok Atolls all subside as 25 Myr-old lithosphere subsides.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
