Origin & Evolution of the Ontong Java Plateau: 229 (Geological Society of London Special Publications) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Ontong Java Plateau is the world's largest igneous provinces and is evidence of the largest magmatic event on earth. Here researchers examine a theory which explains its existence, namely that it was created by the rapid decompression and melting of an inordinately hot mantle in the heads of newly ascended mantle plumes. The topics of their 19 integrated studies here include the motion of the plateau in the hot-spot frame of reference, modeled palaeolatitudes for a hot spot, a lower Cretaceous planktonic foraminiferal and nannofossil biostratigraphy, evidence of partial melting below the plateau, implications of a petrology experiment on differentiation processes, submarine basaltic glasses and their implications for magmatic processes and source region compositions, and several papers on the composition and distribution of volcaniclastic rocks and other materials. Distributed in the US by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
