CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Ontong Java Plateau, a volcanically-formed underwater plateau located in the Pacific Ocean north of the Solomon Islands, is younger and its eruption was more protracted than ...
New high-precision argon isotope dating of the Ontong Java Plateau indicates that it is 10 million years younger than previously thought, according to Peter Davidson and colleagues. The Ontong Java ...
A fiery mystery has puzzled geologists for decades: where did the lava fueling one of Earth's largest volcanic events come from? A new study may finally have the answer. Scientists have long believed ...
Volcanic processes in oceanic plateaus are dominated by high-volume, often short-lived eruptions linked to mantle plume activity and interactions with mid-ocean ridges. Magma ascent can occur through ...
