Study on the Origin of Near-Ridge Seamount Chains in the South Pacific Academic Background Seamount chains in the ocean have long been considered products of mantle plume activity, such as the famous Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain. However, most seamounts in the Pacific Ocean do not exhibit age progression and are relatively small in volume, sugge...
