A research group has revealed through seismic wave analysis that the oceanic plate beneath the Ontong Java Plateau—the world's largest oceanic plateau—was extensively altered by massive volcanic ...

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 ...

Schematic illustration of the oceanic plate beneath the Ontong Java Plateau inferred from seismic wave analyses. High-frequency seismic observations indicate that the plate has a composite structure ...
