Geochemical Zoning of Volcanic Chains Associated with Pacific LETTERS | FOCUS PUBLISHED ONLINE: 18 SEPTEMBER 2011 | DOI: 10.1038/NGEO1263 Geochemical zoning of volcanic chains associated with Pacific hotspots Shichun Huang1*, Paul S. Hall2 and Matthew G. Jackson2 Recent Hawaiian volcanism is manifest as two geographically a 1 West Molokai and geochemically distinct groups of volcanoes , the Loa East Molokai trend in the south and the Kea trend in the north2,3. The ° 21 N West Maui Kea differences between the Loa and Kea lavas are attributed to spatial variations in the geochemical structure of the Lanai underlying Hawaiian mantle plume4–9. In turn, the Hawaiian Kahoolawe plume structure is thought to reflect heterogeneities in its 7,8 10 Kohala mantle source . Here we compile geochemical data from 20° N Mahukona the Hawaiian and two other volcanic ocean island chains—the Latitude Mauna Kea Samoan and Marquesas—that formed above mantle plumes Hualalai upwelling beneath the Pacific plate. We find that the volcanoes 100 (km) Loa Mauna Loa Kilauea at both Samoa11 and the Marquesas12 show geographic and ° geochemical trends similar to those observed at Hawaii. 19 N Hawaii Specifically, two subparallel arrays of volcanoes exist at both Loihi locations.

This set of hotspots, which include Hawaii, Nuku Hiva Samoa and the Marquesas, thus provide an important window into 9° S Nuku the lowermost mantle.

    Web Supplement to “Ages of seamounts, islands and plateaus on the Pacific Plate”, by Valérie Clouard & Alain Bonneville Table 1 : Compilation of radiometric datings of seamounts and islands on the Pacific plate from 1645 samples. Data are sorted by chain, and further by island or seamount from south to north as this represents the general trend of Pacific plate motion since 120 Ma. Final sorting is according to the method used and the author. An average age, calculated by weighting each age by the inverse of its variance, is given when several ages have been determined for the same volcanic stage, by the same author, with the same method. In 2 this case the geographical coordinates are given only once for the line. The error associated with a mean age is calculated as 1/S(1/si ).

    Geophys. J. Int. (2002) 150, 321–361 Young tracks of hotspots and current plate velocities Alice E. Gripp1,∗ and Richard G. Gordon2 1Department of Geological Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97401, USA 2Department of Earth Science MS-126, Rice University, Houston, TX 77005, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 2001 October 5. Received 2001 October 5; in original form 2000 December 20 SUMMARY Plate motions relative to the hotspots over the past 4 to 7 Myr are investigated with a goal of determining the shortest time interval over which reliable volcanic propagation rates and segment trends can be estimated. The rate and trend uncertainties are objectively determined from the dispersion of volcano age and of volcano location and are used to test the mutual consistency of the trends and rates. Ten hotspot data sets are constructed from overlapping time intervals with various durations and starting times. Our preferred hotspot data set, HS3, consists of two volcanic propagation rates and eleven segment trends from four plates. It averages plate motion over the past ≈5.8 Myr, which is almost twice the length of time (3.2 Myr) over which the NUVEL-1A global set of relative plate angular velocities is estimated. HS3-NUVEL1A, our preferred set of angular velocities of 15 plates relative to the hotspots, was constructed from the HS3 data set while constraining the relative plate angular velocities to consistency with NUVEL-1A. No hotspots are in significant relative motion, but the 95 per cent confidence limit on motion is typically ±20 to ±40 km Myr−1 and ranges up to ±145 km Myr−1.

Parmi ces 248 espèces, 101 sont des plantes indigènes, 65 sont des introductions polynésiennes et 82 sont des introductions modernes. Les espèces, ou plutôt taxons, sont présentées par ordre alphabétique de leurs noms scientifiques au sein de cinq groupes constitués par les types biolo- giques : arbres, arbustes et arbrisseaux, fougères, herbacées, lianes. Pour chaque taxon, outre son nom scientifique accepté, est indiquée sa famille botanique d’appar tenance.
