Plate-tectonic reconstructions predict part of the Hawaiian hotspot tract to be preserved in the Bering Sea
We use plate reconstructions to show that parts of the Hawaiian hotspot track of ca. 80-90 Ma age could be preserved in the Bering Sea. Based on these reconstructions, the Hawaiian hotspot was beneath the Izanagi plate before ca. 83 Ma. Around that time, the part of the plate carrying the hotspot tr...
