Observations of geometry and ages constrain relative motion of Hawaii and Louisville plumes

The classic view of linear island chains as volcanic expressions of interactions between changing plate tectonic motions and fixed mantle plumes has come under renewed scrutiny. In particular, observed paleolatitudes from the Emperor seamounts imply that the Hawaii hotspot was > 5–15° further nor...
