The concept of mantle plumes, hot buoyant rock masses that rise in the mantle, is a key to understand intraplate volcanism in the framework of modern plate tectonics. Progress in analytical and satellite technology enables scientists to verify the plume hypothesis with sophisticated techniques. This book presents an overview on these studies. With 126 black & white illustrations, 31 colour illustrations, 12 black & white tables, 3 black & white h. Hardback, 510 pages. Size: 235 x 155 mm. Weight: 975g.
