Buoyant decompression melting: A possible mechanism for intraplate volcanism [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2002 Volcanic activity away from plate boundaries occurs in a variety of settings. Linear, age‐progressive volcanic chains have been explained as the manifestation of fixed hot spots, possibly generated by plumes originating deep in the mantle. However, important examples of oceanic intraplate volcanism cannot be explained in this way, including short‐lived

The Warnie volcanic province: Jurassic intraplate volcanism in Central Australia [PDF]
Gondwana Research, 2019 Abstract The Cooper and Eromanga Basins of South Australia and Queensland are the largest onshore hydrocarbon producing region in Australia. Igneous rocks have been documented infrequently within end of well reports over the past 34 years, with a late Triassic to Jurassic age determined from well data.

The Atlas of Morocco: A Plume‐Assisted Orogeny
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 We explore the connections between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in the Atlas of Morocco. In response to compressional forces and strain localization, this intraplate orogen has evolved far from convergent plate margins.

Hafnium isotopic variations in East Atlantic intraplate volcanism [PDF]
Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 2010 The broad belt of intraplate volcanism in the East Atlantic between 25° and 37° N is proposed to have formed by two adjacent hotspot tracks (the Madeira and Canary tracks) that possess systematically different isotopic signatures reflecting different mantle source compositions.

THE BOOK BY G.R. FOULGER: FROM MELTING ANOMALIES TO HYPOTHESES ON PLATES OR PLUMES?
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015 The book «Plates vs. plumes: a geological controversy» (Fig. 1) is intended for the advanced student who is not satisfied by the presentday interpretation of intraplate volcanism.

Earth and Space Science, 2021 Cenozoic volcanic rocks in the East Asian continental margin usually form because of asthenosphere upwelling and resultant decompression melting, and their origins are important in deciphering mantle geodynamics attributed to intraplate volcanism.

Mexican Volcanic Belt: an intraplate transform?
Geofísica Internacional, 1987 La evidencia temporal y "geométrica" sugiere que varios eventos regionales tectónicos fueron contribuyentes de mucha importancia durante la evolución del Cinturón Volcánico Mexicano (CVM). Estos incluyen (1) el desarrollo de una zona tectónica de debilidad en el área del actual CVM, seguido durante la época cenozoica por (2) actividad tectónica en la ...

The role of edge-driven convection in the generation of volcanism – Part 1: A 2D systematic study [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 The origin of intraplate volcanism is not explained by plate tectonic theory, and several models have been put forward for explanation. One of these models involves edge-driven convection (EDC), in which cold and thick continental lithosphere is ...

Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2023 Volcaniclastic accumulations in shallow marine environments are prone to be eroded and transported by sedimentary agents and then resedimented either on contemporaneous or younger substrates. Therefore, dating of the volcanic events through the sediments
