Rarotonga hotspot

107:. This volcanism is responsible for the formation of the oceanic plateaus. Later, the remnant "tail" of the plume is still rising and induces the formation of volcano chains as the crust moves over the plume tail, thus forming the linear chains of hot spots. As there is growing evidence that not all intra-plate volcanoes are generated by upwelling mantle plumes, not all may be formed from hot spots. 22: 340:. However to date there is evidence for at least two formation hypotheses in this area being volcanics derived from partial melting of secondary plume clusters emanating from the top of mantle plumes trapped at the mantle transition zone or secondary plumelets emanating from the top of the Pacific 152:
