- Bermuda_hotspot abstract "The Bermuda hotspot is the supposed "hotspot" (or mantle plume) proposed to explain the Bermuda Rise (a cluster of extinct volcanoesin the Atlantic Ocean, including the island of Bermuda), and alsoinvoked by Cox and Van Arsdale to explain the origin of the Mississippi Embaymentand by Nunn to explain the Sabine Uplift (southwest of the Mississippi Embayment).A hotspot origin for the Bermuda Rise has never been strongly supported, and has been largely shut out by a detailed and tightly argued paper by Vogt and Jung.(See also shorter article at MantlePlumes.org)Evidence cited against a hotspot origin include:1) Lack of a chain of age-progressive seamounts, such as with the Hawaiian-Emperor or New England seamount chains.2) Elongation of the Bermuda Rise at a right angle to the direction of plate motion.3) Various problems with the ages of igneous rock attributed to thesupposed hotspot and ensuing complications in the implied rate of hotspot motion.Vogt and Jung attribute the origin of the Bermuda Rise to a reorganization of plate tectonics triggered by the closing of the Tethys Sea, but allow that until more data is obtained this is very speculative. Detailed treatment of plate-tectonic-related theory for the explanation of intraplate volcanism has recently been summarised in a book called "Plates vs Plumes: A geological controversy" by Gillian R. Foulger.".
