description

Summary

The topography and bathymetry (underwater topography) of the northern Pacific Ocean reflect the movement of the Pacific Plate over the Hawaiian Hotspot. Prior to 42 million years ago, the Pacific Plate was moving northward, forming volcanic islands that are now the Emperor Seamounts. The plate motion has changed to northwestward, forming the Hawaiian Ridge and Hawaiian Islands.
