热点 (地质学)
外观
热点(英语:Hotspot)在地质学上是指地球表面长期历经活跃的火山活动的地区。约翰·图佐·威尔逊在1963年时有了一种想法,认为像夏威夷群岛这样的火山链是板块缓慢地移动时经过地表下一个“固定的”热点而形成的。热点被认为是一股较热的、狭窄的地幔从地幔与地核之间的边界开始向上进行对流而形成的,这称为“地幔热柱”(mantle plume)。最新的地质学上的证据则把热点的成因指向了海洋地壳隐没至核幔边界(Gutenberg discontinuity),海洋地壳因其密度较小而上升,且过程中减压融熔。地质学家也确认出了全球40到50个热点,最活跃的热点包括夏威夷、留尼汪、黄石、加拉巴哥群岛、冰岛等地。
