Abstract:
The southward drift of the Hawaiian hotspot established by drilling on the Emperor Seamounts was not significant enough to suggest that the northern Emperor Seamounts and the Cretaceous island-arc sequences in the Olyutor-Kamchatka region were located at similar paleomagnetic latitudes. Furthermore, the obvious differences in the Late Cretaceous sedimentation on the Emperor Seamounts and in Kamchatka paleoarcs are caused not only by differences in their paleolatitudes. Therefore, the drilling results provide no serious grounds to revise the concept of substantial northern drift of the Cretaceous island arcs.
