text: Various models have been proposed to explain the generating mechanism of the Hawaiian swell: (1) a model in which the dynamic pressure of the plume material flowing in the asthenosphere away from the plume centre supports the uplift of the sea floor4,6; (2) the thermal resetting (rejuvenation) model, in which the oceanic lithosphere is heated when it passes the hotspot, and thinning of the lithosphere causes isostatic uplift of the Hawaiian swell5; (3) a model in which extracted basaltic melt of the plume material underplates the base of the lithosphere.
