Talk:Bowie hotspot

LEAD SECTION:
The definition for a hotspot is nicely linked to the wiki 'hotspot' and 'Kodiak-Bowie Seamount chain' page. However there needs to be some background of how a hotspot relates to volcanism and to basalt lava before jumping to these topics. A big omission in this section is that the Bowie is the only active volcano of an extinct seamount chain. In this section should also be a brief description of the areal extent and geographic location.

BODY SECTION:
2 Headings are suggested for the body: 1.  FORMATION → Effusive Eruption → content of 3rd paragraph 2.  SEAMOUNTS → for content of 4th and 5th paragraphs.

REFERENCES:
[2] Full citation should be given for "NOAA Ocean Explorer: Gulf of Alaska 2004". Retrieved 2007-09-02. as it is not obvious where on this website, the material cited is.

Most of the material is not cited.

'Edits that I would like to make:' I would like to re-write the Lead section to include the omissions described above. I would like to add the 2 headings listed above and source citations for the uncited sentences of the original content.

It may be that this page should be merged with the Kodiak-Bowie seamount chain Wiki page. Let me know that you think about this as well as my editing suggestions. ObliqueFault (talk) 03:47, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
