Macdonald hotspot, Macdonald seamount

 * ... that the Macdonald hotspot may have formed numerous volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean, from several Marshall Islands to the Macdonald seamount, which may become an island in the future? In  this  case,  the  Macdonald  hotspot  could  be responsible for mid-Cretaceous volcanism in the northern Ralik Chain, The easiest track to unravel in the Cook-Austral chain is Macdonald. Macdonald Seamount rises to within 27 m of sealevel (Rubin and Macdougall, 1989) and has had several eruptions since it was first observed in 1969 (see Johnson, 1970; Johnson and Malahof, 1971). Our choice of its track starts at Macdonald, The evolution of volcano-seismie activity, as evidenced by the various surveys made at seven-year intervals, suggests that the searnount's emergence could occur relatively rapidly.
 * ALT1 ... that the Macdonald hotspot may have formed numerous volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean as well as the Macdonald seamount, which may become an island in the future?

 * Symbol voting keep.svg One of these articles is new and the other is a five-fold expansion. They are both new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I have added ALT1, which is derived from the original hook, and I am approving both hooks.
