Its prime mover appears to have been a massive, stationary mantle plume, designated the 'Challenger Anomaly,'…

    Residual Topography and Extinct Features
    While the vast majority of the plate is consumed, minor bathymetric features hint at its former expanse. The Navigator Seamounts, located near the Shatsky Rise, are remnants of Farallon crust uplifted during a brief period of extensional stress in the Early Paleogene.
    The most controversial remnant is the 'Great Western Rise (GWR),' a $3…
