The Shatsky and Hess Rises, the Mid-Pacific Mountains and the Line Islands large igneous provinces (LIPs) present different challenges to conventional plume models. Resolving the genesis of these LIPs is important not only for a more complete understanding of mantle plumes and plume-generated magmatism, but also for establishing the role of subducted LIP conjugates in the evolution of the Laramide orogeny and other circum-Pacific orogenic events, which are related to the development of large porphyry system
