The Azores PlateauorAzores Platform is an oceanic plateau encompassing the Azores archipelago and the Azores Triple Junction in the North Atlantic Ocean.[1] It was formed by the Azores hotspot 20 million years ago and is still associated with active volcanism.[1][2]
The plateau consists of a roughly triangular-shaped large igneous province that lies less than 2,000 m (6,600 ft) below sea level.[3][4]
