Why is it important?
It gives a model for the formation of magmas in a continental tectonic setting, far away from plate boundaries such as oceanic ridges and subduction zones.
Perspectives
Intraplate volcanism is commonly related to mantle plumes, but in some cases it is a function of plate movement and thermo-mechanical relations between asthenospheric and lithospheric mantle.
