Twenty million years ago, the oceanic plateau was located directly over the hot spot. This positioning allowed for the accumulation of volcanic material, contributing to the formation of the plateau as the tectonic plate moved over the stationary hot spot. Over time, as the tectonic plate continued to shift, the plateau gradually moved away from the hot spot.
