Azores Plateau

The Azores Plateau or Azores 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.
