Arago hotspot is a hotspot in the Pacific Ocean, presently located below the Arago seamount close to the island of Rurutu, French Polynesia. Arago is part of a family of hotspots in the southern Pacific, which include the Society hotspot and the Macdonald hotspot among others. These are structures beneath Earth's crust which generate volcanoes and which are in part formed by mantle plumes, although Arago itself might have a shallower origin. As the Pacific plate moves over the hotspots, new volcanoes form and old volcanoes are carried away; sometimes an older volcano is carried over the hotspot and is then uplifted as happened with Rurutu.

  • Der Arago-Hotspot ist der älteste Hotspot im Pazifischen Ozean. Er befindet sich unterhalb des in der Nähe von Rurutu in den Australinseln Französisch-Polynesiens. Seine Aktivität reicht rund 120 Millionen Jahre zurück ins Aptium. (de)

  • Le point chaud d’Arago est un point chaud du sud de l’océan Pacifique, situé actuellement sous le mont Arago, près de l’île de Rurutu en Polynésie française. Arago fait partie d'un groupe de points chauds du Pacifique Sud, comprenant notamment celui de la Société et celui de Macdonald. (fr)
  • Il punto caldo di Arago è un punto caldo dell'Oceano Pacifico, situato al di sotto dell'Arago Seamount, nei pressi dell'isola Rurutu, nell'arcipelago delle Isole Australi. L'Arago fa parte di una famiglia di punti caldi del Pacifico meridionale che include anche il punto caldo delle Isole della Società e il punto caldo di Macdonald. Si tratta di strutture al disotto della crosta terrestre che danno origine a vulcani e che sono in parte formati da pennacchi del mantello, anche se l'Arago sembra avere un'origine meno profonda. Con il movimento della placca pacifica al di sopra dei punti caldi, si formano nuovi vulcani mentre quelli vecchi vengono eliminati. In qualche caso un vecchio vulcano capita al di sopra del punto caldo e può venire sollevato, come è accaduto con l'isola Rurutu. (it)
