This radio broadcast continues the discussion from the previous show ('Deep Mantle Plumes Help Explain Hawaii's Origins') over whether the Hawaiian Islands were created by deep mantle plumes. Don Anderson, a geophysicist at the California Institute of Technology, proposes an alternate theory that the islands formed from magma oozing from a crack in the Pacific plate. The clip is 1 minute and 23 seconds in length.
