One paper postulates that this process explains the coronae of Venus, which are thought to arise from mantle plumes. This process typically results in the nearby development of back-arc basins, and it delaminates the lithosphere that enters the asthenosphere. Large igneous provinces, usually made of flood basalt, make one component of this process too buoyant, leading to the creation of fold mountains or volcanic island arcs. Involving at least one oceanic plate, this is, FTP, what process by which one tectonic plate slips under another?
