摘要

Using plate motion reconstructions for the Nazca, Cocos, and South American plates in relation to the Galápagos hotspot, we find that age-depth dependence of bathymetry, Galápagos plume dynamic topography, crustal relaxation, and magmatic production permit reasonable estimates for the subsidence of former islands along the Carnegie and Cocos Ridges. Our dynamic topography estimates are partially based upon geodynamic theory (fluidmechanics and elasticity) and also upon detailed bathymetric observations and analysis. For three different target areas over Carnegie Ridge and two over Cocos Ridge, we infer subaerial landmasses over the past ~20 Ma.We provide rough estimates of the surface areas of these paleo-archipelagos, which were comparable to that of the present-day Galápagos archipelago. We construct a history of emerged (paleo-island) topography along the conjugate pair Carnegie-Cocos hotspot tracks and infer that significant subaerial landscapes existed for at least the past ~20 Ma. The genetic ancestors of endemic faunal species in Galápagos (e.g., marine iguanas) migrated away from South America, genetically diverging from their land counterpartsmuch earlier than the age of the present Galápagos Islands (~3Ma). At 16.5Ma, the total emerged landmass on the Carnegie Ridge alone may have been ~2.5 times that of the current Galápagos archipelago. (The conjugate landmass along the Cocos Ridge has been subducted.) We propose that this large landmass, at least one-fourth the size of Iceland, be called Darwinia in recognition of its importance in the evolution of some Galápagos endemic flora and fauna made famous by Darwin's explorations. Summary Using reconstructed motions of the Nazca, Cocos, and South American tectonic plates with respect to the upwelling Galápagos mantle plume (hotspot), we studied the regional mechanical and thermal evolution of the crust and lithosphere. Using the theory of viscous fluids, elastic solids, and thermodynamics, and consider
