Abstract

The 14 islands of the Society Archipelago are dispersed in a SE-NW direction, over a distance of 900 km in the South Pacific Ocean. The regression method concludes that the proportion of emerged land, compared to the total surface area, including the lagoon, is the best morphological criteria to estimate the distance to the hot spot and the geological history of the islands. -from English summary
