Complex patterns of spreading centers were formed in Mesozoic time during the breakup of Gondwanaland and the Pacific tectonic plate. The approximate locus of each breakup can be identified by paleomagnetism, paleogeography, and plate tectonics. Each coincides with the present location of similarly complex patterns of intense positive gravity anomalies produced by rising and divergent mantle convection. Apparently the convection caused the breakups and the location and intensity of the convective pattern have not changed since Mesozoic time.
