Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain is formed by a hotspot?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources, including a USGS page, state that the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain was formed by the Pacific Plate moving over the Hawaiian hotspot (mantle plume).
