The North Plateau is small and almost separated from the rest of the Manihiki Plateau. [4] The High Plateau is the largest part of Manihiki covering 400,000 km 2 (150,000 sq mi) above 4000 m. The second largest part is the Western Plateaus covering 250,000 km 2 (97,000 sq mi) above 5000 m and reaching 3,500–4,000 m (11,500–13,100 ft) below ...

The basalt samples at Paraná and Etendeka have an age of about 132 Ma, during the Valanginian stage of the Early Cretaceous.
