160:. Such terranes are often better preserved than the exposed parts of continental flood basalts and are therefore a better record of large-scale volcanic eruptions throughout Earth's history. This "docking" also means that oceanic plateaus are important contributors to the growth of continental crust. Their formations often had a dramatic impact on global climate, such as the most recent plateaus formed, the three, large, Cretaceous oceanic plateaus in the Pacific and Indian Ocean: Ontong Java, Kerguelen, and Caribbean.

There are 184 oceanic plateaus in the world, covering an area of 18,486,600 km (7,137,700 sq mi) or about 5.11% of the oceans. The South
Pacific region around Australia and New Zealand contains the greatest number of oceanic plateaus (see map).
