In the late Cretaceous, activity in the mantle slowed and the Kerguelen hotspot was reduced to a single plume which created the Ninety East Ridge. 120–95 Ma when the Southern and Central Kerguelen Plateau formed together with the Broken Ridge, the Kerguelen hotspot produced 1 km (0.24 cu mi)/year, but 95–25 Ma the output decreased to 0.1 km (0.024 cu mi). 73: 86: 186:
