Using data from a topographic and magnetic survey, the magnetization vector of Suiko seamount near the middle of the Emperor seamount chain (44.5¿N, 170¿E) was calculated. An inclination of -31¿¿9¿ and a declination of 213¿¿9¿ was found, although the goodness ratio is poor (R=1.1). The paleolatitude thus found (17¿¿5¿) is significantly different from its present latitude, supporting the theory that the Emperor-Hawaii chain has been formed by the Hawaiian hot spot. Magnetization of the seamount is reversed, agreeing with the recent DSDP results.
