WThe Eifel hotspot is a volcanic area sometimes categorised as a "hotspot" in Western Germany. It is one of many recent volcanic formations in and around the Eifel mountain range, especially the volcanic field known as Volcanic Eifel. Although the last eruption occurred around 10,000 years ago, the presence of escaping volcanic gases in the region indicates that it is still active, if only weakly. A seismic anomaly has been observed in the upper mantle beneath the Eifel volcanic area and interpreted as indicating the presence of a mantle plume. Several predictions of the plume hypothesis are not fulfilled, however, and it has been proposed that the volcanic activity in this area is a result of passive melting due to lithospheric/crustal extension and shallow convective processes related to the ongoing subduction of the Eurasian plate as part of the Alpine orogeny.
