The results of the analysis of the volumes distribution of the seamounts formed on different age’s oceanic plates have been presented. The peculiarities in the spatial distribution of the heights and volumes of oceanic volcanoes formed in different geodynamic conditions were revealed. The conclusion about the leading part of the intraplate volcanism on the lithosphere about 60-90 millions age in the bottom’s volcanic morphostructure formation is make.
