Once they finally reach the surface, they cause volcanism, like under Hawaii. "And we think that those mantle plumes originate at the edges of the LLSVPs." In this type of research, seismologists ...

This is a 3D view of the top 1,000 kilometers of the earth's mantle beneath the central Pacific showing the relationship between seismically-slow "plumes" and channels imaged in the study.
